The role of parents in shaping a loving society is an
important one. In today's world, the spirit of love and care in society is
gradually fading away, being overshadowed by the pace of modernization and
progress in the nation. This is evident in the increasing number of crime
cases such as murder, robbery, rape, and the abandonment of innocent babies.
These incidents, in turn, extinguish the spirit of caring and respect in
society. A loving society can only be formed through mutual love and respect
among family members, which is the foundation of a society. Parents have a
significant role in producing individuals who are loving and thus creating a
loving society in our beloved country.
Parents play a vital role in giving their children enough love. Children's
lives should be filled with love from their parents, instilling the spirit
of caring in their children from a young age, as the saying goes, "bend the
sapling while it's young." The love that is nurtured from a young age will
be more easily practiced and will become ingrained in the children when they
grow up. In this case, the presence of parents is essential during the
child-rearing period. For example, parents should always be by their
children's side when they are upset, such as when they fail an exam, to calm
their minds and hearts. If this is given attention by parents, the children
will feel valued, and the problems they face can be solved through the help
of their family members. In short, parents must be willing to make time to
give love to their children because parents are the closest people to their
children.
Moreover, religious upbringing is also necessary to produce a loving society
in our country. This is because there is no religion that God has revealed
that teaches its followers to be rough and violent to others, especially
within their own family. Therefore, parents should teach their children to
deepen their knowledge of religion and get closer to God. Examples of
practices that can be taught to children include performing the compulsory
prayers, reading the Quran, and reciting devotional words. For followers of
other religions, parents should always bring their children to religious
places of worship. Parents can also tell their children about the role
models who exemplified the value of love in their lives, even showing love
to animals. These practices will soften their hearts and calm their souls,
producing children with noble characters. These traits will become a part of
their children's nature and encourage them to behave well, always loving
their family and others. Therefore, parents play a crucial role in creating
a loving society in which everyone is respected and cared for. |
