Raising a Good MAN...

2/2/2016

0 Comments

 
We were married for almost 3 full years before we decided we were ready for a baby..what we didn't know is that being ready doesn't you will instantly achieve what you want.. So by the time we learned I am pregnant...we were more than ready!!

For the 1st entire first 5 month I was dreaming, wanting, praying for a baby GIRL as my first newborn (you know that's what most 1st time mums will naturally want..)
​till Doctor finally confirmed we are expecting a BOY!

And what do I know about raising a BOY?

Not much... but the second I saw him and our eyes met, I fell in love with this little BOY... That instant I looked into his eyes I knew that every hope I have for his future depends on how & what we will raise him to be!!

In time I learned that raising a thoughtful, well-behaved son can be a challenge!!! BUT... I have a great example.. His own Father!! 

Not to mention.... Future women are counting on ME..... so I KNOW..I'm not just raising a GOOD BOY!!
​

I'm also raising  a GOOD MAN..who 1 day might be somebody's Loving Husband and a devoted FATHER!!

So how to bring up a good, kind, happy, mindful, considerate, compassionate & respectful Man? 
  1. Give him plenty of physical affection
  2. Don't try to shut down his high-revving engine
  3. Let him show his emotions
  4. Give him some responsibility
  5. Praise the positive
  6. Get involved at school
  7. Teach him the Values of Respect, Empathy, & Independence
  8. Encourage his Interests
  9. Teach him to be smart & confident
  10.  Give him chances to polish his social skills.

Feel free to read more interesting and inspiring articles and tips on:
  • Raising Good Boys: The 5 Values you Need to Teach your Son
  • 10 tips for raising a well-rounded boy​
  • How to Raise a Good Man

With ALL these useful tips in mind, I started gradually & slowly shaping up my little son into the MAN he will hopefully grow up to be!!!

1 thing I know I never pushed him for this, however, he really gets pissed off upon seeing women in their bathing suits but not on the Beach! 
And during a fun show we had in our last weekend's birthday and upon seeing these 2 lovely ladies dancing he turned to me and said:
"MUM, you look prettier and beautiful than them!!!"

Sometimes I ask my hubby "Do you think it's good for him to be sensitive?" Or when he starts snuggling, kissing, hugging & showering me with such sweet compliments..... I worry: Would A sensitive, affectionate boy risks being perceived as a "mama's boy, tied to her apron strings."
 
Well, I believe I have enough time to worry of all the hearts he might melt, but till then ladies.... 

THIS BOY is taken ;)

He's all mine!! and I will make sure to cherish, enjoy and indulge in every minute, every smile, every HUG and laugh we have together...and I promise YOU when the right time comes..

I will set HIM FREE TO THE WORLD as the GOOD MAN he SHOULD BE..for I am raising the Next generation :)
