Description

Welcome back to The Sensational Kids Show as Aniesa reflects on how little she knew about everything when she became a parent. Tune in to hear why it’s okay to struggle, how to overcome self-doubt and limiting beliefs and why as parents we just need to do what we can with what we have.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• When your child is struggling and there’s so much you need to do, so many things their teacher is telling you to do to help them but it’s overwhelming. You have to believe in yourself, find your groove and be a bit more confident because it does get easier.

• It’s often hard to know how hard and how far to push your child. You want to promote independence but you also want to lead them down the right path that’s beneficial for their future.

• As parents we all just do what we can with what we have, we’re all just trying to get through it in the right way with some sanity intact.

• It's very hard to believe in yourself as a parent when we have a society of people who feel like they can just tell you what you should and shouldn't do,  how you should raise your kids and how you should discipline them. It’s actually none of their business.

BEST MOMENTS 

“I really was not confident in my skills, I just permanently felt out of my depth.”

“How far do you push? How far do you actually go? It’s all trial and error until you find what works for you and your relationship.”

“Don’t stress too much about what you’re doing because no one is necessarily doing any better or any worse.”

“It's all an adventure, it’s a roller coaster.”
