Kids are people too and just like grown-ups they are hurting.Some kids put on a front,you see them smiling,laughing but deep down they are dying with so much pain and hurt.Other kids act out and become problematic,while some kids keep to themselves and bury the pain and hurt.
It is so important that we as parents make time for our kids,listen to them,have fun with them,laugh and be there for them.All some kids need is someone to love them and be there for them.Some parents have become so busy that the kids are the ones raising themselves.They believe that once they buy them gifts and give them money,then all is well.Kids need more than things and money.If you are a parent,begin to hugs your kids,tell them you love them them,listen to them,find out what's going on in their minds,visit and know their teachers,make time time for them and be the best parent you can be by loving them.If you don't someone else will do it,someone else will listen and make time for them and in the end we would have lost our children to the ills and curses of society.
I'm a teacher and I work with kids and I know what I'm saying.A hug and really loving kids the right way can really make a big difference.Today,I spent 5 mins just laughing and giving jokes with my kids and I learnt quite a lot from them.It may have made me look stupid laughing at their jokes and doing some crazy dance but it made a difference in the life of a child.Five mins,a hug and I love u is not too much to ask of us.
