Being a parent brings a lot of responsibilities. But together with these responsibilities are opportunities to see a miracle - your kid growing up from being a baby to toddlers to graders, tweens and teens.
Most moms would agree that if only given a chance, they would stop their kids from growing up and just let them be their cute and adorable little selves.
For a mother who loves her kid so much, it's a great, or even the best, feeling to be able to shower them with hugs and kisses whenever possible. On the other hand, it's quite a challenge to see them maturing (growing tall and gaining more knowledge through the years).
So what we can do then is really find time to get to know them and guide them in the right path as they're growing up. Communication is key so they can open up without hesitation to you any time they feel like it.
Becoming their best friend is a good step. In this way, you build trust and a deeper relationship that can go on for the rest of your lives.
Never let a day go by without talking to your kids. It's an effective way of knowing them better inside and out.
