Today is šŸ“š

Here are some of the benefits of reading:
*Mental health: Reading can reduce stress, lower heart rate, and ease muscle tension. A 2009 study from the University of Sussex found that reading can reduce stress by up to 68%.
*Brain health: Reading improves memory by creating new neurons and strengthening existing connections. It also helps with concentration.
*Vocabulary: Reading helps you learn new words and improve your word flow.
*Knowledge: Reading can improve your knowledge of the world and open your mind to different ideas.
*Writing: Reading can improve your writing skills and comprehension.
*Other skills: Reading can improve your empathy, imagination, creativity, and confidence. It can also help you socialize and build a foundation for success in your work and relationships.

Parenting is stressful enough without these cliches, which ultimately shame and invalidate Mom/Dadā€™s experiences.
Which one gets under your skin the most? Do you have any extras to add?

The experience of parenting has evolved drastically over the past 15-20 years. What once consisted of neighbors, close friends and family members, new parents now have a ā€œvillageā€ that consists of strangers from across the world (mommy-bloggers, self proclaimed gurus) and are inundated with a wide range of information and opinions through social media and websites. Itā€™s no wonder new parents are feeling increasingly overwhelmed and decreasingly self assured! šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«
As an *actual* expert trained in the topics of child development and parenting (as well as a mother of 2), I urge everyone to narrow their focus, do some research, check those sources, and follow the guidelines and advice of trusted individuals, with whom values align.

*Personally, I am partial to the Birth to Age 5 publication by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which offers reassurance to caregivers via research backed information on developmental milestones *

Also, if you are in the early stages of parenthood, and something just feels ā€œoffā€, please donā€™t pass your feelings off as ā€œthe baby bluesā€ or ā€œnew parent nervesā€. Seek help from a professional who can assess for PMADs (This applies to Dads and non-birthing parents too!)

Today is and to celebrate, Iā€™m encouraging all of my followers to repeat this mantra.
It is important to recognize both our unique beauty and gifts that we bring to the world as well as our struggles and opportunities for growth or improvement- neither of which detract from the other.

No feelings are ā€œbad feelingsā€. Are some uncomfortable? Sure. Undesirable? Of course! But all feelings serve a purpose as your mind and bodyā€™s way of reacting to your circumstances. Feel them. Acknowledge them. And move on.

Looking for the silver linings and focusing on your blessings are great! Countless studies have shown how an optimistic attitude and gratitude can positively impact daily functioning and overall well-being. However, putting pressure on yourself or others to ONLY be happy (and ignore the less pleasant emotions) can also lead to issues including feelings of alienation and disconnection in relationships.
Remember: Emotional health involves the healthy and effective expression of ALL emotions rather than ignoring or dismissing those that are uncomfortable.
