It’s not easy celebrating a big day in the age of Covid, but we tried to make Little Miss 🌈🌈🌈’s 2nd Birthday as special as could be today! Charlie Raine, you astound me every day with how sweet, hilarious, curious, and strong you are. I hope I never, ever make you feel like you have to be one thing or another. My goal as your mama, which happens to be my favorite title in the whole 🌎, is just to allow and encourage you to unfold into the amazing individual that you are. Artist, accountant, bird-watcher, neurosurgeon, musician, acrobat... wherever life takes you - I only pray that you are filled with joy and love. Then I’ll know I have done my job. • In the meantime, I will handle rainbow 🎂, pigtails, unicorn 🦄 balloons, and toy trucks. Deal? • . • . • . • . • . • #raisethemkind #raisethemstrong #rainboweverything #unicornsanctuary #charlieraine #mywholeworld🌎 #twoyearsyoung (at Elizaville, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CChHr2apZxy/?igshid=1kkhzdieg6wzv

I sit here looking at my #grandprincess as she does her schoolwork and I can only pray that her generation is being raised to understand that girls being harassed is the boys fault, not the girls. I also hope girls are being raised to punch a pervert in the face for touching her inappropriately. Please raise the babies to be good humans that know bullying is wrong and how to have discussions to work through disagreements. Raise them to understand no one is better than another and we all need each other; the world might eventually be a better place if you do. . . . #MotherMela says #raisethemtodobetter #raisethemright #raisethemkind #theyAreOurFuture (at Heceta Beach, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUF52ndPE1w/?utm_medium=tumblr

I saw this photo on Instagram a while back and I adore the diversity of the dolls she has for her daughter. I think that even though it is a small thing to do, it makes a world of a difference for your children to have diversity in every day life.

Something we can always teach our little men... is that they should always be gentlemen! I feel as if this is something that a lot of men weren’t taught and I for sure don’t want to add to that number!

Posted @withregram • @chelsea.macphail I used to be very insecure.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Actually I am still battling my insecurities and finding my way into feeling confident to stand up for myself in a way that honors who I am. Which means without reacting and yelling and being rude in defense. There used to be a lot of that.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spent years becoming a therapist, working with children and trying to build my confidence with knowledge, hoping it would protect me from making mistakes and make me a good mom whenever that time came.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What I have learned on this journey in motherhood is that I still have so much more to do in the journey of growing myself up into the human I want to be.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have also learned that when I let go of the facts, the “shoulds”, the drive to be perfect, and the fear of others' opinions - and just be with my daughter, engaging with her and enjoying her for exactly who she is - that I am in that moment being the best mom possible.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I still get sucked into thinking that there is something more I could know, or do, or buy that will offer Taylor the best childhood. And then I breathe, and I remember my favorite new mantra which comes from Gordon Neufeld.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I am my child’s best bet. I don’t have to know all of the answers, I just need to be the answer for her.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And reflecting on that, I realize that I feel most empowered as a mother, because I know Taylor, I can read her cues, respond to her needs and step into that caregiving role with love, empathy, respect and confidence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It is safe to trust my intuition. I am her best bet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And mama, so are you. You are the best mother to your little one. And I hope you can keep that in your heart always.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #babyledsleep #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #responsiveparenting #mindfulmama #letthembelittle #raisingthefuture #reparenting #babysleepconsultant #lifeasamama #toddlermomlife #raisinglittles #raisethemkind #joyfulmamas #simplymamahood #honestmotherhood #anxiousmama #mamastrong #theconsciousparent https://www.instagram.com/p/CDQ7uobH9PT/?igshid=mrm24yg724fp

Hanging out with this sweet kid. On the phone with his cousin in the car: “We’re going to Jeri’s house to see Mako. Mako is the cutest big dog ever...except for Emerson and Jonah(cousin’s big dogs🥰), of course!” Signs of good parenting- inclusivity and not wanting anyone to feel less than. Great job @busybombshelle for this - of many - parenting wins, and for creating a really kind human🥰 #kindnessmatters #goodhuman #raisethemkind #empathchick (at Coral Springs, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7g_0eng4Ip/?igshid=1q60bnhpbximj

I want you to stay little, and I want to watch you grow.

And I want to remember your song, drifting down the hallway,

even the one at night.

Accompanied by the pitter patter of feet before I lift you into our bed.

And when I need a moment,

I’ll still keep you near, before this moment disappears.

So stay little, will you?

But please grow, and grow.

So one day, as you tower above me, I may rest my head on your chest instead.

I wonder what that will be like.

How that could even be possible when right now we play ice cream trucks, and your bottom lip still drops.

Will I remember the days I stood up even when I fell short?

Will I remember how hard and beautiful they were?

Can you stay little a bit longer?

But I love watching you grow.

Yes you can help me with the washing,

it’s OK you dropped it, let’s dust it off.

Yes you are a great helper, more than you’ll ever know.

I’ll read that book again, and again.

I’ll watch the expressions you make before you’re able to choose them.

I’ve never smiled in the morning so much until we met.

And you can walk with me before our path splits in two.

You can hold my hand before you let it go.

I’ll always remember you this little.

But I can’t wait to watch you grow.

……………………..

I wish I still had her optimism and joy 😁😊Luckily it is contagious so we get a good dose every time she is near. She was born with wonder 😍and an appreciation for everything in life, and as the gets older that wonder gets stronger. I am so thankful for that, for so often we lose the magic that makes us truly special. She looks at everything like it is an opportunity, and the normal and boring is turned into excitement. Oh how I love her❤️! @smoldr_smokehouse . . . . . #A1 #kids #love #mytinytribe #family #thefuture #raisethemright #raisethemgood #raisethemkind #keepthewonder #theworldisamazing #amazing #kidsareamazing #lovethem #kidsofinstagram #smoldr #ourprideandjoy #ipreview via @preview.app (at Pretoria, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4hve7kp5h-/?igshid=p8lojycz8zse

💚 BE KIND 💚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our son Cosmos (@cosmos.adventute) turned 4 not so long ago! yey! ...and of course, as any forward-looking Millennial parent, we are on a mission to raise our son as a smart, confident & open-minded next-generation thought leader. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Love that so many authors of childrens books are now departing from traditional stories, and are focusing their attention on things that really matter. Topics that teach kids kindness, acceptance, tolerance, diversity, teamwork, self-confidence, healthy living (both physical and mental), and making environment-oriented eco-friendly sustainable lifestyle choices.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'd like to share one of such awesome books we've recently discovered: "BE KIND" by Pat Miller @patzmiller, beautifully illustrated by Jen Hill @jenhillstudio⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well written, easy for a toddler mind to grasp, the book focuses on simple concepts of being kind: helping a friend, a senior, defending a little one, supporting one another and gives real-life examples of how we can practice kindness in day-to-day life. As a parent, I see the importance of teaching these early to prevent kids from engaging in bullying, non-tolerance, and indifference.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ do you know any other books you can recommend? Please share! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kidsbooks #kidsbooksinstagram #kidsbookswelove #kidsbooksshelf #kindness #bekind #findingkindness #earlyeducation #important #smart #leadership #inspiration #smartchildren #confidence #inspire #reading #readingtomychild #raisethemkind #kindkids #RandomActsOfKindnessDay #kindnessismagic #actofkindness #beagoodhuman #kindnessisfree #kindnesscounts — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2RpU3Nq

This is something important to me and something I want put first in my household with my children. When I was growing up there was never a conversation and it was never a reality because Racism was never acknowledged. My children will have these discussions and learn about the past /continual suffering, the privilege that we have and how to stand up to be the change.
