New moms are always taught to raise their children like they were raised.
They should follow all the norms for raising the child as their parents raised them. Many people come and advise about raising the child, which can make a new mom feel underconfident and doubt herself.
She starts doubting about small decisions related to her child, and when something goes wrong, she blames herself.
Instead of advising her about raising her child, ask her for her opinion. Ask her what she is thinking about raising her child, what plans she has made, and what help she needs. Make her feel that her opinion is important and matters.
Boost up her confidence. Being a first-time mom is challenging as she is unaware of everything. Her life turns upside down. She is scared for her baby, and that leads to postpartum depression.
Every parent is different, and so is the child. So, raising a child for every parent is different, as are the circumstances. Every child is raised under different circumstances.
So, instead of raising your child like you were raised, raise your child how you want to raise him. Listen to the advice, but ultimately, the decision is yours.
Never forget that you are a mom. You and only you know your child better. You know what is best for your child. Never doubt your decision when it comes to your children. Your decision to raise them is always for your child’s well-being. Sometimes, your decision will be praised, and sometimes, it will be criticized. Never bother with such negative comments.
So, all the women out there, be confident in your decision to raise your child. Only you know how to raise your child better.
