General

When eyes are open for the first time, there are parents who hold us. Compassion unfortunately so feels the presence of the baby, hoping that happiness will always be with him forever.The question is what can make parents happy? If the presence of a baby has made them smile, what is more beautiful than that?

Parents will always try to make their children happy, like a bird will always look for food flying to and fro for a small bird waiting in the nest. the nest. Likewise with us, as long as parents are still in power and capable they will always fight against the storm even for the happiness of their children.

For those who come from rich families, parents will tolerate giving everything that is asked by their children

"Papa, I want to buy this toy

"Papa, I want to play in the mall

"Papa, my game is broken, I want to buy a new one"

"Yes dear, papa will give everything to you," answered the father.

And another request, parents' love for children can be guaranteed by the happiness of children, but for those from disadvantaged families, children also ask for this and that

"Daddy, I want a toy"

"Son, I don't have money to buy you toys, but I can make toys for you"

Done ... the child receives it with pleasure and a sincere smile. However parents will try to make their children always happy in their own ways.

One time when a child has grown up, it has been 10 years in his lap. Now he will run after the vast world and surround him. Will he be like a little bird that does not return to its nest?


They will learn from others, if the first teacher is a parent then he will look for other teachers to get to know more people and also friends.

School, is a place for the child's growth and development where he knows knowledge, letters, numbers and so on. With school he can write, read and draw.

"Mom, tomorrow my friend will come here to our house. I will be very happy if you let my friends come".

"Yes son, of course mom is happy if your friends visit here", he replied with a smile so that it is permissible if his friends come. That means the child is not a small bird that leaves the nest.

Until now how much happiness is obtained, more than happiness will be the presence of the baby of course. The longer he grows rapidly, his knowledge is also getting wider. G          uide him so that he is not wrong in getting along. Direction for the sake of direction will always be given every day, if the child is wrong it is not uncommon to be advised for his good and also show the right thing and should be done.

Do you know why there are good children and bad children? Good children, of course, are always educated and given direction, from the beginning he will be guided to do good things, such as fostering attitudes such as being honest, humble, helpful and others. Instead, are naughty children not educated like that? Every parent, of course, expects their children to be good, in love with their family and surroundings, but each parent has a different way of raising their children. Those who are naughty may not necessarily be bad children, it's just that it is a process towards adulthood.

"Dad, mom, see now I will enter junior high school, my exam results get the highest score among my other friends and the principal said I deserve to enter favorite school"

"Thank God, we are very proud of you, you are indeed a smart child that you deserve the award," said the father proudly.

"This is all because of you guys who always support me and provide motivation to be a good child. I promise that when I grow up I will always make my father and mother happy every day for caring for and educating me very well and lovingly."

"You have a long way to go, son, whatever makes you happy is your parents' happiness. Keep on chasing your dreams, we as parents will always be by your side, son." Answer the mother while rubbing her eyes that are unable to hold back tears.

The relationship that is bound primarily between the child and the parent is a very strong inner bonding, the affection poured by the child to the parent or vice versa makes them inseparable. For a long time they live together in a family, of course they find a problem, depending on whether can be overcome easily or can not be controlled. In the problem of children, especially at the age of adolescence, they must experience differences, be it opinions, thoughts or others. The role of mother and father is very important in addressing this so that communication between family members is not messy.


Dad, mom, remember your childhood with your child is different, the development of times and technological advances have changed the situation that you went through with your child through now. No wonder if your child demands to buy a cellphone that is now an item that must be owned by everyone.


"Mom, dad, are you guys going to give me a cellphone?, all my friends have a cellphone and I feel right now I also need a cellphone." Said the child hopefully.

"Of course father will give you a cellphone for me, my child, but not now. You are still not old enough to have your own cellphone, if it is time I will definitely buy a cellphone for you".

"But father, I want to have a cellphone now. Look among all my friends that I don't have a cellphone," answered the child with a slightly annoyed feeling

 "We are afraid of studying and your school is disturbed if you have a cellphone for now, you should focus first on education, son," added the mother advising.

Like that about the difference that can cause problems between parents and children, do not take lightly the problem whether it is small or large. Just need to be overcome then the problem will disappear.

When children have grown up, of course it will cause new problems, because that is what happens in every family. Will the smile of the parents must be replaced with sadness? Of course not, because the sadness that is seen in front of the child will make him sad. Now it is the child's turn to return the favor of the parents who care for him since childhood, if he is not able, don't expect the smile of the mother and father to lead to success. That is what is called a cycle in a family which inevitably also occurs in the lives of children. Therefore, it should not be like a small bird that goes after being able to fly and does not return to the nest.
