I gave (or tried to give) them space; love; common sense, silliness and a sense of wonder; music; books; opportunities to follow their interests and dreams and succeed (or not); the ability to access resources and learn from everyone; and I'm blessed with a light touch.
Now working on the sequel: grandkids.

I keep on trying. I keep on learning. And I'm ok with being wrong.

I like this thread. I try to be very conscious of my baby's needs, and try to read his signals so I can give him what he needs before it becomes urgent.
He loves to play and learn, so I think of creative games and activities to do with him. I let my joyful side come out, and never forget how happy I am to be his mommy.

I am an attuned mother. I validate my childrens feelings and needs. I let them be independent and do things on their own.

I am a stay at home mom and practice attachment parenting when they are young. Also they almost never watch videos and never play computer games (they are under ten yrs of age) and this is great for their creativity and concentration.
I take their learning seriously and bring them to school almost always on time.
I also have areas where I struggle but thats not for this beautiful thread

Part of good parenting is to be able to admit to yourself and to your children that you are human and you can make mistakes.

I work on myself not to be abusive or hurtful or nervous at them all the time like my mom was by being in therapy and giving myself time outs. And if I do lose my cool I apologize.

Because I deeply love my children and connect to them in a real way.
And because I work on getting the best out of myself in my personal life.
And because I work on my marriage constantly.... And that's probably the best thing I can give them!

I am not sure I am a great mother and tend to judge how I am doing by comparing myself to others. All I know though is I love my children deeply, do the best I can to nourish their self esteem, I ache when they are sad and rejoice when they are happy. I do my best to be patient. I hug and kiss them daily. They are babies so it is probably easier (3.5yr old and an 11month old.)
