What are some good ways to be a good mother?

Answer 1

Be there for your kids.. Hug them.. Tell them you love them.. Play games with your kids.. Read to them..

Being there and doing those little things mean more than any big things people do like taking them to disney and all of that-- that doesn't mean sh-t compared to just those little things..

Answer 2

Being a good mother calls for lots of love, attention, devotion, being open minded,caring, attentive,patient,and also showing some tuff love when needed.

Children are our future and we as parents must help show them the ropes but also allow them to learn from their own mistakes. So allowing your children to grow and not smoother them is also a good key point for mommys & daddys for that matter.

Listen... being able to listen without interupting allow children to talk freely and openly about anything.

Show interest in things they like to do and be involved.


Most of all just letting your child /children know that your there for them and there's nothing that you can't work out or try and fix together if need be.

Answer 3

A good mother loves her children unconditionally. She is firm, consistent and teaches them to be moral, loving, upstanding citizens. A good mother puts her children on the top of her list of priorities no matter what. A good mother teaches by example. All of the other things will fit into place as long as you follow the above.

Answer 4

well something I learned from my childhood is to never spoil a child because they are so much more graceful for what the got when they dont get much. When they are teens let them explore because they cant learn from something if they dont make mistakes and if they learn to fix them then they will have a better chance of surviving on her own.

Answer 5

The fact that you're asking the question tells me you'll probably be on track. Kids don't require perfection; they're sturdy enough to be raised by fallible folks.

That's good, because I'm pretty darn fallible.

Answer 6

1. Make sure you have a loving and caring father in the family to whom you are legally and lawfully married.
2. You read to your kids at every opportunity and give your children your most valuable asset--YOUR TIME.
3. Attend ball games, ball practices, dance recitals, piano recitals, school plays, church pageants, neighborhood competitions, and ANYTHING else your children are involved in.
4. You never, EVER, EVER criticize their father in front of them and he is to do the same towards you. You NEVER, EVER discuss marital problems in front of the children, EVER, EVER. Children do not need to know if you are financially strapped that month, nor if you are in danger of losing your job. You suck it up and hide the unpleasantness of adulthood from your children. You are to protect them from the cares and worries of adulthood. They will learn about that part of life soon enough.
5. You teach them moral behavior by living a moral life and by regularly attending a church. They will learn a great deal about moral behavior from regularly attending a church with their mother, father, and siblings.
6. You make sure they are doing their school work and earning good grades. If they are having trouble in a class you immediately intervene.
7. You teach them not to hang around with trashy people. Some people are high quality--some are trash. Teach them to recognize the difference and encourage them to make wise choices in choosing friends.
8. You spend money on things like "Hooked on Phonics" and not on Eminem, 50 Cent, or Snoop Dogg CDs or $300 basketball shoes. You teach them to have elevated tastes and to not fill their mind with garbage.
9. You praise them in front of other people ALL the time. They need to know that you are proud of them and their accomplishments.
10. You tastefully kiss and hug your husband in front of them ALL the time so that understand what a normal and healthy romantic relationship between one mother and one father should be like.
11. You do not put them through a divorce for some silly, childish, or stupid reason.


Now how to be a bad mother:

1. You get pregnant out of wedlock and then after they are born you bring boyfriends home to spend the night--teaching your daughters that their bodies are for boys to play with and then discard.
2. You spend time with friends rather than with them.
3. You give them money and toys rather than your time.
4. You let them choose all their own friends and you never know where in the hell they are. If they are out on a street corner with trashy kids at 3:00 in morning, you don't care, after all they are only kids.
5. You have several different sexual partners, teaching your kids that morals are unimportant and that sex is cheap and to be given to anyone that buys them a meal.
6. You select a career that requires you to be away from home on long business trips for much of the time and then justify it by telling your kids that mommy has to travel so that she can make lots of money for the family. Your children will not give a damn about the money--all they will know is that mommy is not home with them.


Good luck making the right choices, mom.
