PFSeries2: Raising a Baby

Mar 22, 2020   •   by Proshare Research   •   Source: Proshare   •   eye-icon 186 views

A wedding is an event, marriage a journey, and child-nurturing a commitment. Children are the salt of the earth, their innocence, bravery and untainted perspective of life untouched by the biases and melancholy that life imposes on adults makes them representatives of the best of mankind. It is for this reason, that parents need to do their best to raise children with a healthy appreciation of a life unconstrained by the shades of religious intolerance, ethnic profiling and fear that make adults less enviable representatives of humankind.

The nurturing responsibilities of parents is perhaps the most critical and yet most underappreciated aspect of family. The home is more than a house filled with people, it is a complex social process of raising human beings with aspirations of greatness, emotional intelligence and intellectual integrity. The home is an incubator for an increasingly improved human race. It is this understanding that makes the home the centre of human advancement and child-rearing the noblest of the roles of a family. 

Several prevalent global challenges ranging from religious bigotry, terrorism, racism, sexism and general intolerance arise from homes where the moulding of children's perspectives of life have been tainted by the wrong and damaging social values, religious perspectives and racial bias. The Christian Holy Bible captures the point succinctly when it notes in Proverb 22:6, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it”.  Proverb 29:17 further points out that, “Discipline your children, and they will give you peace; they will bring you the delights you desire”. The Muslim Holy Quran also emphasises the need for children to be raised properly with a clear understanding that nations are not built on what adults know but on what children envision, according to Surah Al Tur verse 21, "And those who believe and whose families follow them in Faith, - to them shall We join their families: Nor shall We deprive them (of the fruit) of aught of their works: (Yet) is each individual in pledge for his deeds”.
