How To Be A Better Mom

Tutto quello che devi sapere per essere una mamma migliore, la migliore versione di te

The pressures of modern parenting are enough to drive any mom to insanity, but if you take a step back and really look at your life as a parent, your kids don't need as much from you as you think they do. Not much has changed since you were a kid yourself, begging your mom to look at the Lego structure you spent hours building — kids just want to spend time with their parents and feel their love. It's easy to get distracted by our phones and busy schedules and to spend too much time comparing ourselves to the polished moms we see on social media, but the truth is, being a great mom isn't about how good the little square photos on our social media profiles look, it's about the connections we make with our kids and the things we do that will stick with them for a lifetime.

In the midst of a busy day it's easy for mamas to think of our children as “tasks” rather than as “hearts” we need to connect with. I sometimes struggle with putting my kids before my to-do list. After all, I can mark things off my to-do list as “done.” With kids, they are never done.

We must give our children attention—real, focused, positive attention. I've found when I spend even ten or fifteen minutes with my children at regular intervals during the day, they are happy to entertain themselves or play positively with their siblings at other times. When our child's love tank/attention tank is full, then he or she has fuel to feed other positive relationships.

Each moment in our day we have the choice to be present. Our children will not only benefit from it, but we will reap the rewards.
