Mama Bird
My blogs
| Introduction | I am mother of two, who is still figuring out how to balance the kids' needs with my own. Some days it works, some days it seriously blows. I believe in talking to my kids a lot. I believe in really listening to them. I feel that if your kids feel understood and appreciated in all their unique and quirky splendor that goes a long way towards family harmony. I demand respect from my kids, but I try to respect them as individuals whenever possible. I make it clear that I am their Mom, not their friend. This is not a democracy. I want my kids to know that I am always rooting for them. I want to teach them personal bravery and give them coping skills for dealing with un-kindness in the world. I also believe in a daily dosage of running-around-outside-time, reading time and painting time. |
