  • Proud to be an Imperfect Mother :SMU59

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode I am sharing about the feeling of being an Imperfect Mother, which I personally love, and being like that is “Proud to be an Imperfect Mother”- I am embracing this tagline.

     Motherhood is an extraordinary journey filled with love, joy, and endless moments of self-discovery. As mothers, we often strive for perfection, hoping to be the epitome of nurturing, selfless, and patient caregivers. 

    However, in this pursuit of perfection, we sometimes forget that it is the imperfections that make us human and unique. Grabbing our flaws and celebrating our imperfections is essential for not only our well-being but also for building authentic connections with our children. Being a proud imperfect mother is not a weakness; it is a source of strength, growth, and love.

    As mothers, we are bombarded with societal expectations and portrayals of "perfect" parenting. But in truth, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to motherhood. Each child is different, and each mother's journey is distinct. 

    Embracing authenticity means acknowledging that we may not have all the answers, and that's okay. We learn and grow along with our children, making mistakes, and celebrating every success together.

    Being proud to be an imperfect mother means embracing the messy, chaotic, and beautiful reality of motherhood. It is about letting go of unrealistic expectations and societal pressures and choosing to love ourselves unconditionally. Our imperfections do not define our worth as mothers; they enrich our journey, teaching us valuable lessons along the way. 

    By accepting and celebrating our imperfections, we cultivate a nurturing environment where our children can grow, learn, and flourish, knowing that they, too, are loved and accepted for who they are. So, let us wear our imperfections with pride and continue this remarkable journey of motherhood with authenticity, resilience, and unconditional love.

  • Impact of Parental Conflict On Children's Mental Health : SMU56

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, I am sharing the details about how Parental Conflict often affects Children's Mental health. This is a very important topic to talk about and discuss because we parents fight and take out all our frustration but think about those small souls who had done nothing but the impact on their minds is horrible and throughout their life, it keeps on effect.  

    A child's mental health can be significantly impacted by their parents' bad relationship. The quality of the parental relationship is an important factor in a child's overall well-being and development But a few elements which hit badly in Children's Mental  health are;

    Emotional distress: Witnessing constant conflict, hostility, or violence between parents can cause significant emotional distress for a child. They may feel anxious, scared, or helpless, which can lead to long-term emotional difficulties. 

    Insecurity and instability: A turbulent relationship between parents can create an unstable and unpredictable home environment. This lack of stability can make a child feel insecure, affecting their sense of safety and ability to trust others. 

    Going down self-esteem in Child is possible for various reasons, I mean to say if the children is in school and the teacher scolds them for their bad performance or nuisance their self-esteem becomes very low, but this starts always at home when they witness their parents fighting often and which in turn create a negative impact on them. 

    Have you ever wondered why some kids behave very weirdly in front of people or even in school, you know why? because of their disturbing minds, or their behavioral problems? Starts from home when they are exposed to a hostile or unhealthy parental relationship and may exhibit behavioral problems such as aggression, defiance, or withdrawal. 

    We being Parents always blame kids for not performing in school, but have you wondered what the reason behind this is, we always insist them concentrate on their studies but they fail to give proper focus On their work because of a disturbed mind and their struggle become double in the academic front. 

    Better relationships at home with parents and Children create a very positive impact in kid’s life. Because it helps kids to become open about their thoughts and share their potential ideas with parents and the world. But if they are Growing up in an environment with a bad parental relationship can shape a child's future relationships. 

    How many of us really give thought to the Mental health issues of our Child: Prolonged exposure to parental conflict can increase the risk of developing mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The ongoing stress and emotional turmoil can have a lasting impact on a child's psychological well-being.

  • Sofia Bella Roma :(Super Mother, Attorney Lawyer & Author of "Mother Knows Worst" book) :SMU54

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, I am having a conversation with Sofia Bella Roma who is a Mother of 
     a handsome Prince, A renowned Lawyer, and the beautiful wife of her ex-husband, but it wasn’t all ex, how does this circumstance come to her life where she has to started managing everything on her own, even though she had started taking her son to court when he was just 03 months old, it's commendable, 

    She has recently published her book "Mother Knows Worst" where there is an Italian girl name Rose falls in love with an Indian boy, and their future looks bright but what happened next, why they are no more together? When two different cultures met and collided they often have distinct values, beliefs, and norms. When these clash, it can lead to disagreements and conflicts. Each culture has its own way of viewing the world, societal roles, and moral standards, which can create misunderstandings and tension. There were also several communication Challenges that had different communication styles that complicate interactions between cultures.

    Without proper communication leads to misinterpretations, misunderstandings, and frustration may arise when trying to express ideas or intentions. Effective communication strategies like active listening and seeking clarification, can help bridge the gap. It's very important in a relationship.

    Being a Single Mother she is very strong and determined to have the best life for her son, she makes sure to enjoy the pregnancy journey, buying the best things for her son, and make organic food that is nonallergic.

    She always believed in eco-friendly products for her child and never used anything like wet tissues for her baby. She makes her own cotton napkins to use for her baby's skin.

    She was helpless when her baby was born having no better place to keep her baby hence she started taking her son with her to the workplace (Court) when he was just 03 months old. But that step not only help in her career it also boost her son's command of vocabulary. As per his teacher, Sofia's son is way better at vocabulary than any other child in his class. I am truly inspired by her story. This only shows if you believe in your mind to do things you can definitely accomplish in your life.

  • The Challenges and rewards of being a new mother : SMU53

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, I am sharing details about The challenges and rewards of being a new mother. Being a new mother can be an incredibly challenging and rewarding experience. Here are some of the challenges and rewards you might experience,

    Lack of sleep: Newborns typically require frequent feedings and diaper changes, which can lead to sleep deprivation for new mothers. Lack of sleep is a common issue for new mothers, especially in the first few months after giving birth. This is because newborns typically wake up frequently throughout the night to be fed, changed, or comforted.

    Physical recovery: Giving birth is a significant physical event that can take a toll on a new mother's body. Recovery can take weeks or even months. Physical recovery is another important aspect of postpartum care for new mothers. 

    Adjusting to a new routine: Having a baby changes your daily routine and can be difficult to adjust to, especially if you are returning to work or have other responsibilities. Adjusting to a new routine is a common challenge for new mothers. Caring for a newborn can be a demanding and exhausting experience, and it can take time to establish a new routine that works for both the mother and the baby.

    Postpartum depression: Many new mothers experience postpartum depression, which can make it difficult to bond with the baby and lead to feelings of sadness or hopelessness. Postpartum depression (PPD) is a common condition that can affect new mothers after childbirth. PPD can occur anytime within the first year after giving birth and is characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, fatigue, and disinterest in activities that were once enjoyable.

    Dealing with unsolicited advice: New mothers may be inundated with well-meaning advice from family and friends, which can be overwhelming and conflicting. Dealing with unsolicited advice is a common challenge for new mothers. While some advice can be helpful and well-intentioned, unsolicited advice can also be overwhelming and add to the stress of adjusting to a new role as a parent.

    When there are several challenges in a new mother's life, there are rewards too which are magical,

    Bonding with your baby: The bond between a mother and her child is one of the most rewarding experiences of motherhood. Bonding with your baby is an important aspect of postpartum care for new mothers. Bonding is the process of developing a strong emotional connection between a parent and a child, and it can have a positive impact on the physical, emotional, and social development of the baby.

    Watching your baby grow: As your baby grows and develops, you'll witness their milestones and accomplishments, which can be incredibly fulfilling. Watching your baby grow can be one of the most rewarding experiences of motherhood. 

    Sense of purpose: Many new mothers find a sense of purpose in caring for their Children and helping them grow. The sense of purpose of a new mother can vary from person to person, but generally.

    Community of support: New mothers often find support and camaraderie with other new moms, which can help alleviate some of the challenges of motherhood. Building a community of support for new mothers is incredibly important.

  • Motherhood Challenges in the Modern World : SMU51

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, I am sharing about Motherhood challenges. Being a mother every challenges and struggles are unique and but how can we cherish those moments later by making these challenges less stressful? 

     There are several challenges mothers are facing on an everyday basis, but a few I am listing down which I personally realized post Covid-19,

     · Digital addiction: Children of all ages are hooked to cell phones these days. We can’t blame our kids, it’s all about us, parents are also responsible for this act because we have always hooked ourselves to our phones and browsed through the day, then how come we can restrict our children from these gadgets? They find it really interesting when they watch us on phone. 

    · Fussy eating habits: This problem is basically with 90% of the parents who are facing this issue on an everyday basis. Till the age of 02 years, kids are really fussy with their food habits. Even my daughter is a big-time fussy eater. The struggle started when my daughter started having semiliquid food and the process is still on. She is very fussy because of the taste factor. 

    · Unwilling to study: this is also a habit that most of the kids are down with, their willingness to study is very less. It has a reason because they find it interesting to study together in class with their friends. They feel the joy of giving answers first and taking credit from the teacher. 

     · Aggression: Aggression in kids is very common because when they grow their thought process changes so the demands for small things start, and they even don’t have any idea. One thing which I have realized with my daughter is, she doesn’t love the instructions, she loves to be a part of my work. She loves to help me in the kitchen. Discipline is a way of teaching and a way of enhancing a good parent-child relationship. 

    Given the unique struggles that mothers face, it is essential that we learn how to manage our resources efficiently. Mothers can benefit from budgeting, seeking out support networks, and advocating for their children’s needs. Additionally, we may find strength and solace in participating in social activities with other mothers in similar situations. With the right skills and resources, we can build strong, secure foundations for our children.

  • Helping Kids Get Over Their Fear : SMU50

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this episode, I am sharing about kids' fear, we feel it's very normal but it’s not.

    Have you all seen one thing which is very common in our kids fear, they often fear small things. 

    Have we ever wondered, if this fear is a natural behavior of a child or because of the surrounding kids getting this fear?

    I believe there are certain situations where we parents are also responsible for this fearful behavior. I have personally realized how my parents used to make me aware of things, like don’t go near dogs they bite. And then stay away from dark places, something can harm you. I still remember I was very scared to check under beds at night, I used to fear far loud noises like thunder. 

    Same time even the concept behind parents make us cautious about a few things definitely for our betterment but slowly it creates a fear space in our heart. 

    What I have seen personally in my daughter when she was an infant is she needs me every time. She cries when I am away. I used to Comfort her by saying, "It's OK, you're safe, I'm here." Let our children know we're there to protect them. Give hugs and soothing words to help your child feel safe.

     Most kids cope with normal fears with gentle support from their parents as they grow, they get over fears they had at a younger age.

    Some kids have a harder time and need more help with fears. If fears are extreme or keep a child from doing normal things, it might be a sign of an anxiety disorder.

    Being parent what we can do is to make situations very normal for them and make them realize that if things are bad there are ways to handle them rather than getting panicked. We can calm down and solve every issue, it’s not a matter to scare it’s all about facing them with courage.
