Lead By Example

When the gift of motherhood is bestowed upon us it is usually the greatest gift of all.  However, unlike most other gifts motherhood comes with a great deal of responsibility.  The issue is that although we are blessed with such a wonderful gift we are not given any instructions on how to care for such a precious being.  We are thrown into a sensitive situation with no prior experience.  Even if you had experience babysitting or caring for children nothing can prepare  you for the job of being a mother.  As a mom I have realized that you learn as you go.  You will make plenty of mistakes but that does not mean that you are a bad parent.  You must learn from your mistakes, give your all, and always have your child’s best interest at heart.  As a parent you must understand that you are raising a human being that will onr day be a member of soceity.  Your job is not just to provide shelter, food and education for your child.  You must also teach your child how to be a good person and the best way to do that is to lead by example.  It is much easier  to just tell your child how to act, behave, and be a good person; however, it is much better to just lead by example.  Children watch everything we do so if you really want them to learn something  just do  it yourself.    I am fed up with parents putting the responsibility of being a positive role model on sports figures, actors, and entertainers.  You are your child’s first teacher so you will have a chance to teach them things before they are corrupted by the outside world.  Living a constructive life, being kind to others, and always trying to be the best person you  can be is the best lesson you can teach your child.  Just like many other things in this world actions speak louder than words when it comes to parenting.
