It is a fact, we sometimes slip-up when watching over our kids. We tend to wander away from children supervision to do some of our own stuffs, whether be it work, household chores or personal stuffs.
No, there is nothing wrong with it, we all want to squeeze out all the possible time we could get . But let me ask you this, is it really that hard to devote a few extra time to let’s say really concentrate on watching over our kids?
Just this week, there was a reported drowning of an 18-month old child in New York. Although the child was saved he is still in critical condition. Apparently, the child was alone at the backyard pool when the incident happened. Somehow the boy was able to go into the pool unnoticed by the grandparent. We do not blame anyone for this incident, as I said we tend to wander with child supervision to do our own stuffs.
Let me just ask you this, do you think it is worth the minute you spend in your own personal stuffs rather than giving your fullest attention in watching over your kids. I know we live a very busy lives, but, devoting time for our children should be our highest priorities, after all time flies so quickly that we didn’t notice that our once young children is now fully grown.
When will you commit to your children needs? When will we start paying attention?
Our thoughts and prayer goes out to the family of the boy mentioned in this article.
