They also wanted to translate the hard work SAHMs face on a daily basis to that of skills that can be used in the corporate world when they decided to go back to work outside of the home. This is where Persistiny and Tend were born. Aileen and Felicia provided Celeste and Magen with plenty of laughs during their chat because everything they said were extremely relatable to the pa

At the time of this post, the coronoavirus, COVID-19, is trending across the globe. It's just entered the United States where it's spanning across 13 states. It's everywhere. It's on the brink of becoming a pandemic. So far, more than 90,000 cases and more than 3,000 deaths have been reported. Maybe it's because this is a new virus to us and that's why everyone is talking about it and people are fearful of it, and Celeste and Magen thought it is important to share with you all what types of precautions you can take to protect yourselves and your child(ren) against the virus in this short episode.

What's the best way to discipline your child? What happens when your child will not listen to you? Celeste and Magen have gone through this – and continue to go through this – several times a day. It's part of parenting. We are constantly repeating ourselves and our children are constantly fighting us. We share how we tackle irrational toddler behaviors and our struggles with our independent mini me kids. SPOILER ALERT: IT ISN'T EASY. It's also not a one-size-fits-all approach. At the end of the day, it's what works best for you and your children. Period. Join us as we navigate these rough waters and the approach we take along with what resources we've found along the way to help us.  Resources in this episode: Book: "WILD THINGS: the art of nurturing boys" by Stephen James and David Thomas Connect with us: Email Instagram Facebook Twitter SUBSCRIBE, RATE, REVIEW, LIKE, SHARE! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/motherforking/support

Being mindful is one way to reduce the stress of being a parent and practicing mindfulness means paying attention to what’s happening in the moment and accepting those experiences and feelings without judgment.  We wanted to dive a bit further into this topic on tonight’s episode because we find it’s helpful for us while we parent our kids and it seems to have a positive effect on them, too! It helps us to listen to our children with our full attention, accept them – and ourselves – without judgement (or try to anyway!), validate our children’s feelings and respond accordingly, manage our own feelings and reactions, and show compassion for ourselves and our children.  Resources from the show: Shop Clean App: Think Dirty and Book: Mindful Birthing: Training The Mind, Body, And Heart For Childbirth And Beyond  Connect with Celeste and Magen at Mother Forking Podcast!
