Sometimes I fail but tomorrow is another day. That is so true. We are only human. We can just do the best that we can. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. So take the time for you. Read a book, soak in the tub, exercise, get a pedicure. Whatever it is that will make you feel better and come back refreshed do that so you can keep being a good mom.
Kids may not remember the elaborate lengths you went through to throw them the perfect birthday party. But they will remember that one small special gift you bought or that special mommy and I date to the ice cream store.
Just realize that knowing what interests your child has will give you an insight into him that you never would be able to have otherwise, even if you try to spark a conversation with him. No matter if you are busy if your kids start talking to you especially those teenagers listen. This is when they might need you the very most. Establish good communication early with your kids so that when parenting them gets more difficult you have years of practice of communicating with them.
Every child needs to feel important, and one of the best ways to make your children important is to spend time with each of them individually. Sure, family time is important, but make sure that you have some time set aside for each child, and use this time to communicate and learn about their interests. As we set reasonable expectations moms are happier, are less stressed and life seems to go smoother for everyone in the family.
Often we feel like we have to be Super Mom, wear boots and a cape, and fly around and do everything. We think we have to have a perfectly clean house all the time, help our kids with their homework, research and deliver a presentation that wows our client over the dinner hour and still have a hot, homemade meal on the dinner table at home.
Just focus on your work presentation and help your kids do homework afterward over a late dinner from the local takeout. Kids are bound to need discipline in their lives. Good moms take each situation and assign a punishment based on the crime. If kids are old enough let them help asses reasonable punishments.
If the child is too young to understand this, make sure that the punishment is directly related to what she did. No parent should ever run around behind their child fixing all of their mistakes. If his girlfriend breaks up with him because he spent too much time playing video games and not enough time with her, let him figure out on his own what he did wrong. He will never learn how to live life and fix problems himself if mom is always there to make corrections.
You only have to believe that you are. My kids are older now, but I still enjoy reading everythingmom. My best advice is to trust your instincts. You know your child best! I love it. They told it like it is -- here is what makes us awesome. Always offering your love. Gives lots of hugs. Trying to see things from your kid's point of view. Asking their opinion whenever it's possible or appropriate. And then more patience on top of that. Setting boundaries, lest you end up with little monsters who walk all over you.
Giving unconditional love. Having one on one time with each kid. If you have one child, making sure you have solo time with that child, too. Learning that discipline is a good thing -- gentle non violent discipline.
When you say no, mean it. That way, you're not raising brats. When you bring a new life into the world, they should be your top priority, and know it. It's a great way to raise up a strong, self-assured, confident person.
