What really matters in child development?

I am on this journey to become a good mother. Yes, I am a mother of a two year old. I have my ups and downs.  I am reading about parenting, discussing with friends. I want to teach him empathy, to be humble and kind. I want him to learn to be happy and to live in the present. I want him to be healthy.  I  have a long wish list for him.  This wish list does not include anything about learning or study. I  am trying to put a lot of efforts to teach him all the values.  Every time I give him food or I am cooking for him. I start thinking about teaching him good eating habits. Giving him more nutritious food.  Yes, I feel stressed and overwhelmed about everything as a parent.

Now, I am contemplating on this thought what really matters in child development.  Actually, the most important thing matters is how I behave, eat, drink and do things.  Nothing matters, when I think about myself as an adult. How I ate and what I ate has shaped me?  Why I am obsessed with eating healthy food? What bad food I am eating and how much I am eating?  I am trying to understand that what’s going on within my world. What I eat is determined by many factors. For example, what I can buy around me cheap?  Next if I have a little more money,  then I can buy from a health food store or organic food.

I am a mirror for my son. At this small age, they  learn through repeating and copying. This thought has helped me to stop worrying and start changing/ improving myself. He will be empathetic, happy, creative and healthy. I ask myself these questions.  Am I happy? Am I empathetic or creative. If, I get answer positive, then I do not have to do anything. If no, then I have to use my time to improve. 

Happy Parenting.
