There’s no place like home


Home means different things to different people in different places. The word home means more to me than just the word. It refers to my family, my love ones, my place, and my children. Home is the only place where I would like to be. Nothing beats the emotional bonding my home brings and gives to me. In my recent research I have come across with the state education initiative on suicide prevention. Honestly, we don’t have that program here in the Philippines so I was kind of surprise to read about it in several states as part of their high school curriculum. I was just thinking that maybe the great contributor was being alone and able to live apart from their family at a very young age. Teens definitely need parental guidance because that is the time where they have to apply some of their values and knowledge in life. They start to deal with their environment and their life but the need to belong to someone and come home in a family is a totally different thing. It is different if me as a parent can see my child everyday, prepare milk for her at night, give them vitamins before going to school and yes, chat with them when they come home even when I am busy. I always stop typing and spend a minute or two to hear them talk. The topic might not be that important though but my attention is. They need their mama to listen to them and chat with them about their school activities and friends. This is how I learn how they react to certain situations and the perfect time for me to coach them how to deal with those situations. Coaching and giving advises is not by appointment because it comes naturally from chatting and they learn a lot from it. It is very different if done by phone or done a week after. On that day that they were really excited to talk about it, I give them my full attention just to give them the impression that I am interested with becoming their friend and part of their lives. Day to day chat even during meal times is very important for the children. It makes your emotional bonding stronger and it made them closer enough to care for each other. My parent strategy is very simple: show love and let them live with love so they may start caring for each other and learn to care for other people. Caring, quality time and little chats greatly affect the sense of belongingness and self confidence of my children. I continuously support their dreams, their ambitions and of course power it with love. I can smile even though they are not babies anymore I still hug them and kiss them anytime and they feel that warmth and love. It made them stronger and very much at home with my home. Home spells warm and love. Home is truly the place I want to be when my day ends. I can rest, laugh, talk, hug my children and watch over them. The experience is priceless, the fun limitless and the caring infinite.
