Shifting my mindset as a mom

How do we do this? Honestly. It’s easy. Don’t beat yourself up over the little things. Start changing your mindset! Shift it.

When you feel guilty punishing your kids…don’t. Seriously, don’t do that. Kids need punishment especially toddlers at this age. All you can do is better yourself and expand your parenting skills when you feel like you are going about it wrong. Confide in YOUR mom! Confide in a mom friend.

Quit saying “I am a bad mom!” Start saying “I am growing everyday!” Since becoming a mom I have learned something new every day. What to do, what not to do..and what I could improve on!

Stop feeling guilty yelling at your kids. It happens. Every day will get easier to respond more gently. Sometimes, you can’t gentle parent and that is okay. But if you feel like there’s something to improve on, it will get easier!

Quiting saying you are messing up your kids! I have told myself this time and time again. I have said “I just don’t want my son to grow up like I did!” And I struggle with that. Start recognizing that you are aware of the situation and you allowed yourself to examine your deepest darkest fears of parenting. Then shift it!

There’s so many things I worry about it. I work myself up over little situations, tantrums and how I react. Doing this has helped me see the other side of things in a whole new perspective. A perspective where I’m not beating myself up over anything and I’m aware and learning. I’m learning to not be so hard on myself. I’m growing every day!
