Cynthia Quarcoo, the founder and managing partner of CQ Legal and Consulting has said it is possible to be a great mother and also achieve career success.
The mother of six believes women can achieve most of their dreams and aspirations if they adopt a strategic approach in working towards them.
Speaking to Kwaku Nhyira-Addo on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Tuesday( 4 January) on “Starting 2022 right, maintaining the right balance” Quarcoo said being a housewife alone is not a guarantee that one could raise their children well.
“If you ask me whether you can achieve career success and be a great mother, I’ll say yes, but it will always not be perfect, I know full-time mothers who stay home yet do not have the connection with their children and I know some career women who have great connections with their children,” she said.
“I recognised that God gave me six children for a reason and the reason was to be their first role model … do not be too hard on yourself; a lot of our role models do have their own weaknesses. Our weaknesses make us human and it is from this weakness that you can draw strength.”
Quarcoo advised parents to be transparent and truthful to their children.
“When I had cancer, I didn’t hide anything from my kids because it is important that you teach your children the truth of life; they are your legacy.”
