You don’t have to lose your life while helping your kids to find theirs

By Oluwatobi Akintola

A lot of parents especially mothers tend to give up on themselves and their dreams once they start having kids. This is a very big undoing.

They try to console themselves that if they channel all their efforts in making their children successful, the children will become what they were not and in turn take care of them.

This is not always true!

Of course footing the bill at home as a father or taking care of the home as a mother can be so tasking and exhausting. Yet, it shouldn’t take away the zeal of actualizing your dreams . Both can be balanced and be made to work hand in hand.

When we as parents strive to actualize our dreams even with all our responsibilities, it helps to inform our children that they can likewise multitask and even be better.

This mindset will help us grow alongside our kids into becoming the best we can be.

Study when your kids study, learn when they learn, teach while they learn and play when they play.

Nothing else brings the joy of fulfilment than when we fulfill our dreams and aspirations and see our spouses and kids fulfill theirs too.

So Don’t kill that dream breathe life into it!
