I’m A Proud Mother Of My Child And It Will Always Be Like That
Proud of my son. He is part of my being and I will love him in every thing I do, every step I take. In turn, you are also proud of yourself for having discovered the size of your strength, for having done this with your weaknesses and strengths.
It is often said that the arrival of a child changes our lives completely. However, more than changing, it puts us to the test. Having a child obliges you as a mother, or obliges you as a father, to always do your best. So being proud of a child also means feeling good about yourself. Because we are doing the right thing.
However, there is one aspect that we must take into account. It’s important to make your son or daughter see that you feel truly proud to see what he or she is like, to be your son or daughter. For being themselves. Sometimes we can make the mistake of only reinforcing behaviors that we feel are appropriate. If they obey us, if they make the bed, if they say “good morning”, if they get good grades…
This is all positive, no doubt about it. However, every human being needs to feel wanted in any situation, not just “when you do something right”. It is not necessary for our child to get a 10 in math to make us proud. It’s enough for him to smile, to ask for a hug, to play full of happiness…
I feel proud of my son every day and let him know it
The family, that is, you as the mother or father and the other closest members, are this child’s first social universe. For her there is nothing else. We have to take into account that it is in this environment that she will live her first experiences in life and where, in turn, she will recognize herself.
- Proud of my son because he feels safe, and we should build his self-esteem. However, the child who does not realize this on a daily basis becomes insecure.
- If we institute a creation that is based on the prize and the punishment, we are making mistakes. What we get are children who obey with rewards. If they are not successful, frustration appears.
- We need, above all, to give the world “self-assured” children. People who don’t need external reinforcement to know when something is right or not.
- Something like this can only be achieved through a creation based on respect and Emotional Intelligence.
Proud of my son because I trust my instincts to know what’s best
Nowadays, an educational approach that appeared in the 1960s has come back to value. It’s that method that tells us that somehow every mother and every father has an instinct capable of knowing what the child needs.
- It is something that goes beyond the classic “maternal instinct”. We speak of a respectful creation in which everything has its time. In this creation there is no need to skip steps. In it, the child is loved the way he is.
- If we are talking about this topic, we have a reason. This is due to a fact that we often see. Mothers and fathers who want to have more skilful children, smarter children and capable, for example, of reading and multiplying at the age of 5 years.
- If these abilities don’t show up, parents no longer feel proud of their children. This is not correct. Because children perceive this frustration and internalize it as a failure. As a rejection of themselves for not being what their mother and father expected.
We must trust our instincts, our heart. Not in what society determines of the most skillful, the smartest, the best-looking, or the extrovert. Our children are already perfect just for being who they are, for being ours, for being themselves, for existing.
proud of my son forever
However, we need to know one thing: Your kids will never need you more than when they make mistakes. They will need you to find the right path. They will need you to gather strength, to know that whatever happens you will always love them. Something like that provides comfort and integrity.
- It is not necessary to have given birth to love a child as if it were your child. It also doesn’t take our child to be the best in the class or the tallest to be proud of him. It also doesn’t have to live up to the expectations we had in mind about the future.
- Let your children be themselves, let them make mistakes, let them get right, let them live as they wish. But that they also know at all times that you will always be there, beside them…
- And remember: never wait for a special moment to be able to say “I’m proud of you”. Say this often to your child when, for example, you say good night. When he smiles, when he stumbles and falls, but gets back up…
All of this will ensure happy growth. Your child will feel wanted to be whatever he wants to be tomorrow.
