Your Child Needs a Real Parent, Not a Perfect One

Your child doesn't need you to be happy all the time—they need you to be real. Showing a healthy range of emotions teaches them that it's okay to feel sad, frustrated, or overwhelmed sometimes. It’s not about hiding your struggles, but modeling how to work through them without guilt or shame.

When you name your feelings, take deep breaths, and return with calm, you’re showing your child emotional resilience. You don’t need to pretend everything’s fine—you just need to stay connected and present.

Give yourself the same grace and compassion you offer your child when they’re having a hard time. Healing together is more powerful than pretending to hold it all together.

Parenting is the hardest, most beautiful, and most humbling job in the world.

And if I could go back and whisper something to my past self—the exhausted, overwhelmed, trying-her-best version of me—here’s what I’d say:

1️⃣ Calm is more powerful than control
2️⃣ Behavior is communication, not defiance
3️⃣ Connection builds cooperation—not compliance
4️⃣ Boundaries create safety, not fear
5️⃣ Big emotions don’t need control
6️⃣ Discipline means to teach, not punish

I used to believe my child was pushing my buttons, purposely misbehaving.
But the truth is → behavior is always communication.

Our little people can’t say, “Mum, I’m overwhelmed. I need your help.” So they show us through whining, crying, hitting, or melting down.

And I used to think being a “good parent” meant staying in control.
But parenting isn’t about control — it’s about guidance.

✨ Guidance builds trust.
✨ Trust builds influence.
✨ Influence carries you through toddlerhood, tween years, and beyond.

If I had known these 6 truths sooner, I would have spent less time reacting… and more time guiding ✨

Taking turns and sharing in early childhood develops children’s social emotional skills in the early years, helping them to thrive in school and later life.
We see turn taking begin when playing peek-a-boo with babies. But it doesn't end there! Examples of turn taking include: So what does turn taking mean? Turn taking, or the act of taking turns in a situation, conversation, or even means sharing space and time with another individual. Turn taking can look like many things:

💙Speaking and then listening when others speak in a conversation
💙Taking turns in a game
💙Taking turns in line to get a drink from a water fountain
💙Waiting one’s turn in a food like like in the cafeteria
💙Taking turns in speaking during circle time or sharing time in the classroom
💙Taking turns with a favorite toy
💙Waiting while others have an opportunity to receive services such as a food server in a restaurant
