Parenting is every day challenging, and I take it as a lesson where my children are the teachers, this is because daily they teach me to know them better. Moreover, I must be intelligent towards it and have an eagle eye to look beyond. Therefore, as a parent, we think we know our children in every single way, but we do not… Thinking, we are the grown-ups. By that we make mistake  continuously; make choices for them and when it comes to stage that they want to speak for themselves and because we are so blind to are our adult egos to see it that sometimes it’s alright for them to make their own choices, all we can do is be there to guide advise them with discipline and boundaries of course.

It is easy when you embraced the full package of parenthood.

Every human being is individual in their peculiar away and when I need to have a conversation to one of my beloved children I have to talk to them by their level of knowledge and understand as some children level of knowledge and understanding are well different, by all mean as parents I had to start to listen, observe, and analyse instead of just tell them off… Ever since I have started doing it, I have learned that each one has a different level of understanding and knowledge and from then whenever I need to talk to my daughters I have a conversation up to their level of understanding and knowledge. Therefore, they became more comfortable and opened with me to talk about anything.

The way the world has developed, and it still is, and society still is changing to the way parents are facing immense challenges due to technology, where some parents are letting technology and material goods raising their children. Well I’m not, only for the simplest reason that I do not want to lose my daughters into to it as I have seen so many… Observing all this and I do not necessarily need to experience it to make a change because it probably would be too late. Therefore, I had to make changes.

My first two daughters, they had a tablet each and I was in control to what they watch and to keep them quite quiet while I am taking care of the household administrator/manager position. However, I have seen a change in their behaviour especially the youngest one at the time. E.g: not want wanting to do school work, house chores, but my turning point was when I realised each day she was becoming more distant from me, starting with not listening and following by disobedience, not now the time scale I have applied to when using their tablets at home as I stopped taking it when we were out visiting friends and families, but when the tablets broken I thought there is my opportunity… I will not replace them, and I opted up to use our smart TV and started introducing things to do as a family in order to bring us closer and strengthen our bond.
