The topic of this week’s podcast episode of Newborn to Teen and Everything in between is Surrogacy. We spoke to Meriel Bernal, a 3 x surrogate from the United States all about how and why she decided to become a surrogate - the highs and lows and everything in between. The episode comes out on Wednesday and we will be sharing a preview of the episode tomorrow! We look forward to hearing what you think. #SurrogacyJourney #ParentingStories #SurrogacyExperience #FamilyBuilding #ParenthoodJourney #SurrogateMotherhood #ModernFamily #SupportingSurrogates #ParentingCommunity #CreatingFamilies #parentingpodcast

Click and follow now 🙏😎🏴🇵🇭 https://open.spotify.com/episode/5wpV4ETj74lc1sl2MlG9zR?si=aZoYbaHuROCHC9Px6iFgJg Introducing Darren Parry or just Daz - one of his many nicknames. Join us delve into his journey of raising children of diverse backgrounds (half English and half Filipino) navigating the complexities of cultural integration, and preserving their heritage. Daz candidly shares his reflections on the unique experiences and challenges of parenting in a multicultural world, drawing from his own time spent in the Philippines with his wife Cindy. From cherished memories to encounters with natural disasters, every moment has contributed to shaping his role as a father and his aspirations for the future. Now settled in England, will his children continue to embrace their Filipino roots and embark on their own adventures in the Philippines?
We, as IBCLCs, have the pleasure of supporting you and your baby during the initial stages of breastfeeding. Once everything is going well, we may not hear from you again, which is a good sign. However, we often wonder how your breastfeeding journey unfolded. So, when we receive a message from you a year later, it’s heartwarming to hear your story. Here is one of these stories that I received recently. If I supported you have I would love to hear an update in the comments below . ❤️ #Breastfeedingstories #HeartwarmingTales #BabyLove #MotherhoodJourney #NeverForgotten #ShareYourStory #ParentingStories #InspirationalStories #ibclc #lactation #lactationconsultant #cork #love #education #famliy #comfort #mariaosullivanibclc #Breastfeedingjourneyscork
I’m raising a lady 🤷🏽♀️
In the world of parenting, where the pressure to be perfect often looms large, here's a comforting truth: perfection is not only unattainable, it's unnecessary. In fact, showing our human side, complete with all its flaws and mistakes, is actually more beneficial for our children. Did you grow up thinking your parents were flawless? 🤔 Imagine the pressure that would put on a child 🌼 When we openly acknowledge our mistakes, we teach our children invaluable lessons. We show them that mistakes are a normal part of life, that they offer opportunities for learning and growth, and importantly, how to make amends when our actions impact others. It's about saying, "I messed up, I'm sorry, and here's how I'll try to do better," and then really following through 🙌 This approach fosters a sense of security and trust, essential components of a healthy attachment. If you're worried about always getting it "right," take a breath and remind yourself: we're all human 😮💨 Gentle parenting is as much about accepting ourselves as it is about accepting our children. It's not about never slipping up; it's about how we pick ourselves up and grow from these moments 🌱 So, if you find yourself in a cycle of self-criticism for not being the "perfect" parent, remember, it's okay 😊 What matters is showing up, being present, and constantly striving to do better, knowing that sometimes we will stumble. And that's perfectly alright. Our children don't need us to be perfect; they need us to be real, to be kind, and to be there for them, showing them the way with love, empathy, and understanding 🙏 Let's embrace our imperfections and see them as opportunities to teach, learn, and grow together. Have you had a moment where embracing your imperfections led to a valuable lesson for you or your child?

To my babies, I wear many hats. Mama, Auntie, Miss Teacher 💗 To my babies, my auntie babies, and my students: Do it all. Make the messes. Scream at the top of your lungs. You’re only little once. Don’t waste it trying to fit into a box that someone else created for you. Now to all my mama’s and daddy’s, bonus parents, adopted’s, whatever your hat may be: This all goes to say, YES there are stipulations… I’m not saying let your child do everything under the sun without repercussion; HOWEVER, (Yes, I am guilty too…but we’re taking accountability and trying to fix it 😉) Let’s let up. Let up the reigns on our littles…just a bit. Let them make the messes, that’s curiosity. Don’t kill it. Let them scream sometimes, then talk about it. Explain their feelings, they’ve never felt them before. BAD kids don’t exist, bad BEHAVIORS do. They’re doing their best with what they know. Sometimes, “Ow! That hurts me, please stop” looks like a bite. Or, “Mom, I’m so tired everything is bad right now” looks like screaming at the top of our lungs. Everything our children do is an unmet needs or pure curiosity and willingness to explore. Children are meant to be SEEN and HEARD. I know, personally, I want my kids to speak up as an adult when something is wrong or unfair or messed up. If I don’t teach them to do that to the few people they feel safe with then how on earth will they do it to a stranger. That’s right 😉… They won’t. Let’s give our kids their voice. Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt. Let’s teach them and correct them instead of reacting first. I’ll do the same, You in?

Was it triggering to hear my child screaming & crying in public? Yes. I know children crying in public can make parents feel anxious, exasperated or sometimes afraid of other people’s perception. But, try changing the perception to see that crying is a way of communication, your child is trying to tell you something. Yes, they may not listen to what you are saying because their logical brains are switched off. But you can be that supportive parent to help them ride out their emotions. Don’t underestimate the power of your quiet presence and support you can give to your child during those emotional storms.

A Little Parenting Story! Where do authors draw their stories? I met Opiyo Diana the author of 'A Heart Full of Love' at @afnairobi through @goel.way team led by @_t.imm and listening to her book story, our books dared to trade some wisdom. Far from the book title and colors, it is a story that resonates with the amount of love our children occupy in our hearts. You normally don't know how hard you can go until you have your child to run for. Our book #SwingsToParenting co-authored with @nancykariba draws a story of how to prepare for the run, how to run while carrying the baby, and how to train the baby to run hard after you. My English teacher would have called this a metaphor 😂 is it? Reality checks of whom to date for marriage, whys, the mmmhs of preconception, what to do while pregnant from 1st to 3rd trimester, the labor-room fallacy, and the nurturing. Both for Moms & Dads. You truly need this: https://wicef.com/swingstoparenting/ What's your lesson from this best gifting book? #SwingsToParening #AHeartFullofLove #ParentingStories #bookstagram

This generation was raised by the Baby Boomers famously use the helicopter parenting style. They like to get and give advice about parenting and always learn how to be a better parent. They like volunteering and be involved in their children’s development, including being very involved in their child’s school. They encourage individual choice while trying to remain engaged as parents. They don’t follow the authoritarian discipline style because of the lack of support they feel they missed in their own growing up years. They encourage their children to be more independent and try new things. According to Schiff, “helicopter parents are highly protective. While this can be beneficial when it comes to safety and security, their children lack independence, which can affect them into adulthood. They also tend to lack emotional resilience “ #parentingstories #parenting #parentingtips #parentinghacks #nigeriaparents #nigerianteachers #nigeriancurriculum #nigeriaprivateschools #nigeria.
Millennial parents tend to be more open minded than any of the generations before them, and find value in positive parenting over authoritarian discipline. The advancement of social media and technology shapes how they parent. They may have been children of Gen Xers and used to the helicopter parenting style, so they are looking to have a more free and looser approach than what they were raised with. They rely more on technology and their children usually grow up digitally obsessed. They encourage their children to ask questions and engage their children in more extracurricular activities. #parentingstories #parents #growingupwithstrictparents #nigeria #nigeriaparents

Juggling a bilingual family isn’t an easy task, even when both parents come from the same linguistic and cultural background. In the latest chapter of our Parents’ Feelings Matter in our article titled "Nurturing a Bilingual Family", we explore the experience of a family where linguistic and cultural harmony seems to be the norm, yet the challenges they encounter while focusing on “just” two languages are far from simple.

If you’re not into self-appreciation posts, feel free to scroll past this one! 😜 But for all the parents out there juggling work, home, and kids solo while trying to nail it all, yet questioning themselves every step of the way, here’s a little shoutout: You’re doing a fab job. And you know what? I am too. Why the sudden burst of self-love? Well, today marks two weeks of me flying solo with two kiddos! Yup, something I never thought I’d be able to handle, but here I am, (I think) rocking it. 🤪 Forget about two, I’d never even managed one kid all by myself for more than a few hours before this. Then life happened, and Mr. Husband had to jet off for work - that too for a whole month! Did I panic at first? Maybe just a tad. There were definitely moments of doubt, but deep down, I kept telling myself I could handle it. Where did that confidence come from? Who knows. But hey, sometimes you gotta give yourself a pep talk to get through the tough stuff, right? 😜 Has it been smooth sailing? Heck no! Adulting is tough, and parenting? Even tougher. Balancing my job, their school/daycare routines, chores, feeding, cleaning, dealing with sickness, surviving... phew, doing it all solo is no joke. Hats off to single parents doing this year after year. 🙏🏻 How did I manage it all? Well, that’s a post for another time (if you’re interested in knowing, of course! 😜). But for now, I’m basking in the glow of keeping myself and the kiddos alive for two whole weeks, giving myself a pat on the back, and indulging in some ice cream (of course the kids are snoozing – forget single parents, no parent needs a sugar rush at night, am I right?). 😎😝 The pic? That’s from my goddaughter’s birthday bash last weekend, where I actually managed to show up on time, with two spiffily dressed kids and myself! Achievement unlocked, wouldn’t you say? 😂😎 I say it’s my love for my goddaughter that gave me all the energy and motivation to do so, and of course my friends who never let my spirits down. ❤️ Bracing myself for the next two weeks until the Husband returns. A “me” vacation sounds like a solid plan after this, don’t you think? 🤣 #parentingstories #soloparentingwin

Each generation of parents wants to improve on how they were raised. At times, we identify something we did not like in our growing up years and then swing too far into the other direction. So if for example you received little supervision or support and felt under-parented, you might overcompensate in indulging your children’s emotions which can cause it’s own problems. Taking the best of each generation and adopting it to your own individual style can be useful at times. Also understanding that just because you fall within one generation does not mean you must adhere to all of those specific qualities. According to experts, here’s what your generation says about your parenting style. #parentingstories #nigeriaparents #naijateachers #naijaparents #parenting #parentinglife

Let me show you the 2 pm face of a mom on holiday with her toddler 😆✋ I realised, whenever I am on a holiday with my minion my clothes were the last thing on my mind. I was always flustered about how fed, hydrated and entertained he was...And also public toilets 😭 Where is my holiday ? Well, I wanted to change that . We slowed our plans . Didn't have any itinerary. Pre-planned healthy snacks packets for the road. And, I took a long shower and dressed myself in this comfort and stylish top by @iymbulan that made me feel top of the world #dopaminedressing Kids are going to be a handful but that doesn't mean we must not enjoy the experience 😋 I am happy-always wanted Mom ❤️ .

While you all saw how we baked a beautiful cake a couple of days back. Now read on to know what really happened and how we got around to doing it. There were big meltdowns along the way and how we got back on track. It was a difficult day for me. I was in tears by the end of it. Let’s read on to know more. I have shared this picture above of Big M and me, one of my favourites. It reminds me of a time when she used to effortlessly fit into my arms, readily come for an embrace and best of all not have an opinion on anything and everything. She was 2 then. Is 6 now. And already she has grown so much, I think. #parentingwisdom #parentingstories #mydaughterandme #momblogger #parentcoach #emotionalmoment #comingaround #lettinggoofcontrol #childrenandchoices #childrenschoice #emotionalmeltdown #emotionalregulation #makingupwithyourself #bekind #beforgiving

育兒是一條沒有盡頭的考驗。 時間跟精力被吞吃之後，放棄很多自己之後，幾次在反覆疑問跟挫折裡面我都會自省： 這種「被剝奪」「犧牲感」是不是代表我覺得小孩很多餘？ 我一邊陪玩一邊厭惡放不下手機回訊息的自己；一邊羨慕著那些有漂亮體態又自律的媽媽，一邊在洗完澡來不及全身按摩就睡著的時候懊惱；一方面強迫自己安排想學的課程想去的地方，一方面為了自己沒有陪伴他幾個小時感到罪惡。 好在過去的自己堅持留下這些一起生活的紀錄，你說我一廂情願也好，自我安慰也好。至少這些片段讓我想起我開心時候的模樣。 也提醒我擁有一個就算我破碎不完美還是全心愛著我的小人，我要做他的暖陽，陪著他走向人生溫暖的遠方。 新年快樂，the best is yet to come. - #parenthood #parenting #parentingstories #outdoor #outdoorkids #outdoorbaby #mountain #outdoorlife #hiking #reflection #lifelessons
"Barbie are țâțe" îmi reamintește azi fetița mea de aproape 6 ani cu o nonșalanță in exprimare și o inocența in a sa voce ce a făcut șoferul de Uber să zâmbească. "Sâni mami, sâni are, e mai elegant să spui astfel decât țâțe." Deh, sunt totuși fiică de profesoară de limba română și om de cultură, chiar dacă sunt moldoveancă și mai slobodă la gură uneori. Barbie este fereastra dintre lumi. Dintre trecut,prezent si viitor. Puntea, podul, legatura văzută și nevăzută. Aș adaugă eu. Aceasta păpușă, actualmente cu gâtul nițel rupt, încă rezistă eroic după ce mi-a aparținut mie de la vârsta de aproximativ 8 ani. Tocmai m-am trezit așezându-i rochia pe umeri și am sesizat bretonul decupat de mine cu ani în urmă. Pentru o secundă întreg corpul meu parcă s-a transpus în cel al unei fetițe de 8 ani. M-am trezit mângâind păpușă pe cap pentru o clipită ca și când cand am mai facut asta de un milion de ori înainte. Picasso spunea că ne chinuim jumătate de viață să învățăm a fi adult, și restul vieții pentru a ne aminti ce înseamnă să fii copil. Eu aș spune că este nevoie de o singură jucărie, de un singur obiect, de un miros, o fotografie sau de o amintire puternică pentru a călători înapoi în timp. În cazul meu fereastra este păzită de Barbie aparent, cea de care făcusem mișto recent. Haios e universul asta, se amuză și el pe seama noastră la rândl lui. Dar totodată, ne și învață să fim prezenți. Atât de simplu e să redevii copil și... măcar pentru o secundă să iți înțelegi copilul dacă ești părinte. Să îl vezi cu adevărat pe el, copilul tău așa cum poate ti-ai dorit sa fii și tu văzut și înțeles. Ai șansa prin ochii albaștri ai unei Barbie. Asadar, dragilor, pastrati mereu o Barbie pe lângă voi. Cine știe unde vă poate duce?! #parentingstories #writing #thoughts #memories #play #Barbie

: 小孩真的有胎内记忆吗？ 这天和乐乐一起看绘本的时候，刚好有一页是讲关于妈妈怀胎10个月的。 我说：“以前乐乐也是在mummy的肚子里面”。没想到他转过头来看着我，然后摸摸我的肚子，似乎记得他曾经也在里面呆过 🥹 期待他能表达更多的时候，因为我想问问他更多关于他的胎内记忆 🤭 #ParentingJournal #MomLifeNotes #DadDiaries #ParentingChronicles #FamilyJournaling #ReflectiveParenting #DailyParentingJoy #JournalingMemories #ParentingInsights #HeartfeltMoments #ParentingReflections #LifeWithKids #ParentingStories #CapturingParenting #CherishedParenthood #ParentingAdventure #ParentingJourneyJournal #ThoughtfulParenting #ParenthoodDiaries #JournalingLove #ParentingWisdom #ExpressiveParenting #JournalingLifeWithKids #ParenthoodReflections #ParentingBliss #ParentingWonders #MindfulParentingJournal #ParentingJoyfulMoments #JournalingWithLove #ParentingDiscovery

👋🏼 Hi, I’m Bri, the creator behind Modern Motherhood Musings. I’m a mom to two precious boys, 3 1/2 and 15 months old, with a wonderful husband and little fluffy dog named Nina I’m a full-time mom with a full-time corporate career, and I’ve realized that juggling both feels impossible at times. I started this as a way to share reflections on this modern motherhood journey and to create a space where mamas can connect and feel less alone. I’m passionate about community, women lifting up other women, and sharing our stories. In my free time I’m a book worm, enjoy spending time in the kitchen, and I’m an unashamed lover of naps. Thank you for being here! Please, introduce yourself below, I’d love to get to know you! -Bri #ModernMotherhoodMusings #ModernMotherhood #WorkingMomLife #MomLifeBalance #CareerMom #MomBlog #ParentingHumor #MotherhoodJourney #MomLifeStruggles #ParentingStories #ImperfectMom #MomsSupportingMoms #EmpoweredMotherhood #MamaLife #FamilyAndCareer #ParentingBlog #EmpoweredMotherhood #SupportiveMoms
In the Modern Motherhood Musings newsletter this week I challenged everyone to pick up the phone 📱(texts don’t count!) and call a friend they haven’t talked to in a while. Reply to this post to let me know if you did it, and how it went! I’m passionate about community and about what it means during this season of life! #ModernMotherhoodMusings #ModernMotherhood #WorkingMomLife #MomLifeBalance #CareerMom #MomBlog #ParentingHumor #MotherhoodJourney #MomLifeStruggles #ParentingStories #ImperfectMom #MomsSupportingMoms #EmpoweredMotherhood #MamaLife #FamilyAndCareer #ParentingBlog #EmpoweredMotherhood #SupportiveMoms
My kid's school had a lot of construction over the last couple of years. 🚧 This resulted in a new hug-and-go lane. 🚸 Before the new pick-up lanes opened, the principal sent detailed descriptions, pictures, and videos on how to use the lanes. 🚗 And months later, we’re still getting emails from him asking people to use it appropriately. To wait their turn. To exit in the correct direction. 🔄 Thankfully, we live close enough to walk. 🚶♀️ My husband often comes home and shares stories about a parent yelling at a school staff member who’s asking them to do the right thing. I can’t make other adults do the right thing, but I can give you something to listen to while you’re sitting there, waiting your turn. Comment Bus below and I’ll send you a link to my private podcast. 🎙️ I talk about things like: 🙋♀️Moms do too much! 📱Productivity hacks will only get you so far. 🏃♀️How to build a life you don’t want to run away from. 📱How to channel your inner toddler and ask WHY?! Each episode is less than five minutes, which is why it’s called In The School Pick-Up Line! 🚌 Because dropping your kids off at school shouldn’t be so stressful! #strideproductivity #workingmom #workingmomlife #workingmomlifebalance #workingmothers #mompreneur #mompreneurlife #mompreneurlifestyle #fairplayfacilitator #fairplaylife #mentalload #mentalloadofmotherhood #workingmomproblems #workingmomstruggles #HugAndGoLane #SchoolPickupEtiquette #ParentingStories #PrivatePodcast #ListenWhileYouWait #MomLifeRealities #IntheSchoolPickUpLine #AskWhyPodcast #StressFreeSchoolDropOff
This question can be answered in multiple ways. I chose to answer it based on the Waldorf philosophy with evidence backed up by science in my latest blogpost. Honestly, when I first stumbled upon Waldorf, it helped me think differently about the physical environment of my child than I was thinking before. And I am sure it will open your eyes as well to something different if you are not already familiar with everything Waldorf! So, Happy Reading! #linkinstory #linkinbio #waldorfeducationathome #waldorfinspired #childhoodexperiences #childhooddevelopment #debaleenabiswas

Being a parent means loving your children more than you've ever loved yourself. I vividly remember a night when I was utterly exhausted, yet I stayed up to bake cupcakes for my son's class party. In that moment, drained but determined, I truly understood the depth of parental love. It's about putting those little needs above our own often without a second thought. It's a love that's deep, selfless and incredibly powerful especial when we have neurodiverse kids with autism and ADHD 💕 I wonder if any of you have had similar experiences where you realized the enormity of your love as a parent? How do those moments feel? What drives you to give so selflessly? Let's share and celebrate these acts of love that often go unnoticed. 🍃💖🍃 #ParentalDevotion #BeyondExhaustion #ActsOfLove #UnseenSacrifices #MotherhoodMoments #ParentingDepth #SelflessActs #LoveInAction #ParentingHeart #FamilyFirst #EndlessLove #MomLifeReal #CaringBeyondLimits #ParentingStories #SacrificialLove #CelebratingParenting #HelpMyChild #thejourney #momlifeishard #parenting101 #parentingskills #aheadofthecurve #parenteducation #itsthesimplethings #parentingadvice #mumssupportingmums
