I totally have a time for myself. My 2 princesses are asleep and now it’s time for me to blog. I just hope they will take a nap longer so that I can update my other blogs as well. I guess some mommies out there that it’s quite hard to blog while the kids are awake, especially the babies for they need much of our attention. Even when we are not blogging, we often wish they would not bother us that much. I’m just reminded of my husband who sometimes complained how messy is our bedroom when he comes home. Sometimes, he can’t help scold our eldest daughter for scattering her toys and books anywhere. Often, I agree with him but most of the time, I told him to let kids be. I told him to remind ourselves, as parents, that we should be glad instead that we have active kids at home. Making a mess means to say that our kids are okay, are healthy and safe at home. I’d rather have that than a very neat and quiet house with sickly kids. With that, my husband stopped complaining. I guess he got my point.
What I’m trying to say here is that we should try to understand that kids will undergo many phases and we should let them be. Although it is also the parents’ responsibilities in instilling in them proper values and to teach them how to keep their things, but if they want to play, let them play. If they want to scatter their things to play, let them but tell them also to return it afterwards. Or if they don’t, they can’t play the next day or their time of playing will be shortened next time.
But I don’t say my technique is effective but I constantly remind my kids, especially the eldest until she will finally get it. How about you? What’s your style? Is it effective? I’d appreciate if you share me your story
