I would never in my wildest dreams call myself a superparent. I think I am a superparent wannabe. Perhaps being in the League will cause some super parenting powers to rub off on me :DStill, I reckon i can still be of some use here.'Cos it seems, from third-party feedback, that I must have done some things right: "Yea i like the way you bring K up. I can see that he is different from others.
Very bright looking, very alive looking, very energetic and very alert and on his toes.
Not dulled by studies and pressure . . . C enjoys playing with K very much. She says he is so funny! haha" And this frriend also suspects her husband may want to adopt K! :P Aah, parenting, the highly challenging and rewarding business of holistic personhood development.I reckon my kid teaches me more about life than i do him ;) I think the best i can do for my son is to love him unconditionally (easier said than done), and the best gifts i can give as a parent are to teach him life skills, especially resilience. And I occasionally remind him that I can only teach him what I know, so he will do well to stay open to learning from everyone around him.We worked out our kiddo's top values together: being "smart and kind, brave and hardworking." He's joyful, fun and funny too :D. Plus caring and gentle with people of all ages, young and old. I am also blessed to have an awesome awesome hands-on-father of a husband who co-parents our champ with relish, especially in things I am not particularly enthusiastic about, like watching "live" footy games, camping for two straight weeks in the outback, and watching every single episode of Man vs Wild (can that man please stop doing things that involve his pee and animal guts!!). Brad Sugars said we tend to over-estimate what we can achieve in one year, and under-estimate what we can achieve in 10. As I enter the 10-year milestone into mummyhood, i am so grateful that i have a son who has made the journey absolutely rewarding. Parenthood can be as easy or as hard as you want it to be, and at the heart of it all, is the privilege to give and receive unconditional love. What a fantastic journey :) I guess this blog will be about stuff that I have done right or others have done right that could help other parents. Through stories, time-saving recipes, reflections, and other stuff.And I hope to pass along some stuff to laugh about too. Cos superparenting doesn't have to be a struggle, and every smile counts, especially during the moments you forget why you ever wanted kids LOL Thankfully we always recover from those moments, and i reckon SuperParents.com can help in so many ways. Thanks Colin, for the privilege of being in the League! xo
