The other day my friends and I were talking about our experiences as parents.

How we’ve perhaps taken steps in disciplining our kids and kind of ‘regret’ our approach afterwards. How we’ve responded or reacted in ways that we feel we shouldn’t have. How there are times when we feel we just can’t do the ‘job’ well.

Anyway. I think no one can instantly become good parents. We (need to) continually learn, improve and grow. Regardless of our age and our kids’ age.

Personally I learn and seek insights from books, the Bible and its principles (of course), websites as well as advices (and sharings) from friends, parents, other parents, their experiences, even the ‘mistakes’ they’ve done. I learn a lot too from sermons and fellowships. My hubby and I share, review and talk about parenting stuff too. And of course I learn most from my own actions. My own mistakes.

I’m (very) far from perfect, but I know that’s okay because I know I love my kids and I will strive to learn and become a good parent for them.

Parenting. Always a life-long learning journey.
