Parent as Protector
Welcome to MomThought. I’m Joan Romero at MomThought.com. Today’s Momthought is Parent as Protector.
I watched a friend of mine start a fire with out matches. He used two sticks and got some dry corn silk smoldering then he held it in his hands to protect it from the breeze.
The smoke, slightly increased and the corn silk was then added to tiny twigs a few seconds later. We had a flame, which was then turned into a roaring fire on which we made dessert.
The experience impressed upon my mind our role of Parent as Protector. Our children come to us very small and helpless. A seemingly small experience (like the breeze) can extinguish their impressionable personalities. But as we protect them and their personalities, we give them the fuel they need to grow and be able to accomplish great things in life.

Thank you,
