1. “If parents want to give their children a gift, the best thing they can do is teach them to embrace challenges, enjoy mistakes, strive for improvement, and never stop learning. That way, their children won't become slaves to praise. They will have a lifelong path to building and repairing their own self-confidence.” – Carol Dweck

The best thing you can do for your child is to teach them how to handle obstacles skillfully. If they can see challenges as exciting learning opportunities, your child will surely succeed and live a happy life. When a child has a motivated mindset, they will learn to feel confident in their abilities even without praise.

2. “I wholeheartedly believe that when we fully engage in raising our children, no matter how imperfect, vulnerable, and messy it may be, we are creating something sacred.” – Brene Brown

These quotes serve as a wonderful reminder that you don't need to be a perfect parent, but you must be there for your children through both the good and the bad times. Your presence and commitment as a parent forges a sacred and unbreakable bond. Raising children is not easy and unpredictable, but simply sowing and nurturing those beautiful seeds makes it more special than anything else.

3. “Live in the moment and make it so beautiful that it's memorable.” – Fanny Crosby

When you spend time with your children, don't stress about anything else. Put aside thoughts of the past and the future because living in the present is more important. When you cherish the present, you can create a beautiful life that your children will remember forever.

4. “It’s not what you do for your children, but what you teach them to do for themselves that makes them successful.” – Ann Landers

Although it might be easy to do everything for your children, you should let them do things themselves. When you teach children to do things for themselves, you're also teaching them success. Your child not only learns self-care but also boosts their self-confidence. Every time you let your child do something on their own, it shows them that you trust them. In turn, they also trust themselves a little more and are motivated to do it more often.

5. “Don’t compare your child to others. There’s no comparison between the sun and the moon. They shine when it’s their time.”

Every child is different and they will develop at their own pace. As parents, it's important to remember not to compare your child to anyone else. Even sibling comparisons are detrimental to a child's overall mental health. Remember this the next time your child isn't ready for something that others are.

8. “There are no perfect parents. So, just be yourself.” – Sue Atkins

No one is perfect, even if they pretend to be. Don't hide your flaws because everyone has them. Instead, be a genuine person by acknowledging your mistakes and doing your best.

9. “While we try to teach our children about life, ultimately our children teach us the meaning of life.” – Angela Schwindt

You don't know what life is until you start raising children. Children have a way of opening their eyes to all the good things in the world . As you teach your children how to live and survive, make sure you also absorb what they are teaching you.
