Raising children, is there more to it than changing their diapers?
To love your child, to guide him, to have high expectations of your children, to bestow upon them your encouragement to succeed their parents' achievements.
To be there for them and to nurture and believe in them. To not be their judge, instead to be their motivator. To let them know when they error and do wrong. To tell them what you expect of them is to reach their highest potential, encouraging them to strive higher than you did.
To encourage a child to do better, to know more. To be a leader to your child, to have footsteps that are good enough for them to walk in. To teach your children not to hate but to forgive. To not harbor your children's bad experiences but to teach your child to overcome them, to put them behind him.
To be slow to anger, to not in a fit of anger teach your child to respond to obstacles with such anger, but to show them how to be influential, diplomatic, and to use justice in their dealings as you study it in The Talmud and then they study it.
To love your child but not with a smothering suffocating love, to encourage your children's social abilities with others not to be just under your wing exclusively, to allow them to soar like the birds and to hover like the Angels.
To teach your children of the Commandments of The Torah. To not get pregnant and not have children at all if these are functions you cannot perform.
Loving your kids, means more than putting their food on their table, watching instead your own p's and q's so your child has a good example in you that they can follow.
