Dare to Live

New mothers - babies 0-3 years+
Don't rush childhood to chase perfection or keep up with others. Enjoy motherhood...you are the keeper of your child's early childhood memories. Laugh with them, grow with them, love them unconditionally, play with them and allow them to play. It is the richest form of research.
Earliest brain development is VERY important and basic skills develop through play and explore. NOT in front of a screen; doesn't matter what fanciest education programs you buy them.
Spending positive quality time with them, gives a deep sense of safety and belonging🌸

Waarheen is ek op pad? Soms beweeg jy wel binne die wil van God, maar dan het Hy eers n alternatiewe roete in gedagte. Vertrou net op Hom. Wees veerkragtig in verandering. Hy is ons GPS🌸

Hierdie is só baie belangrik. Jy kan nie as ouer maatjies met jou kinders wees nie. Jy moenie bang wees vir grense stel nie - grense is goed vir beide jou en jou kind🌸

When a child can successfully defy your authority during his early years, he will develop contempt for everything you stand for, and is unlikely to emulate you on the things that matter most.

Luister altyd met n oop gemoed. Soms is jy egter so oorweldig, dat jy nie behoorlik kan HOOR nie. Daar's nie fout met jou nie. Dis jou senustelsel wat oorlaai is. Praat met my, sodat ons saam daardie senustelsel weer lig en kalm kry🌸

Ja, elkeen van ons is presies die ouer van spesifiek ons kind(ers)🙏

Heavenly Father,
You see every tear, every anxious thought, and every doubt that whispers, "I’m not enough."
Remind me, Lord, that You never called me to be a perfect parent—only a present one, dependent on You.

Fill me with Your strength where I feel weak, and Your wisdom where I feel lost.
Help me to parent with grace, not guilt—with faith, not fear.
Let Your peace rule in my heart, even when chaos swirls around me.
Teach me to trust that You are working in my child’s life—even when I can’t see it.

Thank You for choosing me for this role.
Help me believe that Your grace really is sufficient.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Mothers, as this post says, it is not about blame, it's about awareness.
Once you are aware of these facts, you wil focus on avoiding them and have a mentally strong and healthy child🌸

This isn’t about blame—it’s about awareness.
When parents soften, children finally feel permission to relax.❤️‍🩹

Mothers, who of you have a difficult relationship with your adult child(ren)?
Here is good advice🌸

One Sunday, I broke down in tears at a prayer meeting at church and asked what I could do to restore my adult son to me. He had made some chilling decisions, and I was powerless to change him.

A dear, older woman hurried across the room, sat down beside me, and slipped her arm around my shoulder. “Your parenting in the flesh is over,” she said softly. “It’s time to parent him in the Spirit. Pray for your son and trust God to do what you cannot do — and He will,” she added confidently as she advised me how to parent my grown children.

1. Recognize and respect your differences. See your children as people, individuals apart from your expectations. Look for the person God sees in your child.
2. Share wisdom and insight, not criticism. Our kids want to know who we really are - faults, failures, and all. Listen to all they have to share with eagerness and curiosity.
3. Relinquish your adult child to the Lord. If we do the vital inner work necessary to spiritual and emotional parenting, then relinquishing our children will be easier than we might expect. We will no longer feel compelled to use them as a means of working through the unfinished business of our past or as the focus of our future desires.

Ecclesiastes reminds us that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. Consider your own situation. Is the Lord telling you that now is the time for you to take steps to restore your relationship with your adult children? If so, incline your ears to the words of His mouth (Psalm 78:1). Admit your imperfections and commit them to a perfect God — who will guide, guard, and govern your sons and daughters in ways you could never carry out on your own. Then put into action the truths the Lord reveals.

60 years old! What now? You might be confused or feel useless with no purpose anymore or you're still a young adult, in the phase of being a young mom and uncertainties about how to raise this new little human being. Whichever phase, I've been through it and apart from having a lifetime's experience, I also have the tools of Neurocoaching to help you where you experience doubt, anxiety, loss or disheartenment.
