Raising Your Children
a The first years in the life of the young are crucial. Living experiences that will mark them forever, especially foundations as important as love, affection, respect and acceptance. a After analyzing the lifestyles of 12,500 children in five years, researchers at the Institute of Child Health, University of London found that children of working mothers were more problems as inactivity, poor nutrition and overweight. a 65% of parents surveyed had worked at least 21 hours a week, which was reflected among the small to a marked tendency to eat more sugary drinks and consume less fruit. the researcher, Catherine Law, said that in the absence of their mothers, children use their computers or watching TV for at least two hours per day, percentage is reduced by half in the case of children who enjoy time with their mothers.
Also play more extensively, with their bikes, run or walk, a situation that is associated with a close mother-child relationship. a It is important to get the hours we spent with them, are precious and can not be bought with money, nor replace the luxuries, material possessions, social status or a high volume of income. time and discipline to children is a great treasure as the Bible notes: a The wise son brings joy to their padresa a (Proverbs 15:20 a, New International Version). When not built on solid foundations, those same kids can become a source of bitterness, anger and suffering (see Proverbs 10:1, 17:25). a However, a proper foundation, determines the degree of relationship that we have in the future with them.
