Being a parent is one of the most complicated, yet most challenging, tasks in the world. The moment a child is born a parent ceases to be just a wife/husband/partner but a mother or a father to another being. Therefore, a parent has that enormous responsibility on how the child will turn out to be in the future.
Yet, despite its challenges, being a parent can be a very joyful task. As long as you have accepted your role as a parent, there are many ways in which you can enjoy your parenting to the max. Here's how:
Look at your child as an extension of yourself.
Whatever becomes of him is a reflection of how you look at yourself. Of course, who wants to have a bad self-reflection? Though there are thousands other kids all over the world, your child is unique and there is no other child like your own.
Be his hair is black, brown or red, and his eyes green, blue or grey, your genes is all over him and he is unlike anybody else's. Children keep you young
You have to somehow adjust and look at things her way to be able to understand her points of view, her taste, her likes and dislikes, etc.. Probably, without her, you will not even take a look at anime pictures and television shows, or listen to a hip-hop music and who knows, you might even appreciate some of it, or learn some new lessons in along the way and look at things a little differently.
The whole process of taking care of a child is a very enriching experience - personally, emotionally and psychologically. It is so full of life's nuances that could fill a thick book of life's mini-stories. Stories on the wonder of a child's first step, his first day in class, her first crush, her first love, etc. and how these have made you look deeper into your own values. Sometimes, you wish you could turn back the clock and live life all over again - and surely, it would be better the next time around.
