Love, whether you are a child or an adult, is the most magical experience that one can ever hope to have.

When one has a child, parents show the most amazing ability to offer unconditional love to their baby, perhaps this is the most pure love of all, bestowed upon your child no matter what happens along your child's path to adulthood. The child learns what love really is from the parents, learns how to give love to others as well as receiving love in a healthy responsible environment.

Think back to when you had your children and picture how happy they were to see you when they awoke from a sleep, how they loved to play with you, to be tickled, kissed and cuddled. Your children also felt so protected at that stage, no one could touch them as they knew that they were with you. They knew that you were there to offer them kind words of love when they were hurt and needed to feel your warmth and attention.

From the patents point of view it was also an amazing feeling to have this little person so dependant on you. The feeling of love and protection for that child was always first and foremost in your thoughts. All the emotions that are related to this little being, whether it is worry, anxiety, sorrow and pain are love orientated. Unconditional love that knows no boundaries. Children learn from what they see and hear, experienced most times at home, surely if one grows up with love and understanding then there will be no hostility towards others.

At the end of the day a child still needs discipline and in times if trouble , no matter what kind if trouble, the parent is always around to point out the errors and yet still offer love and words of encouragement in times of need. If a child still feels that love, the problem will be far easier to get through than if the parent left the child to handle the problem alone.
