Children are the seeds that we plant today and as time goes by they will be trees that will serve as the foundation of tomorrow. They will be the future-builders of the coming generation, but then it will take a long time before it happens so we must give them the best things in this world, not actually to spoil them, but to nurture their minds and to kill their folly by means of proper education and good living.

The best things that we can give to the children do not assure that they will be exactly the same as what we are thinking right now. Remember they are humans prone to mistakes. That is why we need to guide them step by step as they go through life. They still need guardians that will help them to point the right direction every time they are in crossroads. But time will come they will be standing on their own, all alone facing the trials, surpassing every obstacles in their way, and making decisions for their own selves. So before it happens we must make them as strong as the bamboo that no matter how hard and strong the typhoon is they can easily go with the flow of it.

As a result of this,children’s diet and health is neglected, and groceries are bought with two things in mind, price and convenience. Kids are left to entertain themselves, which usually means watching TV, playing video games or the internet.

Freezing them and creating ice pops is also a great fun way to get them to enjoy it. The possibilities are endless.
