Motherhood is the greatest vocation in the world, this tells you how serious it is.
Be aware that great men in the past were once a child in the hand of their mother.
Careful study of these great men reveals that they had good mothers.
As mothers we must ensure that we continuously look for ways to develop our relationship with our children.
We must provide our children the necessary guidance and discipline when it's necessary for us to do so.
We must endeavor to sit them down in order to find out what is really going in their mind.
This is necessary because when a child reaches puberty she starts to develop and discover her identity, they go through emotional and psychological identity crisis which tends to make them to question and challenge established norms.
As such a period they begin to seek for help and direction from their parents but how do you ratify this if you are the type that has not been creating room for questions and answers, therefore you must develop a good friendship and conversation with them.
As a mother if you do not give your child the necessary training as when due then you are limiting your child's achievement in every area of his/her life.
One primary thing you have to do first as a parent is to lead your child to God, instill in him the fear of God which will lead him to the fear of Man and make a responsible child in the family.
