Kids
Benefits of having kids
1. Having kids turns a couple into a family. Many couples will feel that lives are incomplete before we having kids.
2. You learn to be unselfish. Being a parent is a twenty-four hour job. You are at the call of another person that you are responsible. Because of this being a parent requires that you put the needs of your kid before your own. Yet it is when you are serving your kids that you realize you love them the most.
3. Kids enrich your life. Kids approach the world with such wonder. Everything is new to them. Kids allow you to experience some of that wonder. “Though dads and moms may initially moan about the loss of freedom that parenthood brings, most ultimately find that being a parent gives them a richer and fuller life. Raising kids forces parents to look beyond themselves, which is very good for their mental well-being,”
4. Kids are the world’s best teachers. Your kids will give you the opportunity of how to actually apply discipline. You know the different stages of development and constantly having to learn new things like why the sky is blue, how a hurricane develops, or the names of every dinosaur.
5. Being a parent improves your health. Parents are more likely to take care of themselves health wise, because they realize that they are responsible for the care of another individual. Parenthood comes with a lot of great health perks. Not only does it inspire parents to take better care of themselves physically, but it also fills them with a sense of purpose that genuinely enhances their psychological well-being.”
6. You learn about yourself. Being a parent will increased the patience and love in yourself. You know what is bothering you as well as what brings the greatest joy. You have will discover what is truly important. And in doing so have found that family are what matters.
7. Having kids increases your self-esteem. There is nothing quite like having your child look up at you and say, “You’re the best mom in the whole world,” or “Daddy, I want to be just like you when I grow up.” To be an integral part of your child’s life, you may have to give up a few things that once seemed important. But once a man makes that commitment to his family, there are enormous rewards: You see the positive effect you have on your kids, and that, in turn, affects how you feel about yourself and your success as a parent–and as a person.”
8. You get to be a kid again. Having kids allows you to do childish things. You don’t see many childless couples going to Disneyland or playing at the park. Because these are activities that parents and kids do. You can watch your favorite cartoons, play games, and throw around a ball with your child.
9. Parents laugh more. It is from the heart and genuine laugh. It comes from being a parent. Kids are funny. They are constantly doing things that are humorous and as parents we get to enjoy those moments.
10. Kids equal love. It is a proven fact that when you serve someone you grow to love them. Having kids means that you experience more love in your life. It also adds people to your world that love you. Your child won’t always love you, because there are times when they will say they hate you. But those moments are greatly outweighed by a spontaneous hug and genuine “I love you.”
