WISE

PARENTING

—–Melba Wilderman

    Parenting, like the Army, is probably the toughest job we’ll ever love.  Of course, it would be much easier if we could refer to an all-inclusive “how-to” manual or if we could attend a Parenting 101 class.  Uncertainty, it seems, is a daily existence.  The truth is parents need to support and encourage each other because raising responsible, well-rounded children is not an easy thing to do alone.

       There are many experts out there in the world who can all tell you what wise parenting looks like.  You can see them on any TV talk shows and you can read their books.  But maybe we just need to look within our own community to see what works and what doesn’t.  I think there are common characteristics among our parents who are doing a beautiful job of raising their children.    ....more
