12 TIPS TO BE A BETTER MOM

As a mom, I know there is no perfect mother. So don't look for an excellent rating, let alone try to impress others with supermom capabilities.

The point is to raise with love since that little life depends on the protection that you give it. The good thing is that the tips we have for you are not super complicated. In fact, it's more about committing yourself to do or not doing things that will make you a better mom. Simple things like laughing more and putting the competition aside.

Here I share these 10 promises you must make to be a better mother.

1/12

I will give up being a supermom.

I know you can do a thousand things at once, however, you must accept that you have no supernatural powers. Exhaustion will be your worst enemy because your energy may be insufficient to savor the moments that are worth your time with your children.

12/12

I will give up the competition.

Competition is very tempting since flattery can lead to addiction; however, criticism causes terror. What does it matter if your son got seven and your friend's son got 10? Forget about filling your ego through your children.

12/3

I will laugh a lot with them.

Break the tension, smile at them from time to time, tell them a joke, tickle, shake their bodies if they are bored, sing together, and dance once in a while. I assure you that they will not forget those moments, and they will become a treasure for everyone.

4/12

I will enjoy the time I spend with them

Your presence is useless if your mind is elsewhere. Enjoy every moment because, with the passage of time, you will realize that everything is unrepeatable and incomparable.

12/5

I will learn to put myself in her place.

Make empathy a healthy habit. Remember that children do not have the experience you have, and their world of ideas is very different from yours. Understand them from their place. Then, go back to yours to find out how to act.

6/12

I will allow you to be wrong.

Stop overprotecting him, and give him the confidence he needs to believe in himself. Give her the opportunity to experience failure from time to time, and you will notice that this will strengthen her ability to find optimal solutions to any challenge.

12/7

I will set limits when necessary.

Think about the long-term positive effects, among these, that you will not need to be present all the time for your child to choose appropriate actions.

12/8

I will be willing to give up certain things.

Watch how you divide your time throughout the day. Learn to prioritize the issues that you need to resolve immediately, and distribute the non-urgent ones to the rest of the week. You must save energy to live with your children.

12/9

I will teach you to be independent

Let go of the control, and trust the ability of your children to carry out the tasks that are already appropriate for their age and level of understanding. Forget about perfectionism, and make your way easier by letting it explore it with your support, albeit by itself.

12/10

I will learn to listen to it.

Give them the benefit of being heard, and pay attention to what they tell you and how they say it to you. That will give you clues to the reality of their emotions, and you will know how to act accordingly.

12/11

I will respect its essence.

Your son is not here to meet your expectations, he is in his own search. Strengthening their identity depends largely on the respect you have for their essence. Set limits, but let it be.

12/12

I will be happy.

Find your spaces, find a moment for yourself, and –even though the weather is not as vast as you would like–, give yourself the opportunity to do what you like.
