What I Wish My Mother Taught Me

35 episodes

5 days ago

I am Nikki, a mom of two. I believe that our childhood experiences shape us as adults and can help empower our knowledge and actions as parents. Are there things you wish someone had told you the truth about? Things you had to learn on your own but the experience would have been much easier if someone had warned you about it or told you the honest truth about it. I wish I knew more about things. I wish I knew more about marriage before I got married, or I wish I knew more about parenting before I became a parent. In each episode, we’ll have conversations with other women, and sometimes men, about childhood lessons learned and lessons lost and how they impact us. Hear from real women as they discuss relationships with their mothers, their relationships with their children, what they learned from their mothers, what they teach their children. We dive into other relationships, like marriage, relationships with other women, struggles with anxiety, fear of failure, and successes. What I Wish is an excellent opportunity to learn from other women and hear how all mothers have shared experiences. Are you ready to find deep meaning in parenting? We’ll share real-life tips and approaches to navigating life, using what we wish we knew to help us be better parents and better to ourselves. My goal is to help mothers and daughters have a good relationship from a young age into adulthood.

Learning Through Play with Sally, the TenderHearted Teacher

I can't believe we are back to school in two weeks. In honor if returning back to school, I thought we shoudl revist one of my favorite episodes with one of my favorite Early Childhood Teachers, TenderHearted Teacher, Sally.

Thank you for joining me on another episode of What I Wish My Mother Taught Me. In this episode, I chat with Sally, a toddler mom, and special education preschool teacher. Sally has over 10 years of experience working with young children.

Sally is the Education blogger behind The Blog TenderHearted Teacher. Her blog and social media platforms provide topics on early academics, Social-emotional learning; she uses her platform to support other parents and caregivers by giving them strategies on how to encourage overall development. I am obsessed with providing kids with critical thinking skills at an early age; Sally does a wonderful job of breaking down critical thinking skills and introducing the skill to kids as part of their early education.

Highlights:

At a Higher level, critical thinking skills allow us to take in new information, use it, and allows us to form new ideas. Set goals, communicate, and collaborate with others.
