Nobody is perfect, not our children and not even us. There is no such thing as a perfect parent. People make mistakes and we learn from these experiences.
According to Pop Sugar, every challenge in life has a reason and a purpose, it may cause us to have a harder time to deal with it. Every challenge is a teacher. As they say, experience is the best teacher. Every parent forgets this fact most of the time. There are a lot of reasons for the challenges, it can be anything from the fast pace of life, stress etc. Most of the time when the situation is stressful, some parents forget that their kids are just kids, they just made mistakes and not committed a crime.
When a parent feels stressed, every situation is a bad situation. For a example, when their kids spilled juice on the newly cleaned floor, they start yelling at them. This is not only because what happened but because of the stress they have been keeping inside. They didn't realize that this situation is an accident.
Parents should remind themselves that this situation is a lesson for both the child and the parent as well. Life lessons happen every day and what matters is how you react to it. That is how real parenting is. It is how parents react to their children that can determine the direction of their relationship. This life lesson has been proven true, children indeed learn life from how their parents spoke to them.
Parents need to consider two things when they are giving corrections or simply talking to their children. They need to think about the tone of their voice. This reflects the tension, stress or the emotion they are feeling at that time.
A very important point for parents to remember is that kids think that everything you do is perfect and correct. They haven't experienced a lot about life yet so they don't know any different. In order or the children to follow their parent, they need to see them modeling the behavior they want their children to follow. After all, you have to practice what you preach.
