We don't recommend that a parent use a restraint system for a child that has outgrown that system.

When you're a parent you find yourself looking at the unknown that is your child, trying to find a piece of yourself inside her, because sometimes that is what it takes to claim.

Why isn't there a commandment to "honor thy children" or at least one to "not abuse thy children"? The notion that we must honor our parents causes many people to bury their real feelings and set aside their own needs in order to have a relationship with people they would otherwise not associate with. Parents, like anyone else, need to earn respect and honor, and honoring parents who are negative and abusive is not only impossible but extremely self-abusive. Perhaps, as with anything else, honoring our parents starts with honoring ourselves. For many adult children, honoring themselves means not having anything to do with one or both of their parents.

If it's your child, it's different. You don't care about those things. It's so minor. You become a parent and nothing else really matters.

Being a Parent is Never a Job, It is an opportunity to make a difference, in life of a child that God has sent you to raise.” ~ Tom Baker

Being a parent wasn't just about bearing a child. It was about bearing witness to its life.
