Parenthood is a great gift that thrives with love.
Although there are no perfect parents or perfect kids, making positive
decisions can guide your way to a happier living with your family. It all begins
by committing yourself to your child. Revisiting your commitment daily will
create a healthy cycle. It’s good to rise when you fall and stay focused on
your commitment. Making small positive changes everyday will also improve the
relationship between you and your kids.
There are quite a number of commitments that you can
adhere to if you want to be a loving parent. First and important is to be a
good role model. You can achieve this by showing respect to your kids, honesty
and compassion. You should lead by example by showing attitudes that you want
your kids to achieve from an early age. As a parent, remember to take care of
yourself by eating healthy and going to bed early. This will maintain a healthy
mood therefore making it easier to communicate with your child without anger.
These and other habits should also be extended to your kids.
A loving parent should always be clear if understanding
and trust is to adhere between him or her and the kids. Using simple
explanations and words that kids will understand is good. Speaking to your kids
when you are not angry is good. This is a respectful way of addressing your
kids which they will learn from you. Taking matters personal only worsen the situation.
If emotions are kept away, kids will listen to your calm voice more than a
raised tone which issues commands. Love should also be seen by limiting the
number of rules. A few rules are however good and if they are made, it is good
to ensure kids stick to them and eventually, you won’t have to follow them
around.
As a good parent, show love to your kids by appreciating
them when they perform well not only in school but also in house chores and
other good activities they engage in. If kids are praised rather than
criticized, they will work even harder to improve. If you often criticize your kids
for poor performance or mistakes they do, it only makes them hard headed.
Praising kids for good behavior encourages them to be better adults and the
trait will be carried on to their own families.
Staying connected to your kids is a great way of
demonstrating love and security. Since you will be separated from your kids when
you are at work and them being in school, it is important to spare some time
with them. Little ones will love you if you hug them in the morning before you
part. After reuniting later after school and work, you can spend some quality
time with the kids. Take advantage of this time and listen to your kids, sympathize
with them and play with them. Such a relationship will bring you closer and
closer to your kids which natures discipline and trust in the long run. Taking
dinner together, chatting and even snuggling at bedtime with your child is also
healthy.
To become a more loving and inspiring parent, it’s good
to lead by example. If you envision what life you will have in your family,
then you should be more encouraged to work even harder to love your kids and
make them better persons when they grow up. By committing yourself to all the traits
of love, you will notice how much your kids are happier and even cooperative.
Always remember to manage yourself well if you wish to transform your family.
