When we correct our children, especially if they are sensitive, sometimes what they hear is, “You are bad.”

We need to make sure that we lead with empathy when we need to correct them.

If your child hits: “You must have been so upset to hit your brother. At the same time, sweetie, you can tell your brother how you feel. You don’t need to hit.”

When we lead with empathy and acknowledge our child’s point of view and their feelings, we are letting them know that we understand. They know we still think they are a good person even though they did something wrong. This is important not only for the development of healthy self-worth, but it helps a child take responsibility for their actions when they can do so without feeling shame. It is our empathy that lets them feel remorse: “I did a bad thing,” rather than shame, “I am a bad person.”

There is a great line-up that I am honoured to be a part of! Check it out- it started today 🙂 LINK IN BIO!

💐To the moms who are frequently disappointed on Mother’s Day 💐

I’ve been a mom for 21 years, but I waited 16 years to take charge of Mother's Day and I wish I had started a long time ago.

I spent *years* being disappointed on Mother's Day.

FINALLY a few years ago I made plans for the 5 of us to go out to lunch at one of my favourite restaurants and insisted that each child make me a card AND PUT SOME EFFORT IN IT!

I had the best day.

We've done it every year since. Well, until last year- Covid 🤨

This year (like last year) I’m going to make myself some cinnamon buns (my favourite treat!) and enjoy a leisurely day. My daughter (now that she’s older) has gotten pretty good about stuff like this so I imagine I’ll get some flowers from the garden.

My message to you is: Make sure you are getting what your heart desires even if you have to organize it yourself. Loving yourself is the best message you can send your children!

Take the day off, make a plan for your family, whatever a special day looks like to you. But please don't wait for other people to figure out what you want or need.

Happy Mother's Day! Sending you big love.

What will you be doing for yourself on Sunday?

When children don’t feel seen, heard and that th

When children don’t feel seen, heard and that they matter, there can be short-term effects (behaviour) and long-term effects (self-worth.)

Children who don’t feel seen might act out to ensure that we pay attention to them and that we can take care of them. Too busy taking care of the baby? Peeing in the laundry basket might be a good bid for attention. (One of my sons did this! 😆) Or they might not act up but they might conclude that they aren’t important.

Let them know that you see them by delighting in your child. It’s as simple as eye contact and a smile. Let the love you feel in your heart show on your face. Children first see themselves through our eyes.

Children who don’t feel understood might either turn up the volume (tantrums!) in an effort to be ‘heard’ or withdraw and give up. This can lead to feeling alone and a chip on their shoulder. They can also learn to not trust their own feelings if we don’t acknowledge them, leading to low self-confidence.

Let them know that you understand by acknowledging their feelings and point of view. Empathy and kindness are ALWAYS possible, even when you don’t agree or they’re acting out.

Children who don’t feel like they matter can develop low-self worth. They learn to value themselves as we value them.

Let them know that they matter by giving them your full attention whenever you can. Listen to their stories without checking your phone. Take some time every day, even a few minutes, to play and laugh with them. When children feel they matter, they develop a healthy and strong sense of self-worth.
