How to love your child more

gorgeous-girl.jpg

A dear friend shared an idea with me when I whinged about how difficult it was to care for a child, and I would like to share it with you because we all go through struggles as Moms, and I believe that children deserve all the love they can get. And more.

In the bigger scheme of things, looking at the big picture, the stages of childcare that causes a hands-on Mom to feel overwhelmed is only a fraction of your entire life span. So think about it. Although the last three years with Tee have been joyous, there have been moments of despair. I don’t know why but whenever she keeps food in her mouth and refuses to tell me the reason, I go ballistic. She either swallows the food or spits it out. Why does she have to keep it in her mouth??? Bah!!! Time for self-reflection. Why does something so trivial stress me out so much?

Yet, now I feel that I want to give her my time, as much as physically possible, because she will only be three years old once. And after this year, she will be four and very soon, the child slowly slips away from you and one day, she will be an adult. I don’t want to look back and feel that I didn’t have such special moments with her and I don’t want her to have no memory of her Mom as a child. I have no memory of my own mother as a child because she was just not there. I don’t want that for Tee.

But Ssshhhh……..don’t tell her that. It doesn’t mean I am going to be a pushover. *wink*

Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.

Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.

She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.

A beautiful life without limits.

If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.

Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.

Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
Show your support and spread the love!

  1. Yeah.. reading your post makes me confront what I know all this time. As you said, give your time, as much as physically possible.

    I too, can just snap at my son when he does things like, instead of saying he’s full, he’ll spit out his food all over his plate.. and when asked why, his answer will be “Because I want.”

    I guess I’ve still gotta train myself to be more patient and tolerant. After all he is only almost 4. Those snappy moments can wait till they’re teenagers. 🙂

  2. oh dear, Patsy, Tee is looking exactly like you liao….!!!

    wat u say is very right. My feel my mom wasnt around much for me too, so now every moment spend with my girl is precious!!

  3. Agree with you totally. It is just a snapshot for them to be with you. Soon they will tell you, “Mom, i am big enuf to take care of myself ! “

  4. I know you ain’t a pushover… you’re a great mum. Sher drives me insane too when she stores food in her mouth for 1-2 hours. Now, I won’t force her to eat what she doesn’t like. I just feed her what she likes to eat (of course must be relatively healthy food) and she eats them on her own without any fuss.

  5. Thank you for sharing. I consciously stop myself.. when i feel that i am getting upset with the brat.. but it’s not always easy. And like you .. i want the brat to have a happy childhood.. unlike myself.
