I think as a new mom I tried way too hard to keep Mila constantly entertained.
But I started to notice the negative effects in her behavior. The inability to soothe without getting her way, just play in quiet, or go a day without TV.
Now of course she’s just 2 and all of it is normal.
But I realize now that if I want to help shape a person who is at peace within their own minds, I have to show her how by not constantly distracting or giving in to her every whim.
And that looks like mommy actually getting to read again too. 🤣 I used to wait until after bed time, but what a good habit for her to watch and learn.
I’m sure I won’t get this perfectly right, but this is the new phase of motherhood I’m leaning into. 😁🙏
