Introduction to Parenting.

Just before I begin, I’ll like to correct ‘our notions on parenting'. I’m sure when we hear parenting,  we instantly think ‘Dad and mum'. But as accurate as this is, there are many more surrogates for parenting than just the biological parents of the offspring. A surrogate could be an older sibling, step-parent, grandparents, aunt, uncle, other family members, a legal guardian and even a family friend. With that being said;

What is parenting?

Parenting is the process of supporting a child’s physical, emotional, social and intellectual development from infancy to adulthood. For the main purpose of ensuring the child's health and safety, transmitting cultural and moral values and preparing the child for life as a productive adult.

I look forward to taking all my splendid readers; fathers, mothers, single ladies, bachelors, teenagers and as many that are willing to master this art of parenting , on this great journey with me. So sit up right, buckle your seat belts, as I do not promise a smooth ride all the way. 

With Love,
