Mindful As A Mother

Lindsay takes a deep dive into the question that she gets asked the most on Tik Tok.. "How do I figure out the need behind my child's behavior?" She shares three areas you can explore and make tweaks so that you are meeting your child's needs and addressing unsavory behaviors. This episode was inspired by a post from the Child Institute of Psychology.

Summer is coming in HOT! And that's no joke. We're moving into the season where parents become full-time entertainers and the days of focused work are gone. For me, summer season is accompanied by excitement, sleeping in, eating all the ice cream, and memorable family adventures. The other part of summer is knowing that, as much as you love your sticky-fingered mess makers, the unadulterated quality time + energy you’re going to be putting into making summer magic means there’s a lot less time + energy to maintaining your sanity. I’m here to help you keep summer from stealing your sanity while still creating the magic you hope for while being the intentional, incredible, SANE parent that I know you are.

Takeaways, DO let your kids be bored, DO prioritize quality over quantity, and DON'T get caught up in the "Should's" of summer.
