I’ve been asked to think about what the last thing my child needed. Well, I do have three young children and they are always needing things. Generally, it’s food, or comfort or just attention. It’s only natural to want to provide for your child and give them whatever they need to grow into adults and find their way in the world.
In Lidita, Ethiopia, the children had to go to work to support their families.There was poor sanitation and lots of disease. Now, there are schools well equipped and the children can stay at school while the parents have been helped to set up business and sanitation has been improved. With lots of thanks to World Vision.
But the time when I know my children really need me is when they wake at night, maybe after a bad dream or feeling unwell. No matter how big they get still need a cuddle and reassurance that everything is going to be okay. All through life they will be my children and I will be there to support and love them unconditionally. We are so lucky we live in a world where there is peace and understanding. Were there are droughts or violence and war. Where we have clean water and bathrooms and food on the table. Even when times get rough with illness or money worries, we cannot compare to the suffering of other’s in Third World or war torn countries.
We spend a lot caring for our children’s needs but could we also go a little further and Sponsor a Child With World Vision.

Sometimes we get to into it and we forget how to play which was important. Of course our number one goal is speech. We have 2 sensory seekers. I can constantly being touched pushed into touched. It’s hard when my mouth put everything in his mouth.
