Teaching our Kids about Self-Care

Published on: 7th April, 2024

If you’ve been listening along to the podcast for a while, you’ve probably heard us talk about being living proof and living our self-care in ways that current match this phase of our life. What do you think our kids think about all this self-care talk and what does it mean to them? We explore how we are teaching the self-care down the generations and in this episode discuss:

  • Regulation and when emotions get larger than a mountain.
  • Finding out what they enjoy.
  • Talking to ourselves, them, and others about self-care and with kindness.
  • Including them in self-care activities, while taking leadership alongside.
  • Allowing them to take the lead.
  • Self-care for boys and men too, how do they talk about it?
  • Do you explain to them that your self-care is self-care and why you do it?
  • Do you explain something that you recognise is self-care for them as a self-care practice?

We would love to hear from you, it always encourages us to know you are listening along! Please reach out to us at muckedupmyselfcarepodcast@gmail.com with any questions, suggestions, or comments from this episode.

About the Podcast

Mucked Up My Self-Care Podcast
Real, Raw and Unedited Conversations From Two Global Moms/Mums
A podcast for moms about the real, raw, and unscripted perspectives of guilt-free self-care by two moms across the globe. This unedited podcast is real life and their personal experiences told in friendly conversation style. Advocating for all moms who have mucked up their self care.

There are so many others out there that aren't successfully solving the real problem of trying to figure out what self-care is. We want to bring to light the reality of what self-care can look like for moms who struggle to fit it in, don't know what will work for them, and the ways that it hasn't worked. We want to have conversations about the guilt we feel when we are pressured to mother ourselves when we don't know how and aren't given the support to in our society today.
