My Reflection on Raising Ready Children Raising children today is not something you can do on your own — it truly takes support, guidance, and prayer. Times have changed; it’s not like back in the days when parents didn’t have access to technology or all these new resources. Today, raising ready children means preparing them not only for school but for the world they will face — a world full of challenges, choices, and change. As parents, we can’t predict what our children will go through, but we can prepare them by building their minds and spirits to be strong. We must teach them to never give up, to face challenges with courage, and to ask God for direction. I always remind my child not to be a follower, but a leader — to take every opportunity for a good education, and to follow their passion so they can build a life that benefits them, not just what I or their father want. There are many books and resources today that help parents and children grow — books that teach about attitude, personality, emotional strength, and how to overcome difficulties. Technology, like YouTube, even gives us more tools to learn from. Through this journey, I’ve also learned to examine myself as a parent. I realize there were times I could have done better, but instead of focusing on my failures, I see them as lessons for growth. Parenting has taught me to understand my children better, to face challenges with them, and to keep improving every day. Raising ready children means raising them with love, strength, wisdom, and faith — so that they are prepared for whatever the world brings..
