It's not easy to watch our kids fiddle with something that would take us two seconds to do, right?

It could be also super annoying or super triggering.

Like, I totally get it.

But I would just encourage you to resist the urge to just jump in and do it for them because it'll be faster.

Let them vacuum the living room, even if you have to leave the room while they're doing

to give them the space to learn because they're not going to get better and they're not going to

grow in that independence in the task without the opportunity to practice being independent.

Welcome back to the motherhood podcast, a live workshop style podcast that is helping thousands of

the gap between their vision of motherhood and what they're

It is another Motherhood Monday, and I am so excited to have you guys here with me today.

This episode is dropping on July 4th, and I couldn't help my cheesy self. So today,
