I Am Proud Of My Child And Always Will Be

You are a mother who is proud of her child. He or she is a part of you and you enjoy everything your child does and every step he takes. You are also proud of yourself for discovering how strong you are. You have turned every weakness into a strength.

It is often said that having a child completely changes our lives. But more than a transformation, the arrival of a baby is a test. It forces you, as a mother or father, to always give the best of yourself. For this reason, being proud of your child also means being happy with yourself, knowing that you are doing your best.

We must remember one thing. It is very important that you show your son or daughter how proud you are of him or her. Just because of who they are – just because they are your child.

Sometimes we make the mistake of praising only good behavior from children. When they do what we ask or when they make their bed. Or when they say good morning or get good grades at school.

Without a doubt, these are all positive things. However, every child should feel that he or she is loved at all times. Not just when they do something ‘right’. To be proud of them, your child doesn’t have to get an A in math. It is enough to see them smiling, hugging them or simply playing happily.

Be proud of your child, every day

You as a mother or father, together with other members of the family, form the first social circle that your child will have to deal with. There is nothing outside of this for small children. This is the environment in which they have their first experiences and which determines how they will see themselves.

• When they feel safe and understand that we are proud of them as they are, it will boost their confidence. However, if children do not see this reflected in their everyday lives, they will start to feel insecure.
• It would not be right to base the education of our children on the simple behavior of punishment and reward. This creates children who are motivated only by external motivation. These children are easily frustrated when they do not receive a reward.

• Above all, it is important that children are sure of themselves before we send them out into the world.  This way, they don’t need external reinforcement to know if something is right or wrong.
• We can only do this by raising our children with respect and emotional intelligence.

Respectful upbringing: trust your gut

The approach to raising children, which was popular in the 1960s, seems to be making a comeback. It tells us that every parent is in some way equipped with an innate instinct that allows them to know what their children need.

• This goes beyond the classic idea of ​​’the maternal instinct’. This is about respectful parenting, where things happen when the time is right. It is not necessary to rush at any particular stage of their development. Just love your kids the way they are.

• This respectful approach to parenting is something we need to discuss, as we often see parents being too driven to have even smarter and more capable children. They want children who can read and multiply at the age of five.
• When these skills are not learned within a certain time, some parents are disappointed.  They are no longer proud of their children. This should not happen. Children see this frustration and internally store it as failure. They feel rejected because they do not live up to the expectations of father or mother.

We must trust our feelings and our hearts. Not on the structures imposed by society that determine who is the most knowledgeable, the smartest, the smartest or the most confident. Our kids are already perfect just because of who they are. Simply because they are ours. Just because they exist.

Be proud of your child forever

We know that the expression “I will always be proud of you” always comes with fine print. We are aware that at some point our children will probably do something wrong.

But remember one thing: your kids need you more than ever when they make a mistake or feel lost. They need you to help them get back on track. They need you to give them strength. They need to feel that no matter what happens, you will always love them.

This gives them the strength and integrity to carry on.

Don’t wait for a special moment

• It is not necessary to bear a child yourself, to love him unconditionally. Your child does not have to be the best in school. He doesn’t have to be the tallest nor the most handsome if you want to be proud of your child. He doesn’t have to live up to all the expectations you had in mind for his future.
• Let him be himself.  Let him be right or wrong and let him live his life as he pleases. Most importantly, let him know that you will always be there for him. Whatever happens.
• And remember, don’t wait for a special moment to say “ I’m proud of you ”. Tell him as often as you can. When you say good night. When he smiles at you and when he falls and yet gets back up…

Here’s what you can do to help your child grow up happy, knowing he’s loved and can be the person he wants to be.
