The Nurturing Parent: Respectful Parenting, Gentle Parenting, Toddler Behavior, Big Feelings, Regulate Emotions

Send a text

This week's discussion consists of Amma Lisa trying to convince us that there is no such thing as terrible twos... Maybe we need to look at it in another way to see they are really terrific twos!

Toddlers are just experiencing normal developmental stages. It is how we deal with these changes that guide it down a bumpy road or a not-as bumpy road. The better we understand what our kids are experiencing the better we can manage their "big feelings" with more compassion.

Depending on your parenting style during this stage it will greatly impact how our kids learn to interact with others. We want to support them and always make them feel secure and loved but also let them know when something is unacceptable because they are constantly in a process of learning.

Growing gardens are a lot like raising children. They both need love and attention, they thrive when they are in the sun, and they come with different needs that need to be individually tended to in order to help them grow best!

In this week's episode, we chat about gardening with our kids and the similarities between both of them. 

In our part of the world, it's getting warmer and plants are blossoming and blooming.  Here is a reminder to get outside with your kids and grandkids, play with some dirt, have fun and learn some lessons on patience and the beauty in nature.

The Grand Finale!

Mama Sareena finishes up her birth story with Amma Lisa and Midwife Sharon! While also getting into the topic of mastitis and clogged ducts because postpartum is a whole other journey that has its ups and downs.

Our mission was to educate and empower mothers walking into labor and delivery. We are all entitled to have the birth experience we want and it is possible when we come prepared. Remember that it is our body and our baby.

After these 5 weeks we get to hear Mama Sareena's birth story! Thanks to Midwife Sharon, she had an empowered birth experience with no epidural. Using the tools she learned throughout the interviews Sareena was more knowledgeable and was able to speak up to get what she wanted for her and her daughter.

Even her husband walked into this birth with more knowledge and power to stand up for his partner. You will hear part 1 of her birth story this week and finish up with the postpartum and transition next week. 

Hospital births can be very intimidating especially if you don't know what to expect so we hope that sharing this experience can give you more experience to know what could happen when the big day comes. Every experience will be different though and that does not make it less beautiful.

The last episode in our 5-part series preparing mothers for labor. This week we discuss how to create a birth plan to help our mamas get the best birth experience and feel empowered.

It is essential to take charge of your birth experience because you may not know if you will get another chance to go through it again. It is one of the most challenging but beautiful experiences you will ever have so make sure it is the experience you want!

You are in charge as it is your body, your baby and you run the show and not the doctors. They are there solely to catch the baby or make sure it is delivered safely.

After this 5-part series, we hope you mamas feel more confident and knowledgeable about your body and all the parts of getting your baby out in the most blissful way.

Delivering a baby has so many parts to it and in the midst of all the pain it is easy to throw everything out the window but if you come into it prepared with your support person on the same page we are sure you can make it a beautiful experience instead of a scary one if you are walking into the unknown!

We hope you enjoy and please share this podcast with any other expecting mothers or fathers as our mission is to help as many families as we could reach!

Sometimes, the reason we need these riskier birth interventions is because we have chosen a small intervention, which has led to a bigger intervention, which has then led to a riskier intervention. This is known as the cascade of interventions.

Knowledge is empowerment and this week, midwife Sharon, shares an abundance of knowledge on interventions.

What are some interventions? What may happen if you choose to accept the intervention and how to decide if you want the intervention.

Mama Sareena gave birth last week and welcomed Baby Aniston into our village! Thanks to this series she was able to have the birth experience she always wanted and felt much more confident advocating for her birth plan!

We can't wait to hear about her experience the 2nd time around after learning everything from speaking with the super loving and supportive midwife Sharon ❤️

Sometimes we get so caught up in preparing for birth and the pain that we are about to experience that we forget what the baby goes through during delivery!

When we are pregnant our babies only know the womb and are protected from bright lights, cold temperatures, loud noises, and are constantly being nourished. The journey out of their comfort zone is not an easy one either. They don't understand that they are separate from their mothers and what's waiting for them on the outside. 

Our guest, Sharon Tolagson joins us again for the second part, what happens to our baby during labour.  Learning what the baby goes through can help us plan and prepare for their experience after birth and how to best advocate for them! 

Please share this episode with any pregnant mamas you may know. It is filled with a wealth of knowledge and we hope to help educate and empower all those that are soon to be mothers or even if it is not your first child!

Do you actually know what is going on inside your body during labor?

Simply knowing and understanding how our bodies work when we are getting ready to give birth can make us feel more empowered going into it!

This week we have our first guest, Sharon Tolagson. Sharon is a very experienced midwife and registered nurse who is joining us for a five-part series to get our pregnant mamas ready for the most important day of our lives!

Please share this episode with any pregnant mamas you may know. It is filled with a wealth of knowledge and we have the discussions that most new mamas don't really have or hear about until we are going through it ourselves. And sometimes not even then! 

Education is empowerment and giving birth is also one of the most empowering things we can experience as women. Some mamas give birth not even understanding all that their bodies go through and learning these things can give us so much pride in ourselves!

What do you need for your newborn?

One thing  you will definitely need is a baby wrap! This is a baby registry must have and if you are not having a baby shower then get one yourself.  Even a used one since baby gear can be very pricey. 

But in this weeks episode we discuss the importance of baby wearing. It is great for bonding, soothing and building your babies security. 

We hope you enjoy this episode and please share any feedback or comments with us on our pages! We'd love to hear from you parents 🤍
