Give Your Children Their Little Heavens

Make Your Kids Happier

Have you always centered your aspirations on your own personal dreams/objectives as a wife or husband like buying that beautiful wooden living room set or that classy-looking ready to install kitchen cabinet? Are you aware that to some extent, you have been scrimping to the highest level on every item of the household budget including the small whims of your little ones just to realize these things? These are some of the pitfalls most parents fall into, unconsciously or otherwise in their quest for personal fulfillment. They may not be aware of it but the gauge of happiness/fulfillment in adults is not comparable with that of the kids. Kids do not care how modern or expensive the house furnishings may be nor are they appreciative of the value/prestige of the gold necklace their Mom is wearing. All they care about is that portable rectangular kiddie pool on display for summer, or on a smaller scale, that big brown teddy bear at the neighboring mall, or that pretty and long-haired barbie doll they see on the shelf. But can their little dreams compete with mom and dad's gigantic goals? Or will their little "heavens" remain in heaven forever? Will we parents wake one morning to realize that our kids have outgrown their wishes? We as parents should be sensitive of the little things that make our kids' eyes twinkle with delight. Your adult wants can wait, you seldom outgrow them. But your kid's joys are so short-lived. Don't wait for tomorrow for tomorrow may never come. Common, ask your little ones what they wish Santa would give them for Christmas. Buy it now! Do not procrastinate. Christmas may be too far away. Many things can happen between now and then. I remember the story of a mother who kept on postponing for Christmas that cute little Superman costume his son had been asking her to buy. The little boy contacted dengue the week after. The mother remembered about the wish of his son and bought it. The boy smiled upon seeing his dream costume. But he died without having the chance to wear it. DON'T DELAY! MAKE YOUR KIDS HAPPY NOW!
