Parenting is a deliberate act! How do I mean?
Deliberate means being intentional and systematic. Raising children should be done systematically and intentionally.
Therefore, the way we speak to our subordinates, the treatment we melt on our domestic staff, and the way we talk to our elders all play an important role in the life of a child. They learn and imbibe these virtues, which inform their opinion on how an individual should be treated.
When they see us display a lack of empathy for the people around us, they assume that that’s the way to go. Therefore, they’re not able to relate to people’s pains and vulnerability. Thereby, they can hurt people intentionally without remorse because they have seen the adults in their lives deal with people in such a manner.
Every one of our actions around children matters and so, we must be deliberate in raising these God-given treasures of ours.
