If ever I had uncontrollable rush of emotions then I would give them a smack or two and after few minutes I regret doing it and cry. I don’t often beat them but sometimes when I lose my cool then I become a person whom I hate myself.
No matter however angry I am I don’t hurl hurtful words at them. No, never. Because, I strongly believe that mom’s words are powerful on their kid’s wellbeing. So, I only wish and speak positive with my kids.
But, when I have the rush of emotions and when ‘don’t Deep, this isn’t the kids but your hormones’ doesn’t work. I give them a smack or pinch their ears. Then, after few minutes I hug them, say sorry and sometimes even cry.
This is from my personal experience with my mom too where I don’t remember the times when she beat me but I remember every single word she used at me when she was angry with me.
Also, I am no epitome of perfection that I can expect my kids to be perfect.
Neither was I a topper in school to expect my kids to top in everything.
I encourage them, I tell them that it’s ok if they can’t do something, it’s not the end of the world if they don’t win, it’s no one’s concern about how they look or what they want to do in life…only they should be concerned about their life.
But, being healthy, being good human beings and not giving up is what I always tell them.
I have kept a diary of important events from my kid’s life and yes, I have mentioned everytime I had hurt my kids only to remind me again and again what not to repeat with them.
In less than a month, the academic year ends and it’s summer holidays and I had been thinking of how to make it fun for the kids.
I have saved a bag full of cement from the materials that were bought to construct an office next to our house, I am watching videos on 5-minutes crafts as my kids love to do something like this.
I am planning to take them to work in the fields, to teach them how to water the plants in the fields and how to climb trees. I am also planning to teach them how to milk the cows.
I am so excited!
