Those walks when you don’t need music or a podcast as you just need to let your mind process big decisions in peace.. 🧠

I caught my son cracking up laughing as he was doing the Blue Steel in the mirror 🤪. He also taught his friends to “run Forrest run” at cross country. Do I get A+ for parenting skills? 😅

What ridiculously essential life lessons have you taught your kids from your childhood? Games? Movies? Song lyrics? 🤔 😂

Do you feel uncomfortable in some social situations?

Mind-reading can be a really common thinking habit.
This involves assuming they’re judging you negatively. 💭

Unfortunately you may never get the reassurance you’re craving from others so it’s more helpful to manage uncertainty. We don’t know what others are thinking but it may possibly be less negative than you assume🧠

Prioritising 1:1 mini-hang outs with my daughter. Little beach walk to get a hot chocolate or a quick swim early one weekend morning ☕️ ☀️ Pre-teens & teens still need this connection with parents (despite friends being like oxygen for them). 💗

Nothing better than someone meeting your needs you didn’t recognise you had. For me, it’s fun & adventure. Without me asking, my husband surprised me by taking my yacht to the beach, allowing me to take my twins out sailing ⛵️ Will keep him on!! And can’t wait to pay it forward x
