Raising your gift: Guidelines on how to raise happy, healthy and bright children

By Dr. Emilie Van Wyk

RAISING YOUR GIFT is about raising happy, healthy, bright, and well-behaved children. I believe we are fearfully and wonderfully made. During the first three years of a child's life, the foundation for his or her life is laid; in fact, child development starts before your child is born. Your children's potential for learning is greatest during their first three years of life. So do not wait . . . "Kindergarten is too late " (Ibuka) Emotional development and empathy are an integral part of being human. Emotional intelligence can assist your children to be more successful in life. It is imperative for children to have secure attachments so as to grow up healthy, happy and bright. Discipline, an act of love, involves teaching and guiding children with love. Discipline helps children to develop intellectually, emotionally, socially, morally, and spiritually. You discipline by connecting to your child and then lovingly correcting him or her to be beautiful. It is important for your children to know their Creator; the One who fearfully and wonderfully made them. Spiritual development gives meaning to life, and helps us to serve and be faithful. We are interrelated beings; all the dimensions of our lives affect each other. "It is not our right to have children - Children are a gift that we must appreciate and devote to their Maker." - Jacqueline Luevennink Psalm 127:3 "Children are a gift from God they are His reward."
