Children are not Tamagotchis. They won't just do and say what they're told. They are little humans with feelings and minds of their own.
Please note: I am not attempting to be a parenting coach. I am simply exposing what I feel passionate about and I know a lot of others will and do relate to.
In this episode I share my perspectives and approach to the (ridiculous) pressures we can feel as parents in this day and age, in the hope that it may bring you some relief (and a giggle or two).
In this episode I speak about:
- the pressure on Mums today
- the toxic expectations put upon parents and children
- why children's emotions matter too
- finding my truth and becoming the woman and MOTHER I want to be
- my approach to the things and people that may judge and push their opinions onto us
- why I said no to sleep training Matilda as a baby
- you're not wrong — and you're not failing as a Mum!
- maternal 'rage' and how I felt before I got therapy
Themes: parenting, motherhood, mental health, healing, matrescence
At the end, I share a poem written by Karen McMillan.
