PARENTING
To be an effective parent, it is imperative that the parents become effective, responsible and balanced people before embarking on the journey of having children. Unbalanced parents produce unbalanced children. The growing up of children are the responsibility of the parent, and NOT someone else or a government organization. Yes they can provide intellectual growth but the emotional/feelings development as well as the spiritual development is the full responsibility of the parents. This responsibility grows even bigger when home-schooling comes into play. It is a huge step in life, so please take it seriously.
