Day 6 & 7 - 365 Days Of Gentle Parenting

Well, These were 2 GOOD Days, as far as finding Joy in Motherhood is concerned. I think 1 secret to finding joy in motherhood or parenting for that matter is to not expect perfection.  So yes, I allowed my kids an hour (and another half maybe) of screen time, because I wanted to sit through a very important fb live yesterday and a feel good zoom meeting today. I am a little guilty, but not beating myself over it.  What is that one thing, you do as a parent, wherein you do feel guilty, but decide to continue with the practice, because you know its important for your sanity (or sometimes even survival)?  And yes watch the important live session, I have been dancing over here - https://fb.watch/3KoUG0bUVO/

However hard I try, I continue to have had melt-downs with my kids. I know shouting on kids has an adverse effect on their psyche and I too get affected badly. Whenever I am off to do something professionally, it kills me to know that I have not been kind enough to my kids and that robs me of all high spirits. The only way is to break the pattern. Beginning 12 Feb'21, I am embarking on a 365 days journey of my transformation as a mother. I want to be accountable and so I am going to put up daily updates in this space of how I am doing with my goal - 365 Days Of Gentle Parenting !
