Mother /Child

The definition of a good mother varies depending on who you ask. However, most people agree that the most important thing is to love your children and make sure they feel loved.

Dish out plenty of love in the form of hugs, kisses, and praise

Affection reminds your child that they are loved unconditionally. Plus, it’s linked to higher self-esteem, better academic performance, fewer behavioral problems, and an overall stronger relationship between you and your child.

  • Make sure most of the interactions you have with your children are positive and loving. Strive to show affection daily.
  • If you have a baby, affection may simply involve holding your infant regularly or speaking reassuringly.

ways you can be a more supportive, loving mother.

Spend time with your kids one-on-one

Quality time is important for building strong relationships. If you have multiple children, make an effort to hang out with each one on their own instead of as a group. Even short windows of time can strengthen the bond between you two.

  • If you’re dealing with a baby or toddler, one-on-one time might include getting down on the floor and playing with them.
  • For an older child, try doing a hobby with them, like baking, hiking, or doing arts and crafts.

Show your support.

Validate your child’s interests to help them feel worthy. Even if it’s not exactly what you’d choose for yourself, nurturing their interests can help boost your kid’s self esteem and make them feel confident in their own life. Their interests may come and go, so be prepared to shift gears fairly often.
  • If your teenager has joined a band, give some positive feedback about the songs they write.
  • If your preteen is obsessed with space, buy them books or take them on a trip to the planetarium.
 
 

Love your children unconditionally.

It will help your children feel confident in themselves and in you Even if your child messes up or you have to discipline them, let them know that you still love them. As a parent, your job is to love your child for who they are, not for who you wish they were.
  • Try to avoid criticizing or blaming your child for their mistakes. Instead, focus on what they can do better next time.
 
 

Admit when you were wrong.

You’re not going to be a perfect mom, and that’s okay When you admit your mistakes and apologize for them, you show your children that you respect them as human beings. Admitting your own wrongdoing shows your kids that there’s nothing to be ashamed of about mistakes—as long as they fess up and try to make amends.
  • For instance, if you accidentally compare one kid to another, acknowledge that it was wrong by saying, “Jeff, I want to apologize to you. I compared you to your brother yesterday and I shouldn’t have. Each of you is special with your own qualities. Will you please forgive me?”
