"Mother You are Fantabulous" --- Mothering in my Mother's View....
I always wanted to start a blog of my own but was pretty unclear with what to write in it. But my passion towards writing made me frame this first blog post. I always wanted to make it special and so I am penning down about the most amazing person in my and of course in any individual's life, and that is none other than MOTHER.
Right from the moment we look into her eyes we start loving her and living her life. And so she does the same, practically even more, by showering her unconditional love and succeeds in transforming us into lovable and respectable citizens our society needs. She finds out all the means to comfort us, holds an open and a loving relationship with us and enjoys Motherhood, which she believes is her life's greatest gift.
She regrows with us, remains our best buddy, cheers us when we are low, corrects us when we are wrong, and shares our pain and showers on us, pleasure through her unconditional love.
There are several such glorified mothers in our society, who faced the hardest challenge of bringing up their kids with all their heart and soul. There are more young mothers doing the same job today and so to all those incredible women out there, let me share some part of my mother's views in facing the mothering challenge of chiseling out your children in to creditable citizens.
Don't Fear it Simply Face it: Fear is healthy but unwanted fear can drag you to the bottom line. So try and remove the fear factor from your children. Make your young ones believe in them by building up their confidence levels. Make them strong enough to face all the challenges that walk their way.
Know their interests and teach them Values Irrespective of your busy life style spare some time and speak to your child. Let them speak to you, listen with patience and know their interests. Make them understand the rich human values and aid them to lead a cultured life.
Never loose the Balance: Balancing things in life is pretty important and one should learn how accomplish it. Train your children not to loose their cool and at the same time ask them not to loose their self. Teach them how to balance every element in their life and advice them to continue doing it to enjoy a happy life.
Insist on the 'Me' factor: Teach them not to loose their own self. Inculcate the feeling of individuality in your children and insist on the 'ME' factor. Let them fight to earn their identity and then teach them how to carry it.
Value their Thoughts: Never ignore the thoughts and ideas of your children. Even if they are younger than you, consider their ideas and value their feelings. Correct their thought process but do not meddle with it.
Disciplined living and a Career: Develop a disciplined lifestyle to your children. Irrespective of the gender, help your child focus on their career. Explain them the importance of balanced and disciplined life and help them in the process of building it.
Whatever the fact is every mother loves their children to the bits of their lives, but remember a well cultured child will be cherished by the society as a whole. So let us hope all the young mothers today do their part to build the promising future of a nation.
Absolutely great read Sowmya ,being a Mother myself I can relate to lot of things you said ,I particularly believe in letting your child the way he is , never try to meddle with his individualistic expression coz that's what makes him unique.Keep up the good work !

DeleteMother the word itself brings tears in my eyes. Mother is everything in our lives as you rightly said the unconditional love and affection that she gives can not be expected from any one in our life. In my view poor are the people who lost their mother. Wonderful write up somulu. Proud of you. I like the passion you have in all aspects of life. God bless you.....
