I have had a wonderful month with you all and I have come to the last part of this series. I hope you have been able to practice these tips in your home and with your children. February has been interesting for me and I hope you all had a good month too. Let’s conclude this series by finishing with the tips I have written below :
Know when to let go: try not to be what I call ‘helicopter parents’. Give them wings and allow them to fly. It can be a problem if you don’t let your children do what they are supposed to do as they grow up. We know that there is no other love that compares to the love a mother or father has for their child but overcoming your anxiety and letting them do things they are supposed to do at their age, and as they grow, will renew your relationship with your child which will be about admiration, respect and celebration as they become young adults.
Give them wings and let them fly.
Choose your battles with your children: Know when to back off but how do you know which battles to pick and which ones to let go? There are situations when you need to stand your ground and sometimes you need to decide if its worth making any noise over. You don’t want your children feeling anxious around you.. However, know how to resolve an issue with your child without creating additional frustration.
“The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice. Speak carefully” ….Peggy O’Mara
Our children are the future. Lets surround them with love, happiness and encouragement so they have the confidence to reach their goals. We are their rock and lets give the best of ourselves.
