To all mums, are you checking in with your #momfriends?
Let’s normalise having these deep conversations. If this is your first time seeing our #intentionalcheckin, is this something you will be able to do with your community/ support network/ village?
One of the challenges of modern day parenting is social isolation. Yes we may have so many followers/ fans, be in so many social media groups be it whatsapp/ facebook, threads, you name it.
Yet we feel so alone!
Developing those meaningful relationships becomes key as we seek to thrive in this parenting game. You may argue that ‘me I do not need anyone apart from my children or husband’
What about your children? How are you teaching/ showing them the power of community and positive network?
‘Your children are watching and learning from you on how to live. Inspire them’
Wilferd Peterson
My observations and personal experiences is that you only need 2 or 3 people that you connect with at this level of doing this proper check in. People you can HONESTLY tell about the exciting and challenging things in your life.
If you have 1 or 2 people you trust, invest in those relationships. Diarise those catch ups and honour them because life is very busy especially as parents.
Depending with the ages of your children
, you can use this as family check in as well. Why don’t you give it ago. Try at dinner time to check in with everyone..
Number 4 is also very important, that questions is often underplayed yet a game changer.
