In today’s Supermom Short, Amy Grace discusses the powerful impact that the stories we tell about our children have on their self-esteem, our relationship with them, and how others perceive them. She encourages moms to be mindful of the stories they share, whether positive or negative, and to consider how these stories shape their children's sense of self. Amy highlights the importance of balancing challenging moments with affirmations of your children's strengths and positive qualities. By consciously celebrating your kids and sharing positive stories, you can foster a sense of self-worth in them and create a more joyful parenting experience for yourself.

Key Takeaways:

• The Power of Stories: The stories we tell about our children can shape their self-perception and our connection with them.

• Balancing the Negative with Positive: While it’s important to acknowledge challenges, it’s equally important to celebrate and share your kids' strengths and positive moments.

• Let Your Kids Hear Positive Stories: Make sure your children hear you speak highly of them, even in front of others, to build their self-esteem.

• Mindful Storytelling: Be cautious about the frequency of negative stories and work to highlight positive moments and achievements.

• Mindset Shift: Focusing on the good in motherhood and your kids can lead to a more positive experience for both you and your children.
