I am quite sure God who said and the man who wrote this scripture wasn't missing a word when it wrote And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Kids like scripture say are gifts from God and as such, they are exceptional with overwhelming characteristics and that was why we all have seen in the above scripture that for one to be able to enter heaven, one has to change and become like the kids it shows the exceptional character they carry.
The same goes for parents, when one gets to the stage of parenting, both will begin to portray or exhibit most characters they never thought they had but because they are in their parenting stage, they develop those characters and that is what makes them parents.
The kid stage and parenting stage is a once-in-life stage and they are very crucial stages, that if not handled will rob the kids of those moments they are supposed to experience as well as the parents.
First, I will be writing the "5 Amazing Things About Kids"

I realized that every kid has this characteristic no matter their temperament later in life, they are always high-spirited. They are very active and overactive most times becoming a pain in the ass to their parents. They want to do everything and touch everything they come in contact with.
Want to be friends with everyone. This is one thing we as adults miss, we select our group of friends and people we talk to, but kids don't, they love to talk to everyone and want to be friends with everyone.
They don't hold grudges, it is very disheartening to see parents fight each other because of their kids because, at the end of the day, those kids will still go back to meet each other, play with each other and still become best of friends like nothing ever happened. They don't have space in their heart to hold grudges against one another.
They love to be appreciated. Kids would do anything you say as long as they are appreciated by gifts like (chocolate, ice cream, sweets, biscuit) or by our words and gestures. They don't mind staying still as long as you promise to buy them their favorites. The smile that creeps into their faces is always priceless when one does that.
They always want to become adults even when they know they are still kids. I have encountered many times kids telling their parents that they are big boys and girls and can take care of themselves. They want to prove to their parents they are no longer kids and shouldn't be treated as one meanwhile, in the real sense, they are nothing but kids. They want to bathe, brush, clean their body, eat their food, rub their creams all by themselves meanwhile, they can not do these things by themselves or perfectly. They would even cry to show that they don't want you helping them do this stuff, they want to take responsibility for themselves but would always come back to ask for your help at the end of the day.
Now to the second question, "5 Amazing Things About Parenting"

I have never gotten to the stage of parenting or maybe I have and never realized it but here are the five amazing things about parenting.
They become protective
Once one gets to that stage, they become protective of their little ones and wouldn't mind hurting anyone who tries to hurt their little kids.Parents tend to love their kids unconditionally and wouldn't mind showering their love to their kids no matter how stubborn the kid is. Right from birth, their love begins to blossom that even the mother who can't expose her boobs in public wouldn't mind doing that as long as it makes her baby happy.
You automatically become a teacher
There is truth in the phrase that says, "Parents are their kid's first teacher". Once you begin to have kids, you become their teacher because they will ask you questions and most times silly, weird, funny, and hilarious questions about things and people. You've got no option than to give them an answer, the answer that will take away their curiosity and in every attempt to answer them, you become a teacher. So automatically, you become a teacher once you get to that stage.
- You automatically become their playmate or buddy
Kids can play with anything and anywhere. They love to play and parents are their kid's first playmates or buddies. Like you learn how to play every kid's game, you learn how to sing every lullaby or kid's song, you learn how to make fun or make them happy at all times and that automatically comes once you are a parent.
- Sacrifice
In all, this is what summaries the role of parenting. Sacrifice. They sacrifice their finances, dreams, lives just to make their kids happy. They would not mind going hungry just to make sure their kids have something to eat or going hungry to send their kids to school. They don't mind the sacrifice as long as their kids are comfortable and in good health.
There are thousands of amazing things about kids and parenting because it is always the happiest moment for parents and a moment that shapes and directs kids into their teenage and adulthood. Moments that are captured in the heart and best stored there than in pictures.
