Yesterday I posted about how we talk with our children. I like to think I put thought into it most of the time, not just let it happen willy nilly.
I mean, we can just let mothering happen as in ‘life happens’ or let things just sort of happen on accident. But there’s an alternative to that.
There is one place I refer to in regards to learning and being reminded of healthy ways to do this thing called Mothering. It’s The Power of Moms. They have lots free resources (as well as a few you have to pay for) like articles and podcasts, that are a great resource for mothering on purpose, or as they call it deliberate mothering.
I’d like to be more thoughtful about how I mother. More intentional in the decisions I make in regards to how I raise my kiddos. This is one reason I think it is important to truly think about how we talk with our children, making the connection with them when we do. (Of course, there will be times when you just goof around with them, but here I’m talking about creating a connection, making them feel secure, important and loved when we talk.)
Here’s what they say…
In a nutshell, we believe that deliberate mothers are intentional about the way they live, the way they care for their families, and the way they grow themselves, as women.
I am an affiliate with Power of Moms, but only because I truly trust the advice I can find there. There is a wealth of free information on their site, this isn’t just a plug for you to buy something. If you are looking for ideas for more ways to connect with your kiddos and affirm your own identity as a mom and individual, I encourage you to check it out!
What I’d like for you to take away from this is that there are alternatives to just letting mothering happen. You can be intentional about the decisions you make. Your kiddos can get through this mothering thing on purpose, not just by accident! There are many more resources out there than just this one to encourage you along!
Please comment if there is a resource you like to use for support in your mothering adventure!
