As a Mom it is your responsibility to make sure that your child knows their self worth. I grew up in a household where I was never told that I was loved, that someone was proud of me or that I could be anything in the world that my heart desired. Although I felt unloved and all alone in a house full of people there was something deep within me that knew that I was special and that I deserved more. When I became a Mom myself I knew that I would not repeat the same cycle with my own child.
I love you. Three little words that hold power in there meaning. Everyone wants to feel loved and as parents it is one of the most basic needs that we can fulfill for our kids. The love that one gets from their parents is love in the purest form and it is the roadmap for how your child learns to give and receive love for the rest of their lives. On a daily basis from the day that she was born I made sure to tell my daughter how much I love her and I still do to this day.
I’m proud of you. Our kids faced hardships that we never imagined when we were growing up. The Internet is basically raising some kids today so I believe that children need to hear that we are proud of them for making good choices. Telling your child that you are proud of them gives them a sense of self worth that no one can ever take away from them. No matter how young or old your child is one of their basic goals in life in to make their parents proud and it is important that we let them know that they succeeded.
You can do and be anything that your heart desires. That statement will open a world of possibilities for your child. It not only lets them know that you love them and are proud of them but it also lets them know that you believe in them.
Children are not asked to be brought into this world; we as parents make that decision. It is vital that they be given every opportunity to live life to the fullest. The world is such a scary place and it is filled with uncertainty. It is imperative that as parents we give our children all of the support that we can.
