The positive self talk thing is HUGE. I try to practice this all around. I also unfollowed all parenting accounts a few years ago and try to trust my gut and follow the needs of my two VERY different kids. Thank you for sharing this - vulnerability always leads to the best writing 💕❤️
It feels so good to not be bombarded with Instagram nonsense about parenting!!! if I saw another activity that required a giant Amazon order of supplies to do w my 2 year old I was going to loose my mind!!!! And yes, the positive self talk is ESSENTIAL!! For all aspects of life tbh!!!
For real! I don’t think the algorithm even realizes I have children at this point hahah I NEVER get promoted kid accounts anymore. Only clothing hahahah
Chiming in to say I also unfollowed allllll the parenting accounts after my baby was about 1 ... sometimes I check a few particular people out for ideas, but I don't need scripts, menus, or sensory bins!!!
I love love love this. I also unfollowed most parenting accounts after having the same feelings! Also, every time I read your essays I wish we could meet in real life and be friends 😂 happy new year!!
Omg Sydney, thank you!! I feel the same way about yours! If you ever come to MA you have to tell me and I am manifesting a trip to Amsterdam for myself!!!
