I remembered when I walked on street with my fried and her child. I am not belonging a child. It was her child. So I talked much with her. Her child interrupted her mother and want to tell something to her. Her mother complained her child "I am busy talking with him when I finish this" Her child was not happy. I told her to listen her child. She did what I said. Meantime, I explained her about first important to listen a child wanting to tell something no matter. Her child was the daughter. I loved her daughter was always playing funny with with me. But I am not a father.

Yes it is more important for me to listen to my kids when they wanted to tell me something. It is harder to make the children understand that I'm busy talking with my friend or others.. it is easier to excuse my friend for the interruption, they will understand. I will listen to what my child wants to tell first, after that try to explain to my child that I need time to talk to my friend... happy that my child looks understand.. however still my child interrupting...

The most wonderful gift from God I received is my child. Never in my days that his presence is an issue to me inspite of the fact that i sometimes under stress for being a single mom, he is always my priority even to the extend of giving up some things i love to do that would jeopardize his happiness. A friend of mine said to me I quote "you are really blessed to have a child while me I've been praying and waiting for it for 8 years now" So when his wife got pregnant after 8 years and give birth to a healthy baby boy, we meet again and he said " Everything is different now". Yes, everything is different when we became parents.

It's a pity that your friend isn't paying much attention to her daughter. I hope she won't regret it in the future. It is very important for a child to acknowledge by his/her parent/s. It's somewhat letting them feel loved and cared for. They are always curious about everything. And answering their questions all the time, prevents them from looking for attention - from others. Some kids tend to be bullies in school, because it's their only way to get noticed. They crave attention which should have been given my their parents.

I am unmarried, but I have some experiences. Every child ia a angel who comes to the world by the hands of The god. Many parents always ignore the feeling of children and they think their children are too young to express theirselves. In fact, children are very clever and they can understand the meaning, even though they are several monthes old. As parents, they should lister to the children sincerely no matter the ask is reasonable or not. Communicating with children is very necessary.

Yes, they are. Everyday my parents would ask me "How was your day?". To me, it felt like I was somebody to them. I remember when I was younger, my mom would work nonstop. At the end of the day, she would come home and talk to me. Just knowing she was there to spend time with me, meant everything to me. I'm just going to point out that parents are just as important as children. Now, I may not have experience being a parent but I love kids. I think that every child shouldn't be neglected, they should be heard and be loved unconditionally no matter what.

Hi, For me, my child is always my priority.and I will always protect him and give him the best for his life, as far as I could. Sometimes, when I was doing something and my son came to interrupted me, I will told him to wait for awhile and I will go back to him.Of course,kid can't wait and just want to get the things he wants. No choice, I have to stop my things and listen to his talking and take the things that he wants. After that, I will explain to him that next time he has to be patient and if nothing that urgent, he has to wait till I finish my things,then only I can do the things that he wants. To educate a kid is not simple.We have to be patience and need lot of energy to train them and to educate them to be the RIGHT person.

Every parent will tell you that their children is the most important thing that ever happened in their lives. No treasure or wealth is more valuable than our children. I know I do. Everyday I think about them. My family is in the province. While I work in the city. I make it a point to go there every month. And when my kids are on vacatioin, they're with me. I am also protective to the point I am overdoing it. Every time we cross the street, I want to hold their hands. I want to carry them even if they are 12 years old. I am not a materialistic person. I think of my family and I feel like I'm the wealthiest person in the world.

Hi, children are indeed our most important natural asset since the future of mankind rests in their hands. My daughter continues to be the most important person in my life even if she doesn't have time for her old dad now that she has a family of her own. Our children are a special gift from God and should be number one on our list of priorities especially when they are young.

Parents should be responsible for their children. It is hard to say children is the most important because it is up to each individual. A person in life has been playing many roles. To be a SON or DAUGHTER, a BROTHER OR SISTER, A FATHER OR MOTHER, A GRANDCHILD, A FRIEND, A COLLEGUE, A HUSBAND OR WIFE, .... Thus except children, a person has also other important responsibility. A person who see their parents the most important is a good son/daughter, a person who think their children the most important is a great parent, ... I am not sure that my children is the most important but I know I can live without them.
