As a mom with young kids, I want my kids to know I am their biggest fan and cheerleader. I want to set an example for them just as I looked up to my parents and for some sort of direction. As a parent, I feel it is my duty to motivate my kids in life and help them when they need it. Whether it is their education, sports, hobbies, I want to motivate them to be the best that they can be. And even so I know convincing my kids to do things they don’t want to do can be challenging.
iMOM gives great tips on how to motivate your children. I have used some already and thought I would share this article with you!
