Set The Example - Celebrate Mother's Day

Your most important role as a parent is role model. As a parent, you have to provide the positive example for your child regarding positive interactions with their mother. Childhood development is impacted by moral and social development based on positive-parent child interactions. Children that come from toxic environments have a higher probability of social emotional struggles throughout their life time. And the reverse is true, children that come from positive parenting usually have positive social outcomes. Which one do you want for your child?

As commonly stated, the marriage is over but the relationship with your child lasts a lifetime. Dads have to lead by example. This Mother's Day, be the positive example for your child by demonstrating the importance of mom in their life. Especially if you do not get along with the mother of your child.

Children will see your positive parenting as an alternative to power struggles that exist. This is so important for them to understand regarding future relationships in their own life. Not everything as to be a power struggle. You are the guide to future relationships.

Things to avoid? Don't worry what mom gets you for Father's Day. Just focus on the positive. Comparisons only make a child feel caught in the middle.

Need a starting point? Start with the birth of your child. How lucky they are to have 2 parents that love them. Keep it simple. Your comments will also help improve your relationship with the other parent. Even if it does not, when your children are adults, they will remember your examples of positive parenting.
