Successful & Famous mothers of Calgary, share their parenting tips

Mothers have to balance many roles on a day to day basis. Dragons’ Den Dragon, Manjit Minhas shares her notes on parenting.

Here are 10 Mom-advices I know and believe in:

• Life is boring for boring people. Boredom is a condition you bring upon yourself. In other words, have lot of interests and projects to work on for you to enjoy in life.
• Nothing wonderful goes on after midnight. Go to sleep on time.
• Turn off the lights when you leave a room. It is good for the environment and your mom’s mood.
• There is no substitute for hard work, and it keeps you away from trouble. If somebody tells you otherwise, they are lying.
• Whatever you do, do it well, and always have fun.
• Do not let your bottom grow into the shape of your chair. This means be active every day.
• Love your mom. She is not going to be around forever and once she is gone, you will miss her terribly as there is no substitute for having mom around.
• Moms says things that are sometimes painful but she always has your best interest at heart. Everybody in this world may be jealous of you but never your mom.
• Always dress your best — first impressions count and besides, it is respectful to people around you.
• Laughing at yourself is the best medicine.
