"You know, you are a fabulous parent!!" "You sure are a wonderful mother/father" "Wow! Your kids are so well adjusted!"
Wouldn't
it be nice to hear these things once in awhile?
The truth is, despite
all the bad news making headlines, most of us are doing a wonderful job
parenting our kids.
Here are 10 things you are doing every day that prove this:
1. You hug and kiss your little one
2. You feed them and clothe them and occasionally make them eat vegetables
3. You sing them songs and give them baths at night.
4. You look at your child playing and smile -- sometimes they see you, sometimes they just feel you.
5. You try and be a good parent, even when you're exhausted, cranky, and tired.
6. You love them unconditionally, even when you don't like them very much.
7. You read them books.
8. You hold them when they're scared.
9. You want them to have a good, happy life.
10. You give them everything you think they need.
See? Don't believe the hype. You're doing a wonderful job!
