Why Do Most Mothers Not Connect With Their Children? Shouldn't They? by Mamagidi(f): 4:59pm On Jul 08, 2014


IT'S VERY EASY to plead ‘busy‘ nowadays. Why? Because we’re ACTUALLY busy! But mum, amidst all the schedules and activities, there are some things that should NOT be sacrificed. After all, no one on their deathbed ever wished they’d spent more time at the office. Your children -no doubt- should be top priority for you. Here’s a list of some words that your kid needs to hear from you, especially when they’re still growing and need a lot of guidance.

Life is meant to be enjoyed. The less time your kids waste with activities and disciplines that bring them little joy, the better. Life means little when it has no joy in it.

It’s time to start using deodorant. Your kid needs coaching about everything it means to be a grown-up, including hygiene, periods, body hair and sex.

Thank you. Let your child know you appreciate her strengths, weaknesses and existence. Every child needs a parent who is grateful he or she is alive.

Try to stick this out. Children learn perseverance by holding steady through discomfort and confusion. They need someone to tell them that the present challenge will pass.

Sometimes, it’s OK to quit. Occasionally, calling it quits is the best way to salvage a terrible situation and refocus on the priorities that actually bring joy.

I’m sorry. You’ll never nail this parenting thing perfectly. Humility, however, can restore the relationship when you get something wrong.

You can do this. Remain in your child’s corner, no matter what he or she is up against. They can do this (no matter what “this” is) as long as you stand with them.

If you can’t do this, it’s OK. Ultimately, though, pursuing any goal is your child’s choice. Give him or her freedom to make decisions about whether a goal is a worthy effort.
