When your child will describe their childhood, what is the kind of story you hope they tell?
I hope my son remembers his childhood full of laughter, and full of love all around him.
What did you receive from your own mother/mother-figure that has been the most impactful or formative to you in your mothering?
So many things but most of all a safe place of non-judgement, love and support. She never put pressure on me to do or be anything I didn't want to. She gave me the confidence and encouragement to explore and be my own person, the space to figure myself out on my own terms, to learn, do, mess up, and at the end of the day be there to tell me that I'm doing great.
