Hey busy mom, did you forget we need rest days?

The importance of rest is vital to our health and so necessary that we make it a priority to have guilt free rest days with our families.

Don't stress that your child does not have their schedule mapped out perfectly.

We give you the okay to stop overscheduling and make room for free play.  I know we are all searching for kid's activities hoping to enhance your child's development but please trust that they learn as much just playing and exploring on their own.

Mom guilt is serious when you feel like your little ones are always bored but it's ok to be bored. Take advantage and rest or do something that is energizing for the body like getting into nature, or going for walks.

Are you worried about your kids depending too much on you? Well, we are their parents, aren't we? The best road to independence is through what's called INTERdependence.

They should be able to depend on us, which makes for a healthy relationship. Gentle parenting or attachment parenting is about building that foundation of trust so our kids feel comfortable becoming independent.

Independence is a normal and natural process for our kids. They want to learn how to do things on their own. It gives them a sense of pride.   

In this episode you will learn why it is ok not to rush potty training, learning to walk, brush teeth,  get dressed and read on their own.  And when they do learn these things know that there will be regression at times. It's all part of the non-linear road to becoming truly independent.

What may seem like little feelings to us can be big feelings for our kids. These feelings can build up inside and lead to many behaviors that we may not like, which is why it is so important to let your kids know that we are here for them.

This is the foundation of gentle parenting. It is about mutual respect, teaching kids to manage their emotions, and modeling the behavior you want to see.

This style of parenting is recommended by most child development experts because:
It’s better for kids’ AND parents’ mental health
It fosters a stronger parent-child relationship
It’s more effective for managing behavior in the long run

In this episode, we talk about how this looks and why it is so important.

How do we explain death to our kids?

We may see it in our families, with pets, or even with family friends. But are our kids too young to know and understand death?

It seems like a heavy discussion for someone so little but we should know how to approach the conversation. Amma Lisa shares some great advice about how we can make them feel more comfortable with their grief.

Everyone has a different grieving process but it is important to allow our kids to have and share their big feelings.

Are you sleep training? Have you heard of the cry it out method?

Well we are here to tell you it might not work. There are better ways and we hope you get something out of this episode like not using the cry it out method. 

It is ok to hold your baby.

Our babies need us and you cannot ‘spoil’ a baby. If they need to be held and feel their mothers body close to theirs, that is normal. We are here to give you permission to hold those babies, sleep with them, rock them, soothe them.

This stage won’t last for long and before we know it they won’t want anything to do with us! Hold those babies mamas!

I was put in time-outs and always thought I would give my kids time out just like I experienced growing up. I was going to 'discipline' my kids the way I was... except this week Amma Lisa teaches Mama Sareena how it actually doesn't work to get our desired results .

Our kid's misbehavior is usually a sign of a different issue. May it be attention, hunger, or tiredness and it is our jobs as parents to recognize these cues before we get the unwanted behavior.

It is important to set boundaries and let our children know what they are.  This week we talk about what that looks like!
