WHAT WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY FOR YOUR KID? Alot!
Everyone has alot of things they think they can do differently, it is easier said than done, but let us not forget, Parenting is hard work, the best you can do is to guide a child.
Now, back to what I will do differently for my kid, I have a 5years old son and my 17years old cousin leaving with me ,if I was asked this question years back, I know I would think i will be able to do alot but TIME!
REGARDING TIME, I decided not to do office job, after I graduated from university, my husband and I decided to go into vocation, I learnt shoemaking and my husband learnt Tailoring, so we could be our own boss and create enough time for ourselves and most importantly, OUR KIDS.
FREEDOM TO CHOOSE;
Children are gifts from God, they get to know us, Parent first, then we (Parent)introduce them to whatever we believe in. I was born into a family that practice Islamic religion nd my husband's parent are Muslim as well, but I found Christ and I realized I am more connected to my creator through Christainity.
My parent didn't force Islam on me, they gave me freedom to choose, I ended up marrying into an Islamic family, I did my wedding in Islamic way because that's what my parent have always wanted. So I will teach my children in the way of the Lord but I WILL ALSO GIVE MY CHILDREN FREEDOM TO CHOOSE.
LOVE: when I meant freedom to choose, do not forget I will always be there to guide them, let them see things in another ways, pray with them and pray for them, believe in them and make them believe in themselves.
they are free to marry in any part of the world, so far they found love.
If I make them believe love is the greatest of all things, why would I want to give them boundaries on the kind of spouse they should get married to.

3IN1: If there is anything I might need to impose on my children, they are Talent, Career and vocation. Each one of my children will work and practice lots of things from being a kid, so help me GOD. My 5years old son has been into Musical instruments since he was just 4yrs, now I notice he is picking interest in art, and his next birthday, we are going to an art gallery and might purchase a painting ,so that he can know he can make money from his passion/talent.
Also, Each of my children will learn a handwork, my husband and I went to a private university but we still Learnt handwork, though our school introduced that to all student in 300levels for 4 months but we later went for advanced classes after university and we are doing well now.
Lastly, Education isn't a scam, they will all get a degree, like go through everything and them getting to choose is LIFE to me.
while going through this journey with them, i will only guide them, show them love, pray with them and pray for them, make them trust me and when they trust me, I wont betray their trust.SO HELP ME GOD.
