Ok, so here it goes! I am a mother of 2 kids. I adore them, dote on them, play and learn with them. Simply put, I love them unconditionally. Sometimes, I feel it comes natural to all the mothers, to love their kids no matter what. And, here what do we mean by love? Is it just hugging and kissing the kids? Or is it dealing with them patiently? Is it the combination of both? Personally, I feel both. Your children need security. So, you make it evident by cuddling and telling how much you love them. You do your best to keep it cool whenever your child makes a mistake. You go to great lengths to ensure that your child learns from his mistake.

However, what happens when the child does not learn from the mistakes? He/she keeps on  repeating the same mistake with an unflagging resolve. Now, here is the tricky situation for you. How are you going to deal with an adamant child? Are you going to give in to his/ her demands or are you going to put down your foot and say enough is enough ? Well, #parenting is not an easy job. It is quite demanding. If you raise your voice at the kid, then you are making the child fearful and uneasy. And, if you ignore the child, then are blamed for being indifferent.

Sometimes, I feel that child birth is easier than raising a child. When you are delivering a baby, you are in the safe hands of doctors but when raising a child, you are scrutinized constantly by your family and society. Your children follies become your follies. Parents, especially mothers are judged moon and night for their parenting skills. So,  what is to be done? Well, firstly and foremostly, we as parents have to remember that parenting is a  trial and error method.  What works for me, may not work for you. But what works for everyone is to have patience.  Whenever, you think your child is at his/her unyielding best, just try to make the child sit down and ask to use the words. Tell the child to express what's bothering him or her. Ask him to drink a glass of water. Acknowledge his/her feelings and encourage the child to express through words and not violent behavior. 

Parenting is definitely a demanding job but you can make it rewarding by choosing the right words, surrounding the child with a positive and happy atmosphere. Never forget to say I Love You to your kids. 

Parenting is indeed demanding but it can be ewarding too. Your world seems magical when you see the kids beaming with laughter and love!!
