#84 RERELEASE - Children Are Not Tamagotchis; Give Yourself A Break
Manage episode 489209017 series 3524816
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.
