The Astute Art of Parenting

By Stanley Collymore There’s more to parenting than being a mother who, whether consciously or accidentally so, conceives and subsequently delivers into a world of uncertainty the helpless infant she’s successfully carried for its full term, with or minus the physical presence, moral or the financial support of a biological father. For true parenting primarily embodies the inculcation of those essential values which irrevocably prepare that once fragile child for the robustness of adulthood; and you Teri, tender in years as evidently you are yourself, seem to have already detected and truly mastered that art! © Stanley V. Collymore 5 January 2013.
