What are the best gifts you can bestow on your child?

When I was a child, I always wish for special gifts that come from my parents. The kind of gift that will delight me and I can treasure until I grew up. Mostly, these gifts are material things like dolls, bags, clothes, etc. But now that I am a mother too, I realized that deep within my heart, it is not only the tangible gifts that I am asking from my parents since childhood. It is definitely more than that - something that is intangible but very meaningful to my life. They gave me a future, a preparation to responsibility and unconditional love and support that molded me to what I am right now.

As a mother of two sons, I would like to give the best I could to ensure a better future for my kids. Material things counts but these are only minor as compared to what they really deserved to receive from us. Here are the lists of the best gifts you can bestow on your child:

* THE GIFT OF LOVE, CARE AND UNDERSTANDING.

Children need unconditional love, tender care and sincere understanding from parents. There maybe other people who can show love, care and understanding to them but it is no comparable to what parents can give. For coming from parents is something unlimited, no time boundaries and genuine.

* THE GIFT OF HEALTH AND SAFETY.

It is our basic responsibility as parents to ensure our children's good health and safety. Proper nutrition, safe home and clothing are what they deserved from us.
THE GIFT OF EDUCATION. I remember my dad always told us that the only thing we can inherit from him is our education. Knowledge that cannot be stole by anybody and can be use as a tool in building our future.

* THE GIFT OF VALUES AND SELF-DISCIPLINE.

Teaching your children good Christian values is already a true gift from the heart. It will not only make them good citizens but a person who understands discipline.

* THE GIFT OF QUALITY TIME.

Our children will not be kids forever. They will grow and mature and have their own family too. Each day of their life should be given much value. Being with them all the time will not only increase your family bonding but you can help them build memories.

* THE GIFT OF SUPPORT.

All children deserve sincere support from parents not only financially but morally and spiritually. Advices and being with them always when problems occur is our way of showing them that we are responsible parents.

And most important of all best gifts you can bestow on your child is the GIFT OF LIFE. Just merely giving them the right to be born and live on earth is already a best gift not only from us as parents but above all the best gift we received from God.
