Yes, you guessed right. This is a picture of me addressing at an online international conference on, “Human Capital Formation and Economic Development”!! 💞I believe that being a parent is an incredible journey filled with love, joy, sacrifice, and a whole lot of multi-tasking. ⏰From the moment we wake up to the moment we switch the last light off, we often find ourselves gracefully juggling different roles and responsibilities. 🚴‍♀️Parenthood transforms our homes into busy sanctuaries. We master the art of multi-tasking effortlessly as we change gears from time to time.

It is a testament of our ability to be resilient, adaptable and committed. Together let us navigate this journey as we show up for our children time and again. 📢Please share one of your favourite multi-tasking moments in the comments section.

One of the most important relationships in a person’s life is the mother-child relationship. However due to a variety of reasons this relationship can get strained and painful. Some reasons why a person may develop a strained relationship with their mothers: 💔Mother being neglectful or abusive towards the child. This can create deep wounds and also lead to a child distance themselves to avoid being further harmed. 💔Clash in values, beliefs and lifestyles can lead to conflicts and tension in the relationships. 💔Lack of emotional connectedness and inability to understand the child’s emotional needs can create feelings of loneliness and isolation. All is not lost!! Though a strained relationship with a mother can be painful, healing and reconciliation is possible. This repair can take some time and effort. Here are some steps that can be used to heal and build your relationship with your mother: ❤️Express your views in calm manner and you may find a common ground. ❤️Seek help from a therapist or a counsellor who may assist you in working through your emotions and finding helpful coping strategies. Also, try and join a support or online group of people who have experienced similar situations. As a counsellor my niche lies in promoting healthy relationships. You can also receive support and guidance to promote emotional regulation. Please feel free to make an appointment for a free 15-minuites chat @www.healingencounter.com.au

As a mum do you often get upset but can not pin point why you get upset ? 🌸One of the main reasons Mums can often get upset is because of the overwhelming responsibilities such as parenting, managing household chores and a job outside home they need to be manage. 🌸Often a mums contribution and efforts may go unrecognised and un appreciated by their partners or children and this could get them upset. 🌸 Mums can get upset if their children do not meet their expectations or act contrary to the family values. 🌸Whatever may be the reason you get upset make sure you recognise and address the reasons why you get upset. This will help you maintain a healthy and positive family environment.

What are some of the “fleeting moments”, you have experienced as a parent recently? How can a parent respond to fleeting moments in children? 🦋A fleeting moment is something that exists for a very short while. Much of our parenting involves work. The Australian Institute of Family Studies states that the percentage of working parents with children under 18 years of age is steadily increasing.. During our busy life parent-child moments happen. These moments can happen during the midst of our daily routine. 🦋As a parent it is important to being mindful of fleeting moments in your child’s life as these moments can provide many opportunities of learning, connection with your child and growth. Fleeting moments can be both positive or negative. As a parent, it is important for us to guide and support our children through these moments. As a counsellor one of my niche is to provide support to parents who feel concerned that they do not have enough time or skill to enjoy their parenting journey. Message or call me if you would want to avail of a 15- minutes free chat or go to my website www. Healingencounetr.com.au to read more about my work.
