To Parents Poem by Valsa George

To Parents

Rating: 5.0


Though beans of the same pod
Our children are not of the same mould
‘Be like others, ’ they are often told
And discrepancies, dealt so bad

Remember! Each child is different
With faculties quite variant
So celebrate the difference
Not through mere sufferance
But through open preference!

A wonderful didactic and instructive poem of positive parenting to respect and embrace differences and accept our children as different individuals not copies to be manipulated so we may live vicariously through them, as if we were ever perfect!

An advice to the discerning parents to correct themselves and proceed with the tiny tots from the very next phase of the life of the latter. A mother speaking from her own trails and errors rectified speaks here and she has the resemblance of one Valsa George.

A good message to Parents Valsa. Each child have their own specific qualities and should be treated accordingly. We should not try to mold them into what we would like them to be. Nurture them when they are young then let them leave the nest to experience life on their own and make decisions whether good or bad. A good write on parenting.

In your comments to my poem, Every Child Can'r be an Einstein, you said the same thing, and accidentally I find the same sentiments in verse. An advice in a very well writ poem every parent should follow.

Each child is different because each child is different soul. We shall feel this truth. Sometimes children differ in behavior and attitudes from parents. This is a nice poem to read again..

A great thoughtful poem for the parents. Every child is different and but has some thing singular and special in him.

This is a great poem that I wish for each parent written on heart to have. Every child, a treasure on its own, all we need is only cherish them and offer our greatest love. Thank you dear Valsa for another wonderful poem to touch my heart!
