RE: Parenting With Balance

in Hive Learners12 days ago

A mother’s love most times makes them see danger when there is none. They just want their child to be in a place where they can easily watch them and that’s why your mum struggled with the idea of allowing you go on distant trips.

But like you said, she was just being overprotective. She wanted you to be in somewhere she can feel at ease. In a situation like this, the least a parent should do is to take that child on a similar trip so they can at least have an idea of what their mates know. Sadly, most parents will see that as a waste of time.

Children are watching and parents should always have that in their mind because it will help them do better. The balance is hard to find because most parents have made too many mistakes and they just want to go with the flow.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us, love. ❤️

I do not blame my parents for the way they raised their children. Although I wish they'd done better, I understand that we are humans and not perfect. I also understand that they did it out of love. I agree with you that she wanted us to be somewhere safe, but it was just too much.

Achieving balance is not an easy feat. It may seem easy, but deep down, it is complex and difficult to achieve.

Finally, yes, children are always watching and that is why parents must be careful when raising their kids.

Thanks for stopping by, love.

Yeah, as we always say, too much of everything is bad. A little here, a little there keeps the beam balanced.

I’m glad we have gotten the privileges to learn from our parents, the things they did well and the ones the need to make some improvements or even changes in.
