Patience, love, compassion are a few qualities a good mother possesses. Beth Uale might also add an ounce of creativity—the ability to change plans and compromise so everyone wins. She was recently named Hawaii Mother of the Year and will represent the state at the 2004 National American Mother Awards, to be held Tuesday through May 1, in Puerto Rico.
Beth is a member of the church and majored in music at
BYU-Hawaii
Teaching values began with not caving in to the childrens’ demands for instant gratification. “When the children wanted a Playstation, we told them that it was a ‘want’ and not a ‘need,’ so they had to earn their own money from their paper route to get it. “When they asked if we could upgrade their system, same answer; so they had to trade in their system and earn more money to get a new one. This helped them to learn to work hard for things they wanted.”
Congratulations and good luck!
