A little Mama Motivation/Reminder to all you beaut

A little Mama Motivation/Reminder to all you beautiful mamas this weekend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“ A happy life is made up of a million little happy moments all stitched together with great purpose. Like the quilt that takes so many hours of choosing fabrics, deliberate sewing, and careful binding to make splendid, so does your quilt of life - the moments, days, and seasons of your years patched together to reveal the beauty of all you have done. Each time you choose joy over fear, guilt, anger, comparison, judgment, or any kind of happiness stealers, you are adding beauty to your quilt.” @rebeccaeanes, The Gift of a Happy Mother. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I know, I know ... easier said than done. I know for me comparison and guilt are the two that steal my joy and I have been working hard to start changing my internal dialogue when either pop up in my head. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I will share with you one thing I read the other day that is a good reminder when it comes to comparison - we aren’t comparing ourselves to others, we are comparing our weaknesses to their strengths. I remind myself of that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your joy stealers? Share below and let me know! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Yes, I do want to teach my baby that I will give them the physical connection they desire and need from me.

Keep doing what you're doing, parents! Hopefully, one day in the near future, it will not be so abnormal to respond to your baby's cries, practice nighttime parenting, and snuggle your sweet babies.

Posted @withregram • @thisgentletribe It’s hard not to feel uncomfortable when our little ones are upset - usually because we were denied the expression of these emotions when we were younger - but we need to learn to get comfortable with tears.

WHY?!

Because the crying is the HEALING not the HURTING.

When our children cry, it’s important to remember that the hurt has already happened. By stopping our children’s tears we are simply preventing them from processing their emotions around the hurt.

Temper tantrums, whining and acting-out are often a symptom of stuck hurts and should never be viewed as ‘misbehaviour’.

By accepting all of our children’s emotions and supporting them through their tears in releasing their hurts, we often find that behavioural issues resolve themselves as our children become lighter, more relaxed and happier overall.

“From an attachment perspective, we know that as

“From an attachment perspective, we know that as mammals, when we are in states of distress, what we most need is for our caregivers, or attachment figures to come and be close to us. Even when the child is in a reactive state where behaviour is out of control, if we can respond with empathy and soothing and connection, it actually moves the brain from a reactive state to a receptive state. When they are in a receptive state, then you can have these conversations, you can do some problem solving and some boundary setting.” Brainious

Congratulations to Paula of @newparadigmmotherhood

Congratulations to Paula of @newparadigmmotherhood for officially becoming a Certified Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist!
More about Paula, “As a mama to a rambunctious toddler & Registered Early Childhood Educator, I am passionate about supporting families and children. I believe raising emotionally-secure children is key towards building a more sustainable, happier future. I also believe you do not have to sacrifice your own mental health to do so. I am excited to be a part of this amazing community of coaches and provide families with holistic, well-rounded support.”

Paula’s clients said, “Paula was very understanding and approachable. She has great knowledge and made us feel confident.” And, “The most valuable part for me was that Paula suggested and discussed a possible tongue tie with me, sending me options of people to get in touch with in the UK even though she’s in Canada. Paula’s strengths were her understanding, her empathy, and her extensive sleep knowledge.”

Paula is such a wealth of knowledge and took so much from the course to support her families. She is empathetic and so good at really working with families (as a team) to come up with a plan that works for everyone.

I am honoured to have you as a part of this community ❤️
