The Mum Mental Load Reset | Parenting, Mum Burnout, Emotional Health & Overwhelm

If you're a mum, you are 100% aware of the amount of effort, energy, planning and organisation go into cooking your children and family healthy meals. But WOW - that can really snowball over time, leading us into the brain fog and 'didn't we have that two nights ago' moment.

Or, you might end up eating less-than-ideal meals, and setting a bad example to your growing kids.

Regardless of what you choose for meals, though, creating a weekly meal plan means you can really be more prepared and then have mental space in that area instead of mental load.

If you need support when it comes to your own mental load, and someone to chat to who gets it - email me at [email protected] for more information about Zoom consults for mums who need support!

Join Miranda and the crew in the FB group, Mental Load Reset for Mums - and/ or share a pic of the meal plan printable you can grab from the link below, to save yourself stacks of time!

Need some more parenting tips for toddlers? A bit overwhelmed with the sudden, or not-so-sudden, behaviour from your little people?

These tried-and-true techniques and strategies range from dealing with the constant 'NO's' of toddler parenthood, to building connection - not to mention a little conversation around resilience.

Courage, dear heart - toddlerdom is not toddler-doom, even if it feels like it sometimes. God has given us these kids for us to love, train and teach - and while it's daunting, you've got it, Mama!

-your own sense of overwhelm, struggle and emotional regulation

Ok, in this case, nobody is 'perfect', but teaching your children these three child social skills is extremely important for not only their school and social life, but their workplace, marriage, and understanding themselves and others in their role in the community.

Also, learning these skills will help your child (and YOU!) give and receive more respect, love, affirmation, truth and be able to express their differences more effectively, and with more love. Why wouldn't you want that?

Stick with me as we go through 3 main child social skills that you really need to be working on with your child.
