What do SuperMoms do?

Even the strongest, the smartest and the toughest ones get tested when it comes to parenting. So what makes mom a supermom? Honestly speaking, every mom is a supermom. Working days and nights with no clock out time itself is an achievement. But when you see that perfect mom who is the queen of play dates and is composed in every chaotic situation, you simply can’t resist saying is she a superwoman?

And the inside story is, you don’t have to be extraordinary in everything to be that superwoman. We all know that we need to give our best to excel in any field. In professional world you know your targets and goals. So you direct your ideas and energy to achieve that. But when it comes to parenting there is no clear cut goals for everyone. So my say would be, the only goal you should have as a parent is to react best in every situation. I think your attitude is tested the most. Your kids will give you sleepless nights, even after sleep training them. They will throw a fit for donuts or for the toy they like. They will push buttons for that extra attention.

I agree that staying outdoors builds not only their physical strength but also keeps them in a happy frame of mind most of the time. Even then there will be power struggles here and there on a daily basis. And that is absolutely healthy, your kids are fighting for what they want and what they believe is right. But that should not baffle us, instead deal that challenge by reacting well in that situation. So what is a best reaction? We as parents should react or exhibit our attitude in such a way that when our kids imitate us we should be proud of that behavior. Treat them like you want to be treated. If a 3 year old throws paint on your carpet, take a deep breath and think if you goofed up your numbers at your workplace how would you want to be treated. So teach your little one the appropriate place to paint. And if your 6 year old messes up the floor, most of the time it is because he wants your attention or he had a bad day at school. Help your kid to calm down and teach him the appropriate way to take out his anger or frustration.

You are in charge of developing human minds, to teach them the right way to be happy and successful. So don’t stress out, instead be proud to take up this big responsibility. Your attitude will determine their attitude towards life. Parenting transformed me into my best version so far. And I am sure you would agree too when you look back at yourself and see how far you have come. So enjoy being yourself and being that super parent.
