Being a mother is a beautiful blessing. If someone had said these to me a few years ago that my greatest teacher would be my own child, I might have smiled that time and just brushed off that thought. But today, I’m a living example of how beautifully my child has moulded me as a parent.
Motherhood is different for everyone, and it has changed me in ways I never expected. I had imagined the sleepless night and messy bed, but I never knew she silently helped me sail through the journey. I conceived before the pandemic hit India and delivered during that difficult phase.
All thanks to my daughter, who helped us sail through the difficult phase. She taught me the importance of patience and presence. She helped me see how unconditional love and compassion can still be effective in today’s world. She made me realise that being kind always works in the most magical ways.
Her firsts made me realise the importance of seeing beauty in small yet ordinary moments – silently watching the coast, butterflies on the flowers, and the happiness on her face when she first put her foot on the beach, celebrating small victories and being grateful for every moment, and most importantly, dancing without any reason (I always loved doing it but somehow had slowed down due to work schedule).
Children have a beautiful way of slowing us down and showing us what really matters. There are days when I feel exhausted and hopeless, but one small hug and kiss from her calms me. It means the world to me. I feel grateful that she is my daughter and has changed my life in so many good ways.
Children have this beautiful way of slowing you down while showing you what really matters.
I have learned to speak kindly, listen closely, and forgive quickly. Most importantly, I now understand that I do not need to know everything. Growing with them is enough.
The most unexpected teacher in my life has a bright smile, ask endless questions, and calls me Mumma.

Good one. Yes, no doubt, our children can be wonderful teachers. After reading this post, I was just thinking how my son has taught me many little facets of life. Even now, though he is grown up and is employed, some of the things he tells me really opens my mind to new and different ways of approaching life situations.

That’s beautifully said. Their lessons stay with us through every stage of life, and sometimes they remind us to look at things with a different approach. Missed reading your posts, I will for sure check them 🙂
