She Is...Mom!Sample

She is… A cheerleader! As a mother, you must believe in your children wholeheartedly. You must cheer for your children whether they are winning or losing in life’s situations. You must applaud loudly when everyone else has given up and gone home. A mother should only say kind words to a child and about a child. Never say things like, “You drive me crazy!” “I love you but I don’t like you very much!” Even words of correction should be spoken in kindness and wisdom. Words should never be spoken out of ugly emotion or anger. The words that you speak over your child’s life should serve to point them in a healthy direction in life. When your child is in a situation in life where they seem to be losing, you should be the one standing on your feet and cheering vibrantly. One of the most delightful jobs of a mother is to help each one of their children discover their talents and abilities. If you have a child who loves to draw, put their pictures proudly on your refrigerator and send these amazing masterpieces to grandparents. If your child loves trains, take this child on a train ride and read books about trains. If you have a child who loves music, acquaint this one with different composers and various styles of music. Expose your children to opportunities that will cultivate their gifts. When your child has a game or a recital, you should attend regardless of what else is going on in your life. There is no corporate meeting or personal interest that should eclipse the value of what your child is involved in. No one can take your place because you are the head cheerleader! Look for something good in your child every single day. Do not lay your head on your pillow at night if you have not said, “I love you!” at least one time to the little lives that are looking to you for encouragement and unconditional love. She is… an enthusiastic cheerleader!
