Graceful Ona

in #parenting6 years ago

I was depressed few years ago when I 1st gave birth to my son. He was beautiful and I love him very much. His strong character develop through years however has taken me by surprised, unprepared and I ended up feeling lousy, inadequate and worse off as a parent. Situation got tougher when my husband decided to give up his job to stay home and address our family issues. My stress level increased and was left to battle through being a mum, a wife and the sole breadwinner.

My little boy carries the name which was translated to mean little fire. He has an enormous energy that frustrates me and I have caused damaged through both words and actions. I regretted it but damaged has been done.

Time passes by so fast that he is now 6..Can I still make amends? Repair my relationship and reconnect with him? I thank God for his mercy and guided me through angels. People who see me struggling step in to advise, train and now we are able to forgive, to love, to listen and to cherish the little time we have despite my challenging schedule still.

If u are a parent and you struggle just like I do I want to encourage you not to give up nor give in to the negative thoughts but start making baby progress. These few advises has safe my relationship w my boy whom I love dearly

  1. Spent 121 time
  2. Discipline with love - always explain using natural / normal tone, provide guidance and follow through
  3. Fun time - swimming, recycling, snacking, cycling and sport for boys
  4. Lots of hugs and kisses
  5. Show respect and love to my husband - you got that right.. it shows him how a man should be respected and it gives him lots of security

Till we chat again.. Graceful Ona is my little princess which means Graceful Lamb in a living stream. Xoxo
