You are a parent; not a superparent.
First, you should be calm,
You should be composed.
Only then can you calm and help your child.
You are a parent; not a superparent.
First, you should be happy,
You should be satisfied.
Only then can you comfort and make your child happy.
You are a parent; not a superparent.
First, you should give your child a chance to explore,
A chance to try evreything.
Only then can the child learn and gain experience.
You are a parent; not a superparent.
So just be a parent; happy, satisfied.
and confident.
And you will naturally raise a confident, happy child.

You are a parent; not a super one.
No need to shine like the blazing sun.
Be calm, be still, let worries fade.
Only then can your child feel safe and stay unafraid.
You are a parent; not a flawless guide.
Be happy and satisfied inside.
When joy and peace in you are found.
Your child will feel that love all around.
You are a parent; not meant to control.
Give your child freedom; that’s your role.
A chance to try, to think, to grow.
That’s how true learning begins to show.
You are a parent; and that’s enough.
You don’t need to always be strong or tough.
Be happy, be sure, let pressure slide.
And raise a confident child with pride.
