It is every parent’s primary responsibility to provide their children with utmost care. Every child needs to be loved, cared for, fed, and played. It is every child’s need to feel attached to their mom and dad. Every child acquires education and every parent must educate their child as needed. Every child’s future will essentially depend on his/her child experiences; these experiences depend on their parent’s ability to apply the principles of care; this ability roots from dedication of the parents; whether the parents were dedicated is affected by their ability to set aside time to spend with their children.

As an observer, it is difficult to be effectively involved in such dilemmas. However, there are ways to help!

I have dedicated part of my life to children with disabilities; I enjoy talking, laughing, playing with them and I truly hope they feel the same way. I am honored to play a small part in their lives; I am honored to use my ability to recover for their disability; I am honored and thankful to be among them. What I am most proud of is that I am helping parents who can’t help their child due to overwhelming schedules. It brings most joy to my spirit to know that I can help them. I had a great experience, however, this was not like being a mother.

Being a mother is one of the most important jobs of all; a mother must be the most dedicated person, the most caring human being, the hardest working woman, and the greatest friend of all times. But these principles will not always apply to every mother-child relationship since many moms must work. Does this mean the child will not become mentally and physically capable? or could there be a temporary fix for this problem?

When mothers need to work, they will replace their position with another trusted person. Choosing “that” person is the most significant decision since it will affect the child’s mental and behavioral growth. “That” person must be nearly as caring as the mother of the child. “That” person must be educated, and must be able to put the child front of her own needs, necessities, and all others. It is extremely important who “that” person is and what she is capable of doing. The mother can be relieved, knowing that her child is in good and caring hands. A mother can perform productively throughout the day without constantly worrying for her little baby. The mother is, now, at peace.

Having a second hand to hold your child’s hands is rewarding. It is essential to know that your dreams can be continued. It is even better to know that your most valuable gift to this world is happy while you are pursuing your dreams. Don’t let your dreams fade away; and Don’t place your child in an unsafe environment. Believe in trust, pursue it, and place your self in the middle of it.

We are constantly dreaming of the future, imagining the world in the future, hoping for a “better” future, and hoping things turn out as we desire. We are constantly hoping. What we don’t realize is that future is here, in present. We are holding the future; we are steering its potentials; we are moving with it; we can change the future or we can make history. We can hope for future or we can take action.

Why not start today…?
