Amish Baby Cribs – Start a Family Tradition
Family is one of the core concepts and essentials of the Amish community. It is part of the belief that the hearts of the family are connected as are all hearts connected to God. This means that each child is a treasured gift from God and it is not uncommon for there to be seven or more children in a generation. Families are close and as a result fathers often work either on family farms or in shops that are close to home while the mother stays home providing for the house and the children. This allows the families to spend quality time together through both work and play activities and provides parents with a way to show their children through example the ways and skills that are needed in life. When a new child comes into the world it is a time of rejoicing and celebration and a crib is built for the child. It is built with care either by the father of the child, other relative or by someone close to the family within the community.
