PARENTING: IT'S CHALLENGES AND REWARDS

             

We do hear that parenting is hard, that we will make a lot of mistakes along the way and that Everything will eventually be alright no matter what.

  Is the last sentence really true, will Everything be alright no matter what?.....Maybe.

  Parenting is as important as the genes we're born with, parenting can determine whether everything will be alright in many cases.

  "So I met this lady over the weekend, and she couldn't stress enough the challenges and changes she's experienced Since she joined motherhood; the Stress of taking care of her little one alone, the midnight screams, lack of sleep, pains all over her body and how she's gradually losing her mind!"

  This seems to be the norm for every new parent, it seems to bring so much depression and Stress...BUT, (yes there's a but), Every time you look at your little one and he/she smiles back, your pains and stress melts away, When you see your child and imagine a future, where you have someone who can love you and care for you all your life unconditionally, it makes the whole process worth it., If u raise a helping child,(one who loves to help out) you find it's no longer as stressful as it was and you actually have support and help at all times, also helping your child in turn.

The rewards of parenting are countless, it ranges from seeing the world through the eyes of a child, you feel young again and imagine things like them, the feeling of being needed is Wonderful and Satisfying.
 The bond you share with your child is likely to bring you great joy, it may not be unconditional at times especially during the teenage years, but for the most part is a love like no other..
 Although parenting brings challenges and disappointments, its also brings Optimism, giggles, liveliness and energy into your home, as well as a sense of satisfaction and most importantly Love.

It's a lifetime Journey like I always say, and we learn everyday, the challenges won't go away but you will learn to manage them and enjoy your children's company in time.

There is no perfect parent anywhere, just focus on being the parent your child needs!

SIBLING'S BOND

 
      The connection is hard to describe in a single word, the Sibling relationship is life's longest lasting relationship, It last longer than our relationship with our children, longer than a spouse and with the exception of few lucky men and women longer than a bestfriend...

    Being around for a while makes you understand that being Siblings and friends are two different relation -ships....no wonder some siblings can fight for everything and wants what the next person has...
    We can be sisters and still not be as close as a friend, its a constant struggle between both parents wih the children, both siblings struggle daily to form that closeness and alliance between themselves.

 
     This journey is what my blog will insight, teach and help both parents and siblings to form that bond in their day to day Interactions and help our children become best friends, for Siblings to enjoy the comfort felt when you sit in the same room with your brother and Sister, in pure silence, yet you both know how the other is feeling, it's picking up right where you left off, even if it's being weeks, months, or years since the last deep conversation. it's the knowledge that, at the end of the day you'll always be able to call on that person for support.

           
 
    Having a friend is a choice but we all know we cannot choose our family, how can we make our family become a choice if given, we'll choose again? Its going to be a great ride as I discuss and handle situations that would normally drift the family apart... but instead we'll make the most of it here.
    Steps to ensure your children value, love and respect each other, I myself am passionate about this, parenting is a course that takes a lifetime and we must be open to learn everyday.
       A happy family makes a happy you.
