You Are a Parent, Not a Superparent

1.

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.
