A Naming Ceremony is a very special way of celebrating the birth of your child and welcoming the new arrival into the family and the wider community. It is also ideally suited to welcome and celebrate an adoptive child into the family or to embrace stepchildren into a new family.
It's also an opportunity to declare before family and friends, your promises to be as good a parent as you can, and for friends or relatives to confirm their special relationship with your child.
Married or unmarried couples, single parents, gay parents. Ceremonies may be held at a location of the parents choosing. In your home, a park, a hotel, etc.
A beautiful naming Ceremony in your home surrounded by family and friends is a wonderful experience.
A CHILD LEARNS WHAT HE LIVES
By Dorothy Law Nolte.
If a child lives with criticism
he learns to condemn.
If a child lives with hostility
he learns to fight.
If a child lives with ridicule
he learns to be shy.
If a child lives with shame
he learns to feel guilt.
BUT,
If a child lives with tolerance
he learns to be patient.
If a child lives with encouragement
he learns confidence.
If a child lives with fairness
he learns justice.
If a child lives with security
he learns to have faith.
If a child lives with approval
he learns to like himself.
If a child lives with acceptance and friendship
he learns to find love in the world.
