09/29 Extreme Moms

Quote From: fanni50

 

You have to teach your children at a very young age right from wrong and when to say OK or run.  You have to give them a reason to give you trust.  If this is done and you continue it through out their growing up years then you shouldn't have to hover. 

 

Too much hovering may cause a child to become distant and keep things from you which in return will cause a hovering mother or parent to wonder if their child can be trusted. 

 

Show them love, honer and trust.  Make sure your time with your child is quality and give some of yourself to them instead over them.

I agree with you 100%.   Kids need parents that can find the even balance to learn to be responsible.
 I forgot to mention earlier...that when I pay my son allowance I have also been teaching him to save up to a certain amount before he buys a toy.  I also don't let him spend it all at one time, well usually...unless he's worked really hard to save up like 20-30 dollars.  Sometimes I'll meet him half  way when he's saving for a game to buy.  And he's only going to be 8.  My mom taught me the value of a dollar growing up and I try to do the same w/my child. 
I may not be a perfect mom, but I certainly try really hard.  He is happy and loved and gets straight A's in school so far. 
I've gone back to college and kinda feel like I'm not giving him enough attention because of my homework load.  I am 31 and finally am getting a degree in Business.  My boyfriend supports the household for the most part, for I don't have a lot of income.  But I am hoping that I'm setting a good example for my son to teach him how important education is.  I've already started talking to him about going when he graduates..and he's 3rd grade lol!

I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH YOUR WORDS OF KNOWLEDGE...LOVE, HONOR AND TRUST YOUR CHILDREN.
ANOTHER THING THAT
I LIKED WAS GIVE
THEM "QUALITY TIME". SO MANY PARENTS TODAY ARE BOTH WORKING SO BY THE TIME THEY GET HOME, THE CHILDREN ARE
IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL ROOMS MOSTLY ON THEIR COMPUTERS OR WATCHING TV
OR ARE OFF DOING SPORTS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES.
WHEN IT COMES TO DINNER TIME,
THE FAMILY DOES
NOT SIT AT A TABLE
TO EAT TOGETHER
AND TAKE TIME TO HAVE A FAMILY DISCUSSION WHICH
MY FAMILY DOES DO
AT LEAST 5 NIGHTS A WEEK.
ANOTHER PART OF YOUR MESSAGE I
LIKED WAS "GIVE
SOME OF YOURSELF
TO THEM INSTEAD OF OVER THEM". BEING A PARENT IS SUCH A HARD JOB, BUT IT IS REWARDING THAT YOUR "CHILDREN
LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE"..IT SOUNDS YOU KEEP YOUR FAMILY WITH A STRONG BOND OF LOVE ALONG WITH ALL OF WHAT YOU SHARED OF YOUR PARENTAL WISDOM.
I AMIRE YOU...THANKS !!!!!!!
