No two people will have exactly the same parenting style. We all come to parenting with our individual family histories, our personalities, strengths and weaknesses. Whether you are conscious of it or not, each one of us has a unique personal style of relating.
We all have patterns of behavior which simply affect our relationships. These repeated patterns of behavior make up our unique style as it is perceived by others. Mothers and fathers begin the parenting journey with the complex interaction between their own two styles, and then layer on the interaction with their baby, who brings her own temperament to the table. As you interact with your baby, you will learn more about yourself, your style and your parent’s style. Although any behavior is also guided by the specific factors of a situation, your state of mind and stress level, you will have a style that is typical for you most of the time.
I only have my very own SAM. So far, having one daughter and enjoying together her childhood is overwhelming and at the same time fulfilling. As a first timer mom, I can say that raising up your child on your own way is not easy. Mixing with joy and hardship is the theme. Specially here in USA, I don’t have anybody to call for a help except my dear husband. So now, I am enjoying my way of raising up our SAM. I am making my best to let her grow in a very good way. Teaching her what I have learned and the way it should be.
Reading books and asking mommies around helps a lot. Got some tips from them and applied it to my daughter. Reading articles help too!
So far, it is all in control, thanks be to God for the guidance. My husband is one of my best buddy as well as adviser, who helps me in raising our SAM properly. We are doing our best to keep our little in the right path in this journey we called "life".
Have fun, be realistic, be positive and best of all, ask guidance from our Almighty God. Enjoy, despite of the cruel circumstances that cannot be avoided. This is life, we must enjoy every minute of it, despite of --- that's what it should be.
My Sam is over one year old and days soon, she will turn one year and two months. " Time flies fast ", is what I can describe thinking the time I experienced the pain of delivering her into this world. The time that I first held her in my arms. And the time when she had her first surgery. Time went away, she already had her second surgery when she was nine months old. And now I cannot wait of third surgery to lock the risk to which I hope she won't need more surgery in the further years. Thanks to the technology and the knowledgeable and great doctors and the team that she is here now with me happily. I give and will always give my best of taking care of her, yes, to the best of my ability.
The great news is, she is a happy baby, active and willing to learn as well as experience what this world can offer. What a willful this child is. I am not saying that because I am her mother but that is what what I saw in her. God bless this beautiful precious child of mine. She is my everything.
Yes, today is my daughter Sam's special day. A monthly celebration. Can you guess why? Well, never mind. I just want to leave the answer to my own. Sorry. I was just thinking that if you are guessing, I then have the obligation to tell you what is it. Ha! If you insist, you can leave me a comment. Ha ha!
I don't know the feeling way back but the most important one was I was very much happy. Now that I have her, I would do everything I can to make her comfortable and feel great. She is an angel, a live angel. A very precious little one. I am lucky I have her.
In lieu of it, I would like to God, the foremost, and everyone involved. For the great knowledge, ability and everything in between.
My live angel sent from Above. Gift. One of my inspiration. Precious. I am a momma/mommy because of this cutie patotie. :-) I experienced sadness, pain and most of all the unexplainable great happiness. Indeed, an angel given by God. God is great! Journeying with her is priceless!
