In this episode, I am sharing how every morning is like a battle for all mothers like me to prepare their kids for school. When the alarm goes off, and instantly, it's Mom vs. Morning. From the moment my feet hit the floor, I'm juggling so many tasks—waking up my daughter, negotiating breakfast choices, and racing against the clock. The struggle of getting my daughter ready for school sometimes feels like a whirlwind of chaos. No matter how much I plan the night before, it seems there’s always something that catches me off guard—a lost shoe, an unexpected meltdown, or even my exhaustion.

There are days I question if I am winning this battle. But through all the madness, I have learned to find small victories. A five-minute head start, a pre-packed lunch, or even a moment of calm over breakfast makes the difference. I remind myself that every mom faces her version of this morning's madness, and while it may feel overwhelming, we’re stronger than we think. The key is accepting that it's okay if things don’t go perfectly every day. Each morning is a new chance to reset and try again.

So, if you are out there, racing through your morning like me—know that you are not alone. We are all in this together, fighting to win the battle of getting our kids ready for school, one messy morning at a time. I am sure you will love this episode and also would like to listen to all the experiences you are having while making your kids ready for school.

In this episode, I am sharing how storytelling is not just a fun activity, it's about the gateway of Imagination and Critical thinking for my daughter. Storytelling is a powerful tool for both imagination and critical thinking. When I share stories with my daughter, I am not just providing entertainment; I am also helping her develop essential cognitive and emotional skills. Through stories, she can explore different worlds, understand diverse perspectives, and grapple with complex problems safely and engagingly.

This process which always enhanced my daughter's critical thinking, let me share;

1. Imagination: Stories can introduce any kid to new worlds and allow them to envision possibilities beyond their immediate experience. This imaginative exercise helps her think creatively and expand her horizons.

2. Critical Thinking: As she follows a story’s plot, she is learning to anticipate the outcomes, recognize patterns, and evaluate characters' decisions. Discussing why characters made certain choices or what might happen next can foster her ability to analyze the reason.

3. Empathy: Stories often involve characters with diverse backgrounds and challenges. By engaging with these characters, my daughter can develop a deeper understanding of others' emotions and perspectives, which enhances her emotional intelligence.

4. Problem-solving: Many stories feature problems that characters need to overcome. Analyzing these situations has helped my daughter think through solutions and understand the consequences of different actions.

5. Language Skills: Through storytelling, she can encounter new vocabulary and language structures, improving her communication skills and expanding her ability to express herself.

Encouraging her to create her own stories is incredibly beneficial. It allows her to experiment with ideas, structure narratives, and practice articulation, all while fostering a love for both storytelling and learning.

In this episode, I am talking about “Am I good enough?” “Am I Worth Enough?” echoes through many mothers' minds. As a mother, you give so much of yourself every day, and it’s important to recognize and appreciate your value.

Motherhood is both magical and demanding. As soon as my baby was born, it felt like everything was essential. I was constantly thinking about what was best for my daughter, which led to a lot of stress because I was looking for everything that was best for her. Balancing work, and home life, and where I can feel like we're not doing enough.

In this Motherhood journey, these elements will keep on reminding us that we are worth enough;

Unconditional Love: Our love for our children is profound and unwavering. This love provides them with a secure foundation and helps them grow into confident individuals. That alone speaks volumes about our worth.

Sacrifice and Dedication: The countless hours we spend caring for our family, whether it's through late-night feedings, school runs, or simply being there to listen, showcase our dedication. Our sacrifices are a testament to our strength and character.

Role Model: By navigating life’s challenges and showing compassion, we model important values for our children. Our actions teach them about perseverance, empathy, and integrity.

Unique Qualities: Every mother has her unique strengths and qualities. Our personalities, talents, and experiences make us the perfect mother for our children. They are shaped by who we are, and that’s incredibly valuable.

Being “good enough” or "worth enough" is not about an unattainable standard of excellence but about the love and dedication we pour into our role as a mother. Our efforts, no matter how imperfect, contribute to the growth and well-being of our children. Seeing things this way can calm our inner critic and remind us that we are good enough.
