How can I be a super mom? Don't we all ask ourselves this question from the minute we get pregnant and feel the soul of our loved one growing inside of us? Personally, when I conceived my first girl I wished someone could provide me with A to Z steps on how to be the best mother in the world but this is impossible. Even child psychologists haven't agreed on one unique method to raising our children. I have read so many parenting books and what I found is that the general methods are common but when it comes to practicing these methods scientists might disagree. Nevertheless, reading is, in my own opinion, essential for a good parenting adventure. Books will not only tell us how to deal with certain situations but they will help us learn how to find a suitable solution to our child's case since every child is unique therefore every child needs a different kind of intervention.
So, my number one tip for being a super mom is:
Reading:
Begin reading from the minute you learn you're going to be a mother. Fall in love with those parenting books because they might be your only way out. If you're a new-mom you cannot possibly imagine the twisted situations a child could put you through or go through himself. Therefore, you need to be well prepared. Choose two or three of the most popular parenting books; go through the suggested ideas and explained techniques and see how you can apply what you read to your actual situation.
I will recommend few books: How To Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen so Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber, The Baby Book: Everything You Need To Know About Your Baby from Birth To Age Two by William Sears, The No-Cry Sleep solution: Gentle Ways To Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night Foreword by William Sears, MD by Elizabeth Pantley, Siblings Without Rivalry: How to Help Your Children Live Together So You Can Live Too by Adele Faber, Unconditional Parenting: Moving from Rewards and Punishments to Love and Reason by Alfie Kohn.
Now after you have read so many books, you will have enough material to allow you to act well under hard circumstances. And as a mother you will be facing many, from the moment you give birth to the second you accompany your child to the altar.
