Ep 41. New Year, Same You
Jan 13, 202200:12:05Tap to summarizeIn the new year, we always seem to hear the phrase New Year, New You.The new year is all about reinventing ourselves and setting aside who we are right now to become something even better. And although I do believe that personal growth and development and continually becoming something better than we were yesterday is a hugely important part of life, I believe it’s also important to love and accept ourselves along the way.So what if this year, we started out by deciding to really get to know ourselves and accept ourselves and love ourselves for everything we are–our strengths and our weaknesses, our good parts and our no-so-good parts. Do you really know yourself? And do you really accept yourself for exactly who you are? If you’re not sure, listen to this episode and hopefully become inspired to look at yourself a little differently this year! Do you have questions or concerns about your child?

Transcribe →Ep 37. Children & Smartphones, Pt 2: Social Media
Oct 21, 202100:16:35Tap to summarizeBeing the first generation of mothers to parent the use of cell phones, we are just starting to learn the effects that social media is having on our children. Cyberbullying is part of it, yes, but a much larger part of it is the endless scrolling as our children sit there and compare themselves to others all day long. This simple act is causing our children's anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts to skyrocket. In this episode, I give you a few things you can do to help lessen the effects of social media on your child.

Transcribe →Ep 36. Children & Smartphones Pt. 1: Contracts
Oct 7, 202100:12:40Tap to summarizeHave you ever thought about the fact that we are the first generation of parents to ever parent the use of cell phones? I think that deserves a badge of honor! In this episode, we talk about using cell phone contracts with our children. This is something you might want to consider if you don't already have one in place. Just like everything else in life we are expected to teach our children, the use of smartphones is no different. Your child will not automatically know how to use their phone safely and responsibly. You must teach them. It's important to think through how you want their smartphone usage to look and make sure it is communicated to your child in a clear way and reviewed often. I believe a contract is the best way to do this.If you want the very simple, editable cell phone contract I use with my children, please visit https://the-mommywhisperer.com/podcast-mentionables/Do you have questions or concerns about your child?
