89. Pinball Parenting

Sometimes motherhood is like playing a life-size game of pinball and YOU are the ball, being pinged from one unexpected parenting dilemma to another? What's a mom to do??  Let's talk about it in Episode 89, "Pinball Parenting," with Val Harrison, The Practically Speaking MOM on the podcast for intentional moms to build strong families.Pinball Parenting is… being pinged from one issue to the next where the issues may be vastly different from one another, usually unexpected, and often require some type of Houdini-level of expertise.After you listen to episode 89, CLICK HERE to read the corresponding blog post.   "Now we mamas are always multi-tasking moms – throwing in a load of laundry in the washer before heading out to take a kid to soccer practice and planning to have a character development talk with them along the drive while the toddler is snacking on a banana in the back seat.  That’s being a multi-tasking mom.   Multi-tasking is when we’re accomplishing multiple things. Pinball Parenting is when we’re being thrown into the unexpected bullring over here with this issue and then immediately we’re tossed into a game of Wipeout over there with another issue.   Pinball Parenting  is all the UNEXPECTED CURVE BALLS that require A LOT from a mama.  How can we be intentional even with the unexpected?
