Something that I have been thinking about a lot this past week after our discussions was about why it is a good thing that there are young parents verses being raised by your grandparents. With younger parents they have more energy first of all which is a good thing for both the parents and the children. Although they may not have as many life experiences as an adult this is a great opportunity for them to learn and strengthen their own marriage. There a lot of benefits for the parents because they are able to learn as they go and become better parents with time, patience, and practice.
Thinking to my own parents they were both very young to be parents. My mother was 20 almost 21 when she had her first child and my dad was about 23. I can't even imagine being that young as a parent! But everyday I am grateful that they were young parents because they were able to be very involved in my life, which has made a huge difference in my life.
