Loving is caring

Having a child is NOT about incentives, priorities or obligation to family or country.
It is all about providing the child unconditional love, quality bonding
It is all about giving the child your time your attention It is all about nurturing the child's mental and holistic development
It is all about teaching the child on our culture and tradition

We chose to have them, and therefore it is us not
The maid to mother them
The teacher to educate them
The telly to enlighten them
The friends to bond with them
The hawker to provide their daily meals
The mall to entertaiment them.

In return the immense love received
Pride on watching babe grow to a fine adult
Joy to witness the 1st step and the 1st word uttered
That is what bringing up a child is all about

Most important. Simply take time to enjoy them. Many parents short change themselves I think.
