WE, as Parents – CC

We, as parents, are so blessed to be granted by God to become parents and so it is just right that we take this role the best way we can. We are not perfect and we can never be, but striving to be enough for our kid/s is something that’s NOT easy peasy. No matter how hard we try to make it as straight-forward as we can, it will always be complicated, though possible.

We, as parents, try to be called as our “kid’s bestfriends”. As of now, it’s easy because our daughter is only 4 years old and she knows that only Mum and Dad will be there for her at all times. But kids do grow really fast and as they do, they are being welcomed by the wider world where it’s not only Mum and Dad, but there are actually a lot more. So to maintain the relationship as bestriends, everyday we try to go down to his age and understand her world. The only thing we don’t do is sit with her and play with her toys, but when it’s pretend phone calling, we do exchange conversation and that’s a good way for us to know how she thinks and how she communicates.

We, as parents, try to balance play vs. rules. We make sure that our daughter grows to become comfortable with us and at the same time, she also knows how to follow us. I am not a strict mom, not even my hubby. But we always make sure that our daughter knows how to distinguish right fromwrong. So far, I would want to believe that we’re on the right path because we are not growing a spoiled brat. At her age, she knows her limits and she lives a low-profile life. She’s not into having so much, in fact she always say, “No Mum, I already have enough.” when it comes to children’s addiction – toys.

We, as parents, will try our best to be the best for our kid/s.

We, as parents, will make sure that we have one goal and one way of rearing our child/ren.

We, as parents, will just enjoy this blessing and seek guidance from the Giver that may we triumph this battle of raising responsible and God fearing child/ren.
