Let's start preparing new mothers and new birthing parents for the mental health journey that comes after giving birth.
There are so many mental health nuances in the journey of becoming a parent and not enough are discussed freely and without shame.
I do this with all of my friends and clients entering this stage and wanted to share this with you all so that you could share it with the new birthing parents that you know and love.
I hope it also gives some of you some clarity on what you went thru as a new mother and greater compassion for yourself as a result.
Join your child in their delight and communicate to them that their instincts and preferences are valuable and valid - this is key in developing their self-esteem, and play is the perfect context for learning and bonding.
Learn the power of modeling self-compassion to your kids, as it inspires authenticity and problem-solving, and helps them develop their own self-treatment based on how they see you treat yourself.
Learn why it's vital to your children's health for you to connect with the adults in your life and model close, mature relationships, and how investing in your own attachment needs is essential to fully caring for your children in this insightful video.
