Every year, on the first day of the year, we are asked to make aspirations and set new goals but often, we ended up setting too many goals which cannot be achieved. This year, I have only one goal, but one which is not easy to achieve.
All these while, I have been writing about my parenting approach. I'm touched that a few of my friends actually read what I wrote and they sometimes follow the approach. However, I feel there's something lacking. I have been through a difficult period last year, a struggle within myself. While I believe that positive parenting is the best parenting approach, I was not able to adhere to it. Sometimes, I hated myself for nagging too much, scolding and yelling at my children.
What I lack are discipline and persistence. If I want my children to have self discipline, I must first have it and if I set certain rules and routines, I should be persistent enough to ensure that my children follow them. So, this year, my only goal is to have discipline and persistence and only then I can help my children.
