Building Relationships is What It’s All About

You know how everyone says your kids grow up in the blink of an eye? They do. They really, really do. I’ve watched my funny, blonde hair, sometimes slightly crazy toddler girl transform into a beautiful inside and out, caring, young lady who is nearing her 18th birthday. My quiet, wise beyond his years, smile can light up a room, middle son is now a man who helps calm me in stressful situations and makes sure I get at least 4 workouts in a week. My didn’t think sleeping was important, liked to throw fits walking into preschool, baby of the family has turned into a young man who loves life, wants to know a little bit about everything and is so kind to kids younger than himself.

Where has the time gone?

When my kids were younger, I was always thinking about their next stage and couldn’t wait to get to it. I can’t wait until they can feed themselves. I can’t wait until they’re potty trained. I can’t wait until they don’t rely on me so much for everything. I can’t wait until they’re older.

Today, I CAN wait.

Lately I’ve been trying to slow down, focus on the stage of life we’re in right now and soak it all in. I’ve been putting more importance on relationship and building my kids up, rather than correcting and hurrying from point A to point B. (That hurrying thing is a major issue for me.)

The teenage years are about just that – building a relationship that will last your lifetime. I tell my kids all the time that the relationships they build will their siblings now, the words they choose to use when they speak to each other now and the way they treat each other now, will have a great impact on their relationship in the future. Your siblings can be some of your best friends when you’re an adult and that’s an amazing thing to look forward to. It’s the same with my husband and I with our kids. The foundation we’re building with our kids today, is one that will carry over to tomorrow and for years to come.

If I had to narrow my motherly wisdom down to one sentence it would be: Strive to have a home that focuses on building strong relationships where you compliment more than you put down, laugh more than you frown and let things go more than you hold on.

Now it’s YOUR turn! I know you all have motherly wisdom to share and Rack Room Shoes (and me!) would love to hear it.
