You need to see you child beyond the present and it takes faith and sensitivity to make that happen.

A person is said to be realistic when he or she is sensible and practical enough to know what is achievable at a given time and how to go about it.

What are you saying to your child? What do you call him or her? What you consistently say to your child daily is a reflection of your perception of him or her, and if care is not taken, that child will not go beyond that because whatever you call him is what he will think of himself, and as a man thinks of himself, so is he.

What are you seeing in your child? You must be careful not to join the crowd to call your child negative names such as dullard, idiot, stupid, thieves, prostitutes, nonentities, addicts, crazy, and many more, as this will weaken your defense and strength to fight to see your child survive his challenges.

Patience and comparison do not align. God’s purpose for you in parenting might be different from that of your parents, siblings, friends, neighbors, colleagues, and others.

Anyone who will be able to see God’s desire in his or her child must be willing to cooperate with God through the virtue of patience, for without patience, it will be difficult to inherit God’s promises for your child and for you in parenting.

Many parents have killed their children’s confidence, skills, talents, purpose, good association, growth, and health out of impatience. If you are a referenced and irresistible parent, in the evening of your life, the virtue of patience is highly needed to let your child live and find expression in life.

Parenting is sacrificial and requires a high level of commitment, and patience is one of the high costs of parenting.

Combining each of the great attributes (acronym), will make you successful in parenting. Not only that, but you will also become irresistible and referenced mothers.

Parenting is first an investment; whether it is rightly or wrongly done, it is always highly rewarding with a huge dividend, following the pattern in which it has been done.
