Motherhood: Five Important Roles A Mother Plays In The Home 5

Hello Great Mothers! We have been talking about the roles of mothers in the home. We discussed in my previous article the first two values parents, especially mothers, are supposed to teach children from home, even before they begin to go to school. Also, we said that the onus lies more on the one who spends more time with the children.

It is better to start teaching our children values from preschool so that they can become a natural part of them. We discussed Honesty and Goodness.

We will be discussing more in this article;

1) Responsibility
This is a great value to teach your children if you want them to be committed in life, accountable and dependable. If you don’t teach them this responsibility early in life, they will find it hard to cope in life. This value will help them find jobs, and be successful in their career, education, and all they do. You can start to teach this value by;
a) showing responsibility for your actions and
b) having them do little chores in the house, like laying on their bed every morning. You can give them more to do as they grow old.

2) Respect
It is our duty as mothers to teach our children to respect everyone, no matter what age, race, status, or religion they may be. This value will help them to be kind and thoughtful of people they meet in their daily life. It will also help them to be kind and. take care of you too, no matter their age.

3)Love
There is never too much love to give to a child. One of a child’s fundamental emotional needs is to feel safe. Love is something that children naturally give; yet, if it is not returned, it could not always remain as they get older. Begin by telling your child you love them constantly.

Allow your kids to witness your affection for them and the people in your life. Show your partner some love when they are present. Verbally and physically express your affection to others. Never go a day without telling your child how much you love them.

3)Love
You can never give your child enough love. Expressing love to your child through words and actions is their basic emotional need. Children naturally show love, but if it is not reciprocated, it may not necessarily last as they get older. Start by continuously telling your children that you love them.

Let your children see how much you care about them and the others in your life through your actions. Show love to your husband when he is around. Never let a day pass without expressing your affection for your child. Before you know it, it will gradually become part of them as they grow.
