tips on parenting

Hey there mommas!

I LOVE to go sit at little cafes on the patio, and oh how I wish you and I could meet up for a chit chat at the local cafe. If given that opportunity, as Mother’s day arrives, I’m sure we would cover a variety of topics and perhaps swap stories of being a momma, but I’d hope we could encourage each other in the following ways:

1- Enjoying our season
2- Letting them be little
3- Finding our balance
4- Leading by example 
5-Knowing our kids 
6-Being mom, knowing friendship will come as result 
7- Leaning in to our village 
8-Encouraging one another

So, go ahead and grab a cup of coffee or your favorite drink, and join me on the cafe as we chat about being a momma.

To our kids, divorce is a life long process. During this process, the ability to do a great job at parenting is even more relevant. We need to be very careful with what we say and do in front of our children because we are their source on how to behave and react in life.

Everything we say about our ex-spouse will affect our kids, either positively or negatively. Negative remarks we make about our ex-spouse will leave a scar in our kids, and that is why we need to be mindful of what we choose to say and do. 

Co-parenting can truly be a success if you chose to do it in a child centered approach. In this episode, we talk about strategies to avoid making mistakes as divorced parents and how you can handle your emotions better around your kids.  We just need to have a well thought through approach to anything in life to make it work.  After all parenting is tough and co-parenting has its own set of challenges. By the end of this podcast you will know its not rocket science. All we need is a mindful approach to make co-parenting a success.
