QUALITY MOTHERHOOD
2. DIPS PROUDLY PRESENTS GREETINGS TO OUR RESPECTED MOTHERS BY A
SONG
3. 4. Raising a child can be very difficult. We sometimes forget
that children need to learn how to become adults from us and that
they are not little adults.
5. Being a Good Parent is GODLY
A good parent takes care of themselves as well as their children.
If a parent is not mentally/physically/spiritually healthy they
will not be able to take care of their childrens mental
physical/spiritual health.
6. A good parent accepts that they make mistakes and learns from
them.
7. A good parent appologizes when they are wrong.
8. A good parent is not a child's friend.
9. A good parent loves their child for who they are not who they
will be.
10. A good parent allows their children to be responsible for their
behavior.
11. As parents, we sometimes are quick to judge our child's actions
or choice of words, that we do not hear their cries for love,
attention, or help. We should listen to their feelings, reactions,
and opinions. Try to understand their point of view. Look at them
when they are talking to show that you are hearing their every
word. Put down that book, turn off that television, stop what you
are doing and listen!
12. We should treat our kids as our equals and not as subordinates.
The "do as I say and not as I do" mentality doesn't work. Teach
your child how to be responsible, caring, a hard worker, patient,
etc by exhibiting those characteristics within yourself. It's not
too late for you to do so.
13. It's true that many of us have to work to provide our family
with the essentials. In doing so, remember that material things
cannot substitute love and quality time from a parent. Your child
should know that they are important to you. They should not have to
compete against your job. The position and title that you hold and
your job cannot be passed on, but the love, the traditions, and
time put into your family can be carried throughout
generations
14. Respect their interests, do not down play them as mediocre.
Share in some of the activities you enjoy. Become familiar with the
current trends. It may be a little different than what you're used
to, but that doesn't mean you can't learn to at least respect
it.
15. Love your child no matter what. Never allow them to have a
doubt in their minds of your love for them. At times they may
disappoint you, anger you, or even disrespect you, but even during
those times they should know that they are loved by you. No one is
perfect, we've all made mistakes and will continue to. Shower those
imperfections with love.
16. Thanks for being a
proud DIPS Mother
