What is a mentally strong parent?

“Raising mentally strong kids who are equipped to take on real-world challenges requires parents to give up the unhealthy — yet popular — parenting practices that are robbing kids of mental strength.” - Amy Morin, Forbes

With so many parenting tips, advice, opinions, etc., it’s hard to find your groove when it comes to parenthood. What works for you and YOUR familia may not work for someone else’s, and that’s totally OK! However, one thing that is very important across the spectrum is raising not only a healthy, well-rounded and kind child; we should also focus on raising mentally and emotionally strong children. Some tips from the article we found are very helpful in pinpointing how we, as parents, might fall into habits that are not beneficial to our children. What does a mentally strong parent do?:

  • They Don’t Confuse Discipline With Punishment

  • They Don’t Prevent Their Child From Making Mistakes

  • They Don’t Let Their Child Avoid Responsibility

And other gems!

This Forbes article lists 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don’t Do. We don’t usually like Do/Don’t Do articles but this one is pretty powerful. Take a read and let us know what you think!

Does Your Child Have Anxiety?

“My Daughter Is Not a Brat- She Has Anxiety” - Colleen Wildenhaus,

Yahoo! Lifestyle

We asked the Super Mamas how they work through anxiety with their kids

Did you know that 40 million American adults, as well as 1 in 8 children, have anxiety? We found these great articles that touch on children with anxiety that we’re sure some of you mamas will relate to. Take a look and let us know what you think about this topic! Read, comment, SHARE!

Question for Bricia - “How do you work with your child when he’s anxious?”

“When he’s anxious, I try to calm myself first and teach him breathing techniques. We’ve even tried a meditation app.”

Question for Paulina - “How do you manage your 3 (THREE!) girls when they get anxious?”

“I’m teaching them to breathe. I tell them ‘slow down and breathe’ as well as using some apps like Calm. It’s hard though. Soothing music helps; warm baths; essential oils.”

How do you mamas calm an anxious or worrisome child?
