Are my children equipped for life

Have I been doing my job?

This is just something that's been on my mind a lot recently. I have been wondering if my children are equipped to deal with this life. And if I have been doing my duty as a mother. So I decided that I need a reminder. Sometimes we get caught up in our own lives we forget that we are responsible for little people. Maybe someone will find it useful so I decided to share.

• Love your children and always tell them and show them.

• Teach your children. Talk to them.

• Guide your children in this tumultuous unpredictable world.

• Teach them to love God and to know that He is always there.

• Teach them that family is the most important thing there is.

• Teach them manners. Hello and Goodbye. Please and thank you. So, they will be welcome anywhere.

• Teach them table manners so that they can be taken anywhere.

• Teach them to help people in need or in trouble. Next time it could be someone they know, and nobody helps.

• Teach them morals and principles. Loyalty, Honesty, Integrity, Love, Empathy etc.

• Teach them that they should love each other as siblings.

• Teach them to work hard for what they want and not to expect others to hand it to them on a silver platter.

• Teach them that life is not fair.

• Teach them that they will be hurt by people closest to them.

• Teach them that they must not give up ever. When life knocks you down you must get up.

• Teach them that they can make a difference.

• Teach them to always strive for more. To never settle.

• Teach them to smile. You don’t know who's day you will make better or whose life you’ll save with a smile. It costs nothing.

• Never ever let your child doubt your love for them.

These are just the thoughts that keep flooding my mind. Now that I have more time I am bombarded with thoughts that could not make their way through before. It feels as if my brain was underwater all the time and finally I can think straight again. It's strange because all the time I thought that I was doing just that. Thinking and using my brain. Apparently, I was not. 

They are just my opinions
