Books, Parenting Fun

A great quote to share

By Practical Mama |

My daughter is still incubating and – thanks to my mom and husband – I am enjoying my time before the baby by reading more books. Here is a quote I wanted to note from the book I am reading now,  Secrets of the Baby Whisperer for Toddlers, an addition to the Baby Whisperer books, which I highly recommend.

“You can, and should, be in charge, but you cannot control who your child is.”

I reinforces the notion that your baby, your child is another person from the moment that (s)he is born. We have to accept their own personality, get to know them and understand them accordingly. We have to put in extra effort to observe, listen to and talk to them. We have to be patient with them. It doesn’t matter whether our child is 2 months-old or 22 years-old. They are not extensions or different versions of us. They have their oqn unique personalities.

I hope to remember this while I raise my son, and my daughter who will joins us soon.

I am a mother of two and a type of person who you would call “Jack of all trades, master of none”. As you might guess from categories, I love my children, reading, sewing, gardening, traveling and cooking. I also work full time so I have to be practical to do all the things I want to do in a 24-hr-day. More About Me
