A Mother's Promise

As a mother, I promise to give careful attention and love to nurture my daughter. I promise not to be too hard on myself and her. Accept my girl for who she is, and not to try to control her, learn to let go and let her experience her own life.

I promise to focus on praising her positive behavior instead of criticizing what she lacks. Accept the things I cannot change and have the courage to change the things I can. Give her space to handle her own challenges and guide her as her Guardian instead of controlling her.

I promise to put aside whatever I am doing and give her my full focus and attention when she want to tell me something.
