4 Tips to Keeping Quiet (and help your kids be more self sufficient)

As Moms, we like to view ourselves as seasoned vets of life - we’ve birthed and/or are raising children and we’ve seen a LOT. Someone throws a tantrum at the grocery store? No sweat. You’ve got poop on your jeans and it’s not your own? Unphased, stain remover can work wonders. But there’s a moment with our kids that always stops us in our tracks no matter HOW many times we experience it: The child that wants advice but doesn’t actually WANT your advice.

It’s a bit of a mind F, if you don’t mind us saying so, because our sweet children come to us carrying the weight of the world and asking the hard-hitting questions: “Mom, why don’t I have an A in math? It feels like I never have time to study for our tests”. In your head, you’re screaming WELL YEAH!! You spend an hour every night watching YouTube, what did you expect?! But we all know you can’t say that to your child - because it’s too practical and your name is Mom. Instead, you choose to bite your tongue. But that is WAY easier said than done. Today we’re talking about how to manage these situations with your children in a way that helps them solve problems on their own, recognizes their struggle (no matter how small or easily solvable it seems to us) so they feel seen and heard, and how not lose your own dang mind in the process. We hope you enjoy this episode!
