You aren't a mother until you have an evidence to prove. But do you know that you prepare for motherhood even before you have an offspring. A mother isn't she who embarks on the 9 months journey but she that did this and after then, take up the responsibility of the reason for the journey. She who gives birth to a child and throws it away is just a surrogate mother.
Education they say it begins at home. These are some of the things that you need to do to be a super and an award winning Mother
Be spiritual:
You need to walk perfectly in the spiritual realm to be a good mother. Pray for the safe arrival of the baby and stand in gap to fight its future battles. Once He arrives teach Him God's ways. Let Him know there is a supernatural God who created him/her. Believe me if we can all do this, the society will be a more comfortable place.
Teach moral:
You must take your place in the place of moral. You need to pass across the moral of the society. Teach him to never look down on anyone irrespective of their status. Teach him never to lie. Let him know taking any body's possession even yours without permission is stealing. The Bible says train up a child in the way he should go when he is old he would never depart from it " you know better than them, ' spare the rod spoil the child.' So use it when need be. That doesn't warrant treatment Him like a rejected Animal.
Take care of their needs:
What gives every parent the deserved respect is the fact that he or she is a provider. Make sure you meet the needs of your children. This will give you the authority you need to act out these roles. Whoever feeds you is a boss so is our parent to us. Even before your children ask let them know they run through your thoughts. They are our first priorities. Nevertheless, let them know life is not a bed of roses. You can't have everything always.
Sex education:
Most Mom missed this part, since your children spend more time with you than their fathers, then you need to put shyness apart and impart in them the necessary sexual knowledge. The world is fast growing, don't be surprised if a 5 year old child is says the word sex. If you don't, somebody would and believe me the outside SEX teacher would start with practical. It doesn't always end well if taught outside. Be their confidant and best friend.
You aren't a good mother until your children i.e your evidence of motherhood can stand out in any situation and are acceptable by the society. You can be different in this role. Prepare for your old age right from now. Be a super mom before they come.
Pls take care of their needs, their academics is important. Let them know they aren't dullards. The are born great, encourage them to strive better always.
