P52-{Things That Grow}, Spring Challenge and Friday Memes
The large shady tree beside the playground near our place.
Coconut Trees at the Beach
There are many things around us that grow. From that one tiny seed comes a big an shady tree after years of nurturing by nature. Parenting is liken to gardening. We carefully nurture the seeds that have been planted in our care. Waiting and watching how it sprouts and grows into an adult plant. We try our best to remove the weeds that gather around it by instilling good habits and moral values. Providing love and care as the young sapling grows. Adding fertilizer( educating) and providing the best nutrients (food) that we have available. Monitoring its progress every step of the way.
What are you thoughts on Parenting?

I think growing is a key process to evolve….we need to also aim to grow a little everyday…

Gorgeous photos! I adore trees and am more than a little sad that our current rental house has none. ;(

That is a very cool tree!
I never thought of parenting being like gardening – but you’re right, it’s so true! 🙂 Have a great weekend, Dominique!

I hope I’m better at parenting than I am at growing things!
