The most precious gift that parents can give to their children is encouragement.Not all children are scholars or atheletes.But they do have some hidden qualities in them.It is for the parents to find out and cultivate them.This encouragement will stand by them at all times and conditions.What do you think?

swing - my son on his swing
I think the best gift I can give my son is care free and enjoyable childhood. He is going to be a child only once in his life and that time is so short and precius. The first few years of his life I try to give him freedom as much as posible (freedom to run and play and be a child). He will have plenty of time to be serius in life.

Hi!violeta_va Thanks for responding.You have a very valid point there.Letting the child enjoy his childhood.Nowadays many children are missing out on this.How many children are allowed to play in the sand, in water, to go out and play?My sister does exactly this,if the kids want to play in the sand she just lets them,if they want to play in water she fills up the tub and lets them play. They really have a whale of a time.

Hi biggerb, I believe the best gift we can give our children is self confidence. To encourage your children in anything they want to do and to always be there for them builds that confidence. Blessings.

Me,if i will be blessed to have a children in the future,the greatest gift i will give to them is education. Not all are so blessed to finish school, but me i will work hard to bring them to school and to let them finish it. I will do it for their future. so as when the times come and when I am gone they can stand and make a living on their own.
