Time with Kids, an Intangible Gift

"When in doubt, choose the kids. There will be plenty of time later to choose work." - Anna Quindlen

This struck my heart a hundred times and made me ponder on my schedules and commitments... how long do I get time spent with my only child?

These I realized...

If you are a parent, your kids will help you determine your life goals. They will help you decide what work to do. They will help you determine time for other specifics and of course because you love your kids, you give them your all...they are your priority.

*my personal viewpoint

*I'm not a seasoned parent...'still young in this but I understand how much it means for kids to have their parents' undivided times, to be spent with them...because while I was becoming an adult, personally, time mattered most to me than any tangible gift. 

*I am so much into this, because this moves me...

"if we want a better society, we ought to make our parenting better"

...as parents, we can't have teachers replace our roles even if they are truly at their best to be our children's heroes in life...we need so much grace to fulfill our roles...we have our own misgivings and set of limitations which become factors for our parenting excuses...grace after grace so we can do better for our kids.

Grace...this will help us do the seemingly impossible ones for our kids.

Parenting is a Gifted Role

When you see your child growing, as a parent, you leverage your parenting in such a way that there will be more changed beliefs and attitudes on your part... and sometimes even when you feel hesitant to give up scolding, you still feel like doing so... then, after a minute... you find yourself charged with extra batteries of patience and begin to learn positive reinforcement, instead... you talk slower, gentler, kinder...and you see how your happy mood eventually changed your child's annoying behavior. Parenting has changed overtime...and I felt that... It's been changing me too since I realized there's a li'l boy needing a mom-friend, a mom-teacher in one. Every parent's guide to great parenting is no more than his/her own built-in abilities challenged to be re-built both in happy and annoying ways... We own our parenting and have different stories that test us through and through... no perfect ones... but I suppose all parents strive to becoming one...while we a

Unfolding Realities of Parenting

No parent is always conscious and gentle, positive and peaceful...at all times. ...and I understand it takes practice to be conscious and gentle, positive and peaceful at all times. Under all the conditioning, whether trauma or shame, social standard or other people's expectations, You are the parent you aspire to be. Never doubt yourself. Only accept the role and be grateful for being chosen to be part of your child's inward-out molding. No matter what the world says, claim your sovereignty as a parent. You are not alone in this journey. Don't get drained. Gods grace holds you. Whether you parent with a spouse or alone, God's grace holds you. #sidedishesofaparenting #positiveparenting #intentionalparenting
