As we enter the world we’re completely determined by our parents and our very survival is dependent upon it. Our instincts tell us when we’re hungry, once we will need to be changed and once we need our sleep.
Bond between mom and child
To communicate these needs to our parents we were born with the capacity to shout to get the attention we want. This is the beginning of the learning process because we’re both learning in the days, weeks, months and years after our birth. Our parents understand how to care for us by our interaction together and we know how to communicate with them to receive their attention.
There’s something quite special about the bond established between a mom and her infant. Women are really special in the way they provide care for their baby and they’re always very conscious of their infant’s needs and are extremely sensitive to them and they give all of themselves to caring for them. It all begins when a woman conceives and for the next nine months a woman goes through so many emotions and feelings because she conveys her precious baby within her body making sure everything goes right. It is really a miracle the entire procedure and girls are so brave and so beautiful when they’re going during their pregnancy.
Personal sacrifices
I recall when Matthew was born and how excited and thankful I was given this superb opportunity of fatherhood. I recall as I think back to my youth how much my parents did for my sisters and I when we were young and how much they loved us. They always made personal sacrifices so that we would be given for so we would just know security and comfort. They made us feel protected.
I heard a lot from my parents and I want to share the exact things I heard as a child with my son. I call the main things we need to make a part of our daily life, Life lessons, and by following these ideals we’ll find our lives to be more fulfilling and our interactions with others more beneficial.
