Training Daughters to Become Responsible Mothers

Section A: Girlhood

During the stage of girlhood, each parent should understand that girls will experiment with many things, which will give them personal life experiences and various valuable lessons. This is a critical stage at which every parent needs to train and develop their daughters. Imparting good values, morals, mannerisms, and other key training to daughters through the early phase of their lives is important, as it sets a good foundation for their future.
Parents will face many challenges in the process of training their daughters during those girlhood days, but they must not give up on guiding their daughters. This will help their daughters become valuable women, women who will be a great asset to their offspring, especially their daughters, and to their families as a whole. There is a great need for more girls to be properly trained so that when they become mothers, their husbands and children will continuously celebrate them.
Girls need guidance. While external people can provide some guidance, it is often good for them to receive guidance from their parents and siblings. Parents are often able to identify their children’s strengths and weaknesses and know how to help them. Proper guidance and encouragement can result in children quickly overcoming weaknesses and, therefore, becoming valuable resources to their parents and societies.
Educating girls is essential for ensuring that they play important roles in our societies in the future. Education has no gender bias, so parents have to ensure that their daughters are properly educated. Sports and games are also crucial for girls, as they learn to be disciplined and cooperate with others. Through sports, team spirit and accountability will be learned, and girls can take those qualities into their relationships when they become wives.
Parents must train their children to respect everyone. Girls may sometimes show some resistance to this, but as parents constantly remind their daughters about it, many of those girls will respect everyone, and people will begin to talk about how mannerly those girls are.
Girls may learn about sex from schoolmates, neighbours, and other people, but the information they learn is sometimes incorrect. Therefore, parents must be among the major teachers of sexual education in their homes. The experience that parents have is reasonable enough to guide their daughters. Parents should guide their daughters on being in a relationship, emphasising that there are more important things than sex in a relationship. This guidance is essential for girls of adolescent age. Both daughters and sons must become aware of family planning before they enter into relationships.

Section B: Womanhood

When daughters move from girlhood to womanhood, they have entered another critical phase in their lives. They are expected to demonstrate many of the things that their parents taught them. There are some areas in which these women will still need to improve, which they will do as they put into practice what they have learned from their parents. Practice will allow them to gather the bit of knowledge their parents couldn’t teach.
During this phase of womanhood, women will put to the test the things they have learned from their parents and friends. Sometimes, they want to explore life. They are willing to take on new challenges, even if they fail. Gaining experience for oneself may yield either failure or success. Those who want to be successful must be willing to try, rather than spending most of their time only thinking of what it may be like.
There are many employment opportunities available for those who want to work. Some women must be willing to seek employment since they must not depend upon their parents or their partners for their financial needs. Many parents provide for their children at their younger stage of life, but when girls become women, they must show their independence. Being employed has many challenges and advantages.

The money women earn must be used wisely so that when they are ready to establish their own families, they have their portion of the money. In managing money, people need to increase their earnings, make investments, and carefully manage their spending. When women manage their money during their single life, they may be good stewards within their new family.
After women have their own families, some of them may still need to support their parents. The sacrifices some parents make for their children’s development may cause them to be without any finances in the future. When parents reach the age of retirement, their pension may not be substantial enough to meet their needs.
Women must always consider advancing their knowledge and skills. When girls leave school, there are many more opportunities for them to develop their academic qualifications and life skills. These developments will be important for their future promotion or opportunities for them to own businesses.
When a woman is looking for a companion, she may look for a man who knows how to do domestic activities. While she does not expect that he will be the only person doing domestic activities at home, at least his contribution will bring great relief to the family. Women who were taught by their parents to be involved in domestic activities must make great use of those skills, which will help their family to have more time for love and laughter.
Finding a companion may not be as easy as finding a job. Those who are looking for companions must have values and look for those who have the potential to make the family grow. There are many places to find a suitable companion. Once a person finds a companion and is reasonably satisfied with that individual, then it should be time to consider marriage.

Section C: Motherhood

Having a family is not a task for girls but for women who are committed and want to make a positive contribution to society. Some women are running away from family life, while others are running towards it. Not everyone knows that there is a great commitment for those who want to live with a companion and children.
When people are single, they have much freedom and are only accountable to themselves and probably their parents. However, when a person chooses a family and has children, then they are accountable to their companion and their children as well. This change in accountability is very great and may cause uneasiness with some people. However, there are many benefits to having a companion and offspring.
