Mommy Monologues

Children can be as sweet as pie. They can be witty and extremely observant. They are quick learners and they are the best teachers as well. But just like us, they are still learning themselves: their likes and dislikes, wants and desires but most importantly, they are doing things to see how far they can go. And in order to do that, they have to test our boundaries. They have to push our limits. As a mom, this can be frustrating and extremely difficult to navigate, especially if you have multiple children. But in this episode, Kam pinpoints a few tactics that can help us mommies utilize these flustering moments as opportunities to strengthen the dynamic between you and your child instead of allowing it to create negative space! Press play and gain some amazing insight on just how!

As moms, it is so easy to put on our cape and save our children from whatever is harming them or has the power to harm them. Showing up for them in the physical is actually quite easy. So easy that we are fooled early on into thinking it’s the form of protection that matters most, but is it? In this episode, Kam touches on other forms of protection that she’s come to realize are much more important than physical protection. Children also need to be mental and emotionally protected as well. And even though we know how we want to protect them, as they grow older, we have to start acknowledging the ways that they WANT to be protected, the protection that actually makes them feel safe. So press play and take this opportunity to get some tips and some insight on what it means to be a true mama bear!
