In the lifespan of a human being there are four distinct stages that each one should pass through. These include birth,initiation,marriage and death.Of these four,two are ultimate; birth and death.Birth is the happiest one while death is the saddest one.The other two are not ultimate and one may decide to or not to pass through them.This might also take place when death comes just after birth and before it is time for the next rite of passage takes place.After death there is nothing else that takes place and thus death is not important after it takes place.Birth and the period thereafter becomes the most important time in any human being.I will therefore focus the rest part of this article to discuss the importance of birth and childhood in life.

Each and every person in life has a birth date and he/she was one time a child doing things that children normally do.They had to experience childhood period to become the adults they are today.It is therefore evident that childhood is the most important period in life.The things that one dreams of when he/she was a child are realized in adulthood.The habits that are nurtured while one is a child are the building blocks of one adulthood.It is also in childhood that one discovers his/her talent.

It is only those who guard what they do while they are still children that become successful in life.Those who utilize their time in gathering useful knowledge and good morals.Those who spend their time thinking about what they will be when they grow up.
It is the duty of every parent to make sure that their children are brought up with the right morals by setting a good example to them and correcting the mistakes they see in their children.Teach the young ones the ways of God and

His commandments.Parents should also do the things they would like to see their children do.Give the right advice to children whenever you see them going wrong.If they fail to listen to your advice then never hesitate to use other means even if it means beating them because if you spare the rod you will end up spoiling the child.

It has been observed that those who fail to play their roles in the childhood of their children end up regretting in life and wish they had corrected the bad habits in their children while they were still young when it is too late to change anything.Take for example a thief,he/she did not wake up one day and decided to start stealing but it was an habit built in them from when they were young. One started stealing items in their surrounding at home before they crossed to their neighbors and later became professional thieves.If the guardians of these people were more strict to them, then they would have become better people.

The point I would like to pass to you is that if you want your son or daughter to grow up and successful person who is respected by the whole society,then you must train him/her from when he/she is young.
