Too many parents act like parenthood ends at a certain date. They’ve given their child all the basics now it’s up to them to fend for themselves. Although I agree that it’s important to allow your child independence to find their own path that doesn’t mean that someone doesn’t help hand out the instruction and lend a snack along the way.
Parenthood instead never ends. It might be replaced with diaper to a tissue to help wipe off a different end but the love and care should cover a lifetime When a parent forgoes their responsibility to their children it not only becomes an extra burden on society as a whole but more importantly makes it more difficult to help this individual reach their potential. As a child grows we might have to grow as well as we develop new and better techniques in parenting, so that we can continue to play a positive role in their life’s and in return make a positive role for ours as well.
