Every single one of us was born into a family. Whether you were put up for adoption, your parents got a divorce, or you have all stayed together, it was a family even for just the smallest moment. In our world today the word family has so many different meanings. With all the confusion out there, people have forgotten what truly matters in life. This includes the sacred responsibility we have been given of raising children. 

Children learn and absorb information from the second they are born. They need to be taught: what is right versus what is wrong, how to treat others, and countless other life lessons. They are obviously not going to learn these lessons on their own. It is up to their parents to teach them these priceless lessons. 

In this blog I will be exploring the different ways of how this is successfully accomplished, as well as talk about how teaching kids these lessons will affect their future lives, as well as society as a whole.

Should I Start a Family?

-
                I think it is kind of hard to overstate the importance that a father has in his kids’ lives. If we look in the scriptures, fathers were essential even from the very beginning. Throughout time society’s view of a father has changed, but God’s plan and expectations for a father has always been the same. In class this week we talked quite a bit about fathers, as well as some of the blessings we see in our lives of having families. Today I am going to talk about the role of fathers, as well as some of these blessings.                 In the proclamation to the family, it talks about how a father’s main role is to provide for his family. When some people hear this, they strictly think about financially. This is definitely not the case. Yes he should provide for his family in that way, but he should also provide emotionally, ...

Parenting

            It is a sad thing to see, but in today’s society being a parent is just not the priority that it once was. People are more worried about traveling the world, having careers, or other things that kids might get in the way of. Everyone just puts it off, and says that they might have kids later, and they might not. Sadly, when they have this mentality a lot of the time it never ends up happening. When this happens, they miss out of the amazing experience that it is to have children, and that family unit. In class this week we talked about some of the benefits of being a parent, and I am going to focus on a couple of them for this post.             Learning to problem solve. I don’t think that there is a single parent in all of history that would tell you that parenting is easy. It doesn’t come with a how-to guide, you have experiences t...

How Many Kids Is Too Many?

-
In our lives there are so many decisions that we make. There are day to day decisions, small decisions, big decisions, and so many others. It is so important that we realize the importance of making these decisions, as well as thinking about how these decisions will affect our life, as well as the lives of others. We all know some of the big ones we all face, where should I go to school, what should I study, and who should I marry. But one of the biggest decisions we will make in our lives is how many kids we should have. This decision obviously will have an effect on our lives and the lives of our significant other, but have you ever stopped to think about some of the possible myths and lies you have heard about having kids? In my post today, I am going to be emphasizing just how important it is to spend time thinking about how many kids you want, and what possible outcomes might come as a result of that decision.              ...
