Moms as Teachers

"One mother can achieve more than a hundred teachers"

                                                                               -Jewish Proverb-


Being a mother (parent), our children would always depend on us about anything--school stuffs, fashion, relationships, crushes, tales, and a lot more. Mothers really are a mishmash of great teachers of different field of specialization. But I think, we must not also pressure ourselves on something beyond our reach. Here is an advice I have learnen from the book "The Mom You're Meant To Be" by Cherri Fuller.


A child will catch a love of learning from a mom who likes to find things out, who is curious herself, who enjoys learning for its own sake, who adds to her store of knowledge simply because it's fun. it's not hard, either, to be a good example in this way. Try these suggestions:

• Keep learning. If you don't know something--like how to grow cactus or make grapevine wreaths, for example--head to the library with your child (the net, too, offers, us vast of information about almost everything). Besides, learning something new keeps our brain sharp, which we need if we're going to keep up with our kids as they grow!
• Admit your mistakes. Even in your mistakes, you can be a good role model! When you're willing to admit your errors, learn from your failures, and ask forgiveness when you hurt someone, then kids learn the value of repentance and how to handle mistakes. They tend to risk making mistakes in order to grow, knowing they have the support of parents who aren't perfect--just forgiven.
