Motherhood is a crucial task. Almost everyone in this world expects a mother to be perfect. The downfall of a mom is almost equivalent to the failure of the children and the home. It is very important for all mothers to try to perform their roles with love, sacrifice, dignity and respect. This is because they are the source of inspiration for the spouse and the children including the people around them.

It is indeed not an easy task to become a mother. However, the following list would help in easing out the hassles of achieving motherhood perfection:

▪ Patience is a virtue. Moms should be patient in dealing with children. If patience is gone, everything will turn out chaotic and disorganized. It will also be very hard to deal with stress if tolerance is lacking.

▪ Learn how to budget. Being too tight or too lax with money could have a great impact on family management. Mothers who know how to budget could have the biggest chance to provide all that’s best for them according to the family’s lifestyle.

▪ Show interest to children and husband’s inclinations. Sports are indispensable in the family. Joining or participating or just plainly becoming a spectator would boost the child’s esteem in excelling in their fields of endeavor. If you see your child inclined to the arts, you can just at least surprise him with a new set of crayons or drawing pad. This way, he will realize that you are there to support him in his interest.

▪ Be supportive. The mere act of preparing what your child needs in school is already a clear sign of support. Knowing that you are behind them will make them pursue higher goals.

▪ Be approachable. Talk to your children if possible. Small chats would let them open up their fears and hesitations. If your child knows that you are a good listener, it will not be difficult for them to share his thoughts and feelings with you. This way, he would not turn to others for comfort.

▪ Be fair. Don’t show favorites even if one child is better than the other.

▪ Instill privacy. Although you are an authority at home, you must understand that children also need time to be alone. Privacy is inherent to anyone even to a young child. When you think that you already know some of his secrets, refrain from laughing at them or subjecting them to family ridicule. If this happens, they would create that dividing wall isolating them from the family.

▪ Respect freedom but create boundaries. For instance, your child must have the freedom to choose his friends but he should know some limitations with regards peers and relationships. Curfews are supposed to be emphasized.

Motherhood is an easy venture for any woman who has the heart that loves and cares unconditionally. Every mom should understand that in her hands lay the goodness of a home and the wellness of a family.
