TRUSTING YOURSELF TO BE A GOOD PARENT!
Being a parent is the toughest thing in the world. And as my children grow older I realise it gets tougher each day with promise of even tougher times ahead. When they were babies, completely dependent on us, their parents, physically and emotionally, I couldn't wait for them to grow up. But as my parents ( of a 45 and 44 year old) have realised over the years parenting and its responsibilities never ever come to an end. As a parent my primary responsibility is to teach them the ways of life, teach them how to be safe, teach them to be street smart in today's world, and teach them how to look after themselves, to be independent and to be responsible humans. As a parent another thing I have had to do is to question myself constantly. Am I setting the correct example? Am I passing on good values and principles to them, which well let's face it are different for each of us? Am I able to answer all their questions satisfactorily and clear all their doubts?
