sharing is caring

...... i alwayz bz with my routine as working mama.... to have my own sweeet time reading my favret book and magazine is jus impossible.... after working hours, to spend my time in da kitchen for atleast 1 hour to cook for our dinner..... we normally eat before maghrib.....

after prayer... no other things to do except to look for my gurl.... she alwayz wanna us to read her favret books, play with her legos..... and watching cartoons together......... its so sweet when the gurl say something to you that touchs ur heart... and when she kisses and hugs u...... i really-really appreaciate this moments.......

i jus finished read one book by Nancy Krulik 2 days ago... .....
the title 'Raise your Child's Self Esteem- 99 easy things to do'.....
juz wanna share my reading with all my frens out there.... lets check it out

self esteem isn't something u'r born with. remember that, every child is special. each one has unique talents and abilities that set him/her apart from anyone else. it's our job as parents to make sure that our children know just how remarkable they are......


1. tell ur child u LOVE him/her atleast once a day
my comments- the more the better

2. take ur child's feeling seriously
my comment- jus understand their feeling is not enough

3. let ur child know its OK to make mistakes
my comment- there is no such perfect person in this world ... everybody tend to make mistakes. admit your own!

4. laugh at ur child's jokes even when u dont get them
my comment- do u have to pay for ur laugh?.... the researcher said 'byk ketawa, pnjg umur!...' soo we jus try..... :)

5. praise ur child's efforts without worrying about the results
my comment- parents to respect ur child's ideas. be positive after all....

6. take ur child's picture each year. dont forget to look back to see how much he's/she's grown
my comment- people tend to forget thing easily...... by keeping the pic..... the memories remain

7. encourage ur child to ask questions and research the answer together
my comment-

8. teach ur child that 'can't' is not forever. with a little hard work and skill... 'i can't' will turns into 'i can'.....

9. resist the urge to say 'i told u so....'
my comment- nobody like that word..... am i right?

10. pay attention to ur child's random acts of kindness and be sure to thank her for them

11. don't treat all of ur children exactly alike.
my comment- plsss try not to compare u child each other. each one has different needs, ideas, attitudes, potentials etc... appreciate ur child!

12. talk out ur disagreements with ur child. if u give him/her the silent treatment now, he/she's liable to give it back to u later

13. don't let ur child go to bed angry with u / thinking that u r angry with him
my comment- for sure, he/she will has a bad horrifying terrible dream that night!

14. teach ur child that all people are entitled to their own points of view. and respect that ur child has his own point of view too

15. keep ur child's secrets- unless keeping them will be harmful to her well being

16. let ur child cry if he/she needs to.

17. try not to bring ur work home with u. there must be border between ur office and ur home

18. always say gud bye before u leave... and promise to see them once u finished ur work....

19. make a feelings chart with ur child. list all the emotions ur child can think. each day, ask ur child the way she feels and what makes her feel that way...

20. wear ur child's picture in a locket around ur neck/ carry a wallet sized snapshot wherever u go....


insyaAllah, to be continued
