#ChampionMom – What It Means to be a Champion Mom

By: christineh Tuesday January 31, 2017 comments Tags: parenting, Champion Mom, motherhood,

The day you give birth to your first child is the day you realise that everything you thought you wanted no longer matters. What matters is that little human being that you hold tight. From that moment on we find ourselves constantly comparing ourselves to other moms, second guessing our actions, and doubting ourselves. Experience doesn’t make it any easier. You need to stop worrying and playing the comparison game and focus on what matters to you and your family. Do you have what it takes to be a Champion Mom?

1. It really is just a phase.

Terrible twos, neediness, shyness and even bossiness are phases children go through. We may rip our hair out in frustration that the two year old you just dressed has removed all their clothes again. We may even feel like they don’t need us anymore as teenagers, when they no longer accept a hug before they run off with their friends. However, understanding that these are phases that our children will go through, and being patient while they work through it, makes you a champion mom.

2. Your children are respectful and happy.

So, they didn’t get the toy they wanted, and they may have thrown a tantrum over it. They might not like the aunt who squeezes their cheeks but they put up with it. Why? Because they have learnt respect for others from you. A happy child who is content with their life is that way because you, as their mom, have provided them with everything they need to feel loved and safe.

3. You encourage them to be open and creative.

Children’s imaginations are wonderful things and encouraging them opens their minds to so much more. Permitting your son to play with a doll, or letting your little girl play in the mud with cars helps their imagination grows. Encouraging them to be thoughtful and open-minded – to problem solve and be compassionate – are the cornerstones of what will make them healthy, productive adults.  Do not stem that imagination or brainpower. Give them the tools and the opportunity to exercise these traits often.

4. Your children love you.

Ultimately it doesn’t matter what other people see or believe, what matters is that your kids understand the value of giving, and receiving, love. Those little hugs before they run off in to school, the cuddles watching a family movie, even as a teenager they find their own little ways to show their love for the ones they care for. Continue to nurture these qualities in your children.

Being a loving mother who encourages and supports her children, even when you may not agree with them, is the foundation for being a Champion Mom. Congratulations  – You are a member of the ranks of Champion Moms!
