I am a mother for the last 24 yrs and trust me it has been a journey of flowers and thorns presented in the same pot. I have been everything from an angel to a witch to my boys.
The difference of six years between my two sons made me enjoy each kid separately, nurturing them and growing along with them. I agree with the system of planting seeds in a distance so each tree grows freely creating its own space in its own time to form an individual shape and type.
Today, at 50, I have been a mother for 24 years and a reconfirmed mother for 18 years. Its like ‘Tested OK’. During this expedition, Sometimes referred to road maps and other times road signs, yet both the times, I found and lost myself many a times. I cried , I hated, I loved, I protected, I failed, I prayed and I surrendered.
Along the way we shared, a lot, many times a day in spoken and unspoken words, through messages and banging the phones. During the course of growing up, one thing was common and clear was the continuous communication and the connect.
We understood the value of relationship, free flow of communication, learnt the skill of positive arguments, Right to Information, in reality we understood the meaning of fundamental rights and Duties with respect and honor.
Boys understood that “With great power comes responsibility” I learnt Kids learn from what they see than what they are told.
I understood ‘To raise the empowered kids I had to empower myself first.’
Bon Parenting!
