FOREWORD
The practice of positive motherhood is a useful strategy for raising kids and fostering healthy interactions with them. In order for our children to enjoy long, fulfilling lives, we constantly search for the finest mothering practices. Having kids will make us happier since they bring so much love into our lives. In actuality, proper mothering entails creating a safe, secure, and loving environment at home to aid in teaching your children life lessons like how to share and respect others as well as how to have healthy self-esteem.
The fundamental elements of successful motherhood are consistency in the application of the rules, the absence of partiality, the rejection of negative behaviors and attitudes, and, of course, the expression of gratitude to one's children for deeds well done. These are a few of the reasons why many kids have no trouble adjusting to their parents. First, if both parents, in particular the mother, uphold their standards consistently and stick to what is right and beneficial for their children, regardless of what transpires. For instance, if you told your children to always clean their teeth after eating sweets or candies to prevent toothaches but they didn't listen, you should remind them of the guidelines until they do it for their own good.
ACCORDING TO RESEARCH POSITIVE MOTHERHOOD RESULTS TO:
• Improves Mental Health
A successful childhood is the result of great parenting, or mothering, to be specific, as highlighted on this topic. It improves academic performance, reduces behavioral issues, and improves mental health in kids.
• Promotes Emotional Being
Teenage brains benefit from good mothering. Researchers in the field of neuroscience have found that during the adolescent years, it helps promote improved function in the brain areas related to emotions.
• Fosters Good Adult Associations
A happy and healthy adulthood is connected to effective mothering strategies. The long-term advantages of positive mothering, according to Harvard researchers, include improved adult relationships and well-being.
THE 7 PILLARS OF POSITIVE MOTHERING STRATEGIES
1. Being Receptive:
"Assisting or guiding a kid in his/her artwork."
You are a capable person whom others can turn to for assistance when faced with difficult tasks. While most don't take advantage, a select few start to depend on you more than is healthy for you or them.
2. Role Modelling:
"They look up to us and completely mimic whatever we do."
Our children will learn from us if we live by this principle, and they will probably copy or imitate our behavior. It's crucial to express interest in your child's day. While we adults have such hectic lives, we must try to imagine ourselves in our kids' shoes.
Example: Don't eat junk food if you want your kids to refrain from eating it.
3.Taking Communication Into Place:
"A simple inquiry of their school performances with a sort of encouragement means a world to them."
Engage in dialogue and become active in discussions with your kids especially during their struggles and problems.
Just as crucial is parent-child communication, which includes giving praise and encouraging the child as well as listening to what they have to say and acting on it. Asking them to elaborate on their ideas will show them that you are actively listening and are interested in what they have to say.
4. Setting Limits and Instruction:
On a case-to-case basis, like age appropriation and school task urgency, at 10 o'clock habit, kids must go off to use gadgets.

By establishing boundaries and doable instructions parents help their children learn vital lessons that will help them achieve in all facets of life. Children learn self-discipline and how to make healthy choices from rules.
5. Encouraging:
When their inherent curiosity is fostered and supported, children can develop their own motivation and often choose to do things they enjoy. In comparison to kids who depend on praise from others to feel good about themselves, self-motivated kids are happier and have better mental health.
Just a plain message like, "you can do it, son" means a lot for them to endure on and face difficulties.
6. Bonding Moment Together:
And now with my teen kids😊
Nowadays, many teenagers are more likely to join their boys' or girls' hub than ours. Regrettably, some participate in sororities and other illegal activities. With this, we hope to protect our children from harmful influences. Making the most of your time with them is crucial since every second matters. Making a connection with your child is important for their growth and development because it aids in their development into secure, loving, and well-adjusted adults.
7. Being Consistent, Co-equal, and Cordial in your Discipline.
While disciplining, children's social skills can be developed through Cordiality or friendships. Children who learn life skills—like how to collaborate with others and handle conflict—are less likely to struggle with social and emotional issues as adults.
Be a friend, not an enemy, and refrain from nagging excessively. Be consistent with discipline, but co equal (Fair) at all times. For instance, there should be an equitable reward and punishment depending on whether limits or rules are followed or not. Go out to eat as a group for prizes; as a kind of punishment, be grounded to use a fon for a day; etc. Last but not in rank pray with your kids.

WRAPPING UP
Motherhood is a challenging task. In fact, there are moments when it is more work than fun. Although very gratifying, the fact that you are in charge of your children until they are adults is such a one-of-a-kind heroic deed of all. The majority of parents concur that caring for a child and all of his or her numerous requirements can be physically and emotionally taxing. That's definitely true. However, if you raise your kids well to the best that you can and rely on God for the rest that you cannot, consequently, a reward is on the horizon. A standing ovation to all the sacrificing mothers out there. BANNER RAISED AND CONGRATULATIONS!
