Just a little reminder to stay positive can go a long way
Parenting is tough and we all agree with this thing. Keeping the kids engaged along with managing work is sometimes tricky for the parents. Remember that kids are also humans. They are not growing in a normal environment. Respect their feelings and don’t be harsh on them. Some of the reminders that you might need today are:
- We punish our child instead of taking responsibility for our anger and restoring ourselves to a state of calmness. Punishing our child discharges our frustration and worry, and makes us feel better.
- Parents are not perfect, nor they are saints. All mothers and fathers make mistakes over time. How they handle these situations will going to be an important lesson for your children.
- Remember when you have one call after another and your little one is tugging on your shirt, remember what matters. When the milk is splattered on the floor and those little eyes are looking into your eyes for a reaction, remember what matters. It takes 5 minutes to clean up the spilled milk, it takes much longer to clean up a broken spirit.
- Bad days are a part of any relationship-building process, and they will occur with anyone you are spending your time with. Remembering that will help you use your bad days to embrace everyone’s humanity. Ultimately this strengthens your relationship, one apology and one story at a time.
- Just like us, children also have bad days. Days when they’re not feeling well, days when they are tired, lose their temper or are emotional for no reason. This doesn’t make them bad, this makes them human.
