Despite the many sleepless nights, the endless diaper changes, and the struggles to get your kids to school on time–there is no greater joy than being a parent. No love on earth can measure up to parental love or the devotion a parent has for their children.
But you must admit there are times when kids appear to work extra hard to test your patience. And in those moments when prayer fails, perhaps a reminder of how crucial your love is to your bulilits can help. Here, find inspiring quotes from other parents to help you along.
Defining Parental Love
This type of love pertains to the care, affection, and warmth children receive from their parents. Kisses, hugs, praises, compliments, and attention are just some ways parents express love and care.
The love a child receives growing up determines their success. It is up to parents and guardians to provide kids with positive experiences to help them develop mentally and physically. Without parental love, kids can feel rejected and develop an impacted character.
