Motherhood is life changing. Giving. Selfless.

What we once had control over, we may lose for a season when we become mums.

Returning on this episode of the ParentEd Podcast is Wanxin, a stay-at-home mum of two young boys. She shares with our host, June, about what it feels like to lose herself while gaining this new title as mum and how she coped while in the depths of this sense of loss. She also talks about managing the external and internal expectations of being a mum and a woman in this society, as well as her journey of growth amidst the pain.

To all the mums tuning in: Thank you for your selfless love in both the seen and unseen ways. We appreciate you and wish you a blessed Mother’s Day!

Research points to daughters’ positive self-esteem and life satisfaction being closely related to fathers having a tight relationship with them.

But as our little girls grow into young women through their teenage years, how can dads maintain a connection with them?

Joshua talks about the simple traditions he started with his daughters when they were young, and how these intentional practices of connecting with them evolved through their growing up years. Shawna also shares about the impact her dad and their relationship has left on her. Together, they reveal how they keep their father-daughter relationship strong, even through the changes and disagreements in the journey.
