Raising Superheroes (Supermom Tips)

There's a famous African proverb that goes like, "It takes an entire village to raise a child"; meaning to say that, every individual in the circle of community has to play a significant role in order to ensure a good upbringing of the young generation.

Then, what does it take to raise children? The answer is, I would say, a supermom, or dad (or both, perhaps?).


Who is a Supermom? 

1) A Supermom is Not Superhuman
She is not defined by any supernatural ability. She doesn't necessarily have to conquer any villain that troubles the family, but she will definitely protect them by all means. She may not be able to fly to her kids in a blink of an eye, but she's the first reachable person who will always stand by their side. Kryptonite doesn't make her weak, but sadness and loneliness surely do.

2) A Supermom is Not Perfect
She may not be perfect,  but her imperfection is what makes her strong. She hides her pain and sorrow so that she can be the backbone of the family. She nags and yells a lot, but her words can move others.  She sighs too much, but her actions are louder than her words. She worries about everything and she thinks too much,  yet her tears and sweats are the lubricants that keep the family going. She may be fragile at the outside,  yet her strong will is actually driven by that fear and anxiety. 

3) A Supermom's Love is Rare 
As a mother,  her love is unconditional, yet difficult to describe. At once, her parental love can be sweet and fierce. Sometimes, her love can also be tough, but the wisdom given is pure and priceless. She knows how to balance between the need to develop strong-willed children and the urge to nurture their creativity. Her different quality of love is seen from the way she instill the values of self-discipline, determination, selflessness, and strong morality so that her children can have a better start in their life. Above all, as every mother is, she is indeed her child's first love.  

4) A Supermom is a Powermom
A Supermom is gifted with several secret powers. Either working or not, she is a great multitasker who can navigate her daily responsibilities wisely and effectively. Her innate intuition is another unique trait in which she always secure the family with her motherly instinct. A supermom is also a good 'finder and keeper'. You lost something, she'll find it. You scattered things around, she'll manage it. In addition to that, you should never underestimate a supermom's powerful sight and hearing abilities. She can see through to your very soul and she can sense trouble in your silence. Although she might not be "Mr. Google" like daddy, a supermom will always provide just the remedy and care you need to ease the sufferings.

In summary, a supermom is the true definition of a mother.  She is not fictional. She is real. She is everywhere. I always believe that there is no such thing as a good mother and a bad mother, for the word "mother" itself is a real symbolization and representation of a pure and unconditional love.
