MOTHERHOOD : How to be a Good One?

Women especially mothers are the most influential educators. They instill to us timeless wisdom, a legacy so precious and valuable. Mothers shaped our world from the cradle by nurturing and molding children to grow up to make a life changing and history- making accomplishments. For every person, there is a mother behind who fostered her child’s sensibilities to their full potential. Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else’s happiness and well being ahead of your own, to teach them hard lessons, to always do the right thing and be a child with integrity. There is no perfect way to be a good mother, each has difficulties. We all have different challenges, struggles, difficulties and certainly different children.

As a mother of two teenagers, it has never been easy raising kids and facing many challenges and struggles everyday . But those difficulties and challenges did not stop me from being a good mother to them. Why? because they both need my love, care, time and attention. We are all aware that kids nowadays have different personalities because of the influence of their group of friends. There were problems arise in their school and at home. As a mother we should learn how to cope up with this situation. We had different and many things to consider. Disciplining our child does not mean that were giving them consequences instead we will ensure them to become a responsible person. There were times that they will answer you back but we should always keep in mind that whatever problems your child is experiencing, it is not a sign that you’ve somehow failed as a parent. Instead of trying to blame yourself for the situation, we should focus on their current needs.

We should always be there for our child. Communication is very important. Sometimes the failure and the rampant cause of the suicidal attempts of teens nowadays is because they don’t have someone to talk to, nobody understands them, nobody is asking them how are they. We should always find time in our very busy schedules to sit down with them. Always let your child feel that you are always there for them so that’s the time that they will open up to us . When your child talk to you, it’s important that you listen without judging, mocking, interrupting, criticizing, or offering advice. Your child wants to feel understood and valued by you. Always praise, accept and recognize them for their efforts and participation in the family.

With these problems and challenges that tested your being a Mother we have to always do what is best for our children and let them feel that the most important thing in the world is THEM. Find some time to bond and have chitchats with them. I had every reason to be happy and contented with my life because I know im not a perfect Mom but I can claim that I am a good one because our relationship is were just like best friends they confide to me everything and anything. I had always taught them to live with integrity and have always Faith in God in every decision and action they make and be tough in every situation they will be encountering.
