Good Enough Mothering
It'south about Mother'southward Day here in the US. I've written a few posts over the years nearly my own mom (here and hither), who is a very special person and someone I admire deeply. And a few days ago I wrote well-nigh how I think this holiday should really be called Mothering Day. So, today I'm not going to write much. I'm feeling weary from a long week of taking care of the universe (or at to the lowest degree that's what it feels like)!
I dear the quote in a higher place. I plant it after reading a few articles about "proficient plenty mothering". Have you heard of this philosophy? Information technology speaks to me, and it makes me feel improve nearly the things I don't (or won't) do for my kids. My honey for them is fierce, and truth-be-told my proficient plenty mothering is a work in progress, but I'm as well of the belief that doing everything for my kids puts them at a disadvantage. The qualities that will serve them well in life are grit, resilience, and resourcefulness. They can only develop these traits by experiencing for themselves the bumps in the road. As their mom, I desire step in and help with everything. Merely I can't set up all of the pain. Sometimes, the all-time I can practise is just exist at that place. And that's good plenty.
If you want to read more about this philosophy, starting time with this article. The author writes:
"Information technology takes an imperfect mother to heighten a child well."
Then read this article. The author is very funny well-nigh her total immersion of the philosophy. She says:
"The concept frees me with its liberation from expectations."
And lastly, this article shines a light on the philosophy for people who feel like "good plenty" means "non enough". The writer writes:
"Edifice our children's resilience is the souvenir of the practiced enough mother."
Share your mothering philosophy, if you have ane!
