In this episode of Thriving Parenting, we delve into the emotional journey of becoming a parent for the first time. I shared three important lessons I wished I had known when I first became a mum, having now accumulated 12 years of parenting experience and reflection.
The episode explores managing anxiety as a new parent, emphasizing the necessity of trusting oneself and the parenting process. It highlights how mistakes are not just inevitable but beneficial for growth, as they foster resilience in both the parent and the child.
The episode also discusses the misconception that a baby's mood is directly linked to a mother's capabilities, encouraging parents to accept all emotions as part of their child's development. By sharing personal anecdotes and the support she received from family, the host provides insights into coping with societal pressures and self-judgment. This episode is intended to offer reassurance and perspective to first-time parents, reminding them that it's okay to let go of perfection and embrace the unpredictable nature of parenting.
