Stacey Solomon is a great mum.

This we are all well aware of.

Mum to nine-year-old Zachery and five-year-old Leighton, it almost seems like every day that Stacey’s sharing adorable videos of her boys or gushing over them in an Instagram post.

Lucky for us then that Stacey has shared her top tips for successful parenting – including the one thing you’d want to do to make sure that you’re a great parent.

And that’s doing what works for you and not paying attention to anybody who judges your parenting.

The singer and TV presenter said:

“Do what works for you. Don’t worry about what everyone else tells you.

“Parenting’s different for everyone and we have to adapt to our surroundings and situations.

“Accept that you are doing a great job, you’re doing what’s right for you and them and just keep going. I think the biggest/greatest achievement anyone will ever do is raising their kids.

“So far, even though I say it myself, I think I’ve done a great job – my boys are pretty fantastic.”

The mum-of-two also said that the hardest thing about being a parent was the guilt that came with it.

She said she often second-guesses herself and the decisions she makes for her children.

“For some reason, I feel like there’s something in me that’s already programmed to question every decision I make when it comes to my kids.

“I really have to fight against that and reassure myself that I’ll always do what I think is best.”
