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 all do, the world judges us in ways that fit its standard and so if we let the world set the standard, we're all trapped and limited to become the kind of parent we're designed to be...

We can only learn from other's ways...but we have to remain keeping our own style. Even if we have the entire internet at our disposal, we're not told to follow any single authority from there...rather, we keep our own, and not lose ourselves in the process.

Each parent is created too, for a unique purpose and design. We not only help mold our child to becoming better individual, we too are being molded for this role. 

However unique we are from each other, our baseline is...we need to be consistent and firm at loving our child, always...with or without social media calibrating its irrelevant expectations.

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

Kids Live in the Moment

Kids are amazingly adept at living in the moment. They keep their eyes open for organic opportunities to stop...so they can see and take it all in and of course, be curious and appreciate the wonder. They see situations unfold. They engage in activities and formulate judgments in real time. They're filled with experiences rich with happiness and fun. They manifest what adults now consider as buzzword - "mindfulness". Kids do have that. "Buti pa sila... kaya marami nagsasabi talaga na masaya ang maging bata." Back then, mindfulness was also our way of life... right now, we already got conditioned to moving through life at an increasingly rapid pace kaya minsan nakakalimutan na talaga mag suklay. Uhhhmmm... puro tayo zoom meetings... works come in and form unidentifiable shapes because they're all what we have...from home to work and even from doing work from home. How we, adults wish... we could have extended walks with our inner child everyday and always ...

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 re...
