Does your child feel wanted?

(2 min read) Does your child know you want to be their mother? 

At the most fundamental level of being human is the desire to belong. This human need for connection begins between a child and it's mother which is why this bond is among the most powerful in the universe.

If all children felt connected and wanted the world would be a better more peaceful place. However more and more people are feeling lost, unconnected and even abandoned. I believe that modern motherhood with all its unrealistic tasks is creating a deficit environment for mothers to mother with consistent authentic connection.

Why? In the hustle and bustle of modern motherhood its easy to forget to check in with our kids at a deep level. Instead we are forced into pacifying them with screens, junk food or a new toy (No judgement!!! I am so guilty of all of these).

What's the solution? Make sure your child understands that you want to be their mother using their love language. Remind yourself that you WANT to be a source of love and acceptance for them and even on the hard days when perhaps you second guess becoming a mom, you will remind them that their existence brings you unfiltered joy, authentic fulfillment, and true peace. If you don't feel this way about being a mom most of the time, I encourage you to do some deeper work on your identity as a mother which I can help with.

Honor your importance and safeguard your mind. All our kids depend on it. See you in next Sunday's e-newsletter.
