While motherhood is about helping our children grow up to be confident, good, and successful, motherhood is just as much about growing up ourselves. Less sleep, postpartum, balancing work or business and parenting, keeping up the house… it demands so much from us.

The biggest mindset shift you can get today is that motherhood isn’t really about changing your kids andtheir behavior. It’s about changing you first. Changing how you think, speak, and respond as a mom in the moment. This will open the door to connection with your child and help them to feel seen, heard, understood, and valued.

4:20 Stay calm, no matter how challenging the situation

4:40 Remember that your child matters more than the frustration

5:56 Pause and observe the moment to keep you from shouting or feeling annoyed

7:28 Tune in to your thoughts and words, and then choose your response
