Parents as supergeroi have a plurality of hit. They can fly to catch falling from the swing toddler, after a hard day tomorrow to sew a suit for the morning, one look to stop a tantrum child, and costs little or no sleep, if necessary, rest and eating unlimited time.
But there are qualities that are particularly important if you suddenly decide to become a mother and father. And when you have already chosen a name for the crumbs to make repairs in the children's and maternity hospital decided on, it is time to prepare their minds, feelings and outlook to the appearance of the crumbs into the light.
Patience.Do you think it will not hold? Believe me, it only seems. The crying baby can ruffle even reinforced concrete wall. But we hasten to reassure impatient when you have a baby in the house - this is normal. It is not necessary to reproach myself for it and feel guilty.
The best thing in these moments - keep the baby for 5 minutes in a safe place (eg crib) or transfer someone from the family members to leave the room and take a breath: take deep breaths or count to 50 and back. Everyone, certainly, has its little secrets of how to quickly calm the nerves. On it you will take a few minutes, but will avoid the risk of break on the child or begin to shake it like a pear. This practice can also be useful to you. By the time the child is three years old, that is the Zen you will know firsthand.
Sense of humor. Raising a child with a sour and take everything too seriously - bad for your health, for your and crumbs. So please be a sense of humor and self-irony, not to be nervous when the baby starts to draw on the new wallpaper of your favorite lipstick. Otrygnet or an evening dress in which you are in something that forever and decided to get out into the light. In the end, rather than rant and rave for you is the most easier to admit that in fact painted wallpapers - this is a godsend design. A dress was altogether out of place in jeans at the party where it is more convenient.
The ability to wait.Please do not confuse with patience. It is useful to you, when your undoubtedly perfect in every way you throw a scion of a tantrum in the store. The ability to wait - it's something else. Think about it, when you have a desire to move a child from a convenient cradle into a new stroller, to give him his first solid foods early, although WHO recommends do it not earlier than 5-6 months, as well as the seat crumbs on the couch, propped up by pillows, even before he has learned to sit independently, to send his son into the garden or puncture daughter ears. Everything has its time.
Foresight. A good parent should be ready for any kind of force majeure. Go for a walk grab wipes and diapers - a pipsqueak can dirty them, you do not have time to roll out the pram on the street. And at the same time take on the mantle stroller suddenly rain. And snack, toys, change of clothes and a favorite teddy bear, without which the crumb eye somknet. Better to let all your worries will be wrong, but you have to be ready for anything.
Inscrutable face.Equanimity you will need as soon as you become pregnant. After all, childless friends, older relatives or just neighbors on the landing immediately begin to pester you with stupid questions and useless advice.
Learn not to waste time and energy arguing with them, and just do as you see right. And even when on a visit to the six-month crumbs will bring grandma and baby jar of pickles (you did at his age already with soup bacon dimmed, and a hungry child) and Chinese bobblehead made of plastic with a unique flavor, and simply thank smile. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
