I received this in my email, one of the many inspirational articles I get and totally agree with it!
One of the major tasks of a mother is to give her children support. Here’s how:
-
Program your children for success. What you want them to be, tell them they are.
-
Expose your children to people you admire. If you surround your children with those you admire—youth group leaders, teachers, baby-sitters, relatives—you can provide a “stereo” version of value-training.
-
Tell, tell, tell your children what they are doing right. Lavish sincere words of praise on your children, whatever their age.
-
Teach your children to become pillars to others. Encourage them to invest praise and encouragement in the lives of their friends.
It’s not hard to be a pillar of support for our children. Like most of us, they are waiting to be encouraged.
