Reasons We Love Parenting!

Parenting is, by far, one of the most rewarding choices that we make.  Here are just a few of the reasons why parenting is so wonderful. 

 A Love that Knows No Boundaries - One of the greatest gifts that is bestowed upon a child is the ability to love unconditionally, without the boundaries that are set by our society.  A child does restrain when they feel the need to hug or kiss, regardless of their surroundings.  When the desire hits, they follow through.  How much better of a world would it be if we all gave in to our need for personal touch with our friends and loved ones?

A Learning Experience - Raising children is a constant learning experience.  Just when you think you have it down pat, the game suddenly changes due to a growth or change in the child.  Therefore, parenting becomes a way to keep your mind charged and ready for the next move.  As parents, we find ourselves constantly growing and developing to fit the needs of our families and children.  There is no time to get “bored” with the job of parenting, it is constantly a new experience!

 A Way to Stay Young - Although many parents will happily joke about the expanding sections of gray hair, parenting is also a way to stay young and young at heart.  From being more active to remembering our own childhood, our children provide us with outlets that keep our minds and bodies young.  Parents of toddlers quickly find renewed energy, while parents of school-aged children are able to relive some of the lost enjoyments of their own childhood.  Whether it is sharing a bike ride around the neighborhood, chasing an energetic toddler, or rereading your favorite childhood book, children give us a way to keep young and young at heart!

A Silliness Outlet - You know those times when you just want to sing and dance in the car, as though no one is watching?  (Come on…we can’t be the only ones!)  Parenting offers an excuse for all of our silly desires.  Children love watching their parents act “silly” and give in to our childlike ways.  Although people might notice you bouncing and singing as you drive down the road, their doubts about your sanity quickly disappear when they notice the toddler in the backseat doing the exact same thing!
