Coming up on Happy Mom, Happy Baby, Parenting SOS.

Gee, I couldn't have said it better, right?

That feeling of I need to fit in, I need to conform, is the exact reason that we don't say I feel lonely.

Because if no one else is saying it, you don't say it.

I remember having him and feeling like, wow, everyone has lied to me.

Motherhood is messy and actually it's not happy all the time and I felt like there was

something wrong with me and I definitely felt myself sort of pull away from people.

From a generational point of view, we are the loneliest generation.

We're lonelier than our mothers. They were lonelier

than theirs. But it really is continuing to compound. This episode of Happy Mum, Happy Baby is sponsored

by Lego, where learning and play go hand in hand as toddlers create, imagine and explore. As a mum,

I know how important those early years are. They go by in such a blur, don't they?

I still remember sitting on the floor with Buzz, Buddy and Max building these little houses and castles.

And honestly, the look of pure pride at their creations. I loved it. And did you know that 90% of a child's brain develops before the age of five. That's why playtime is so much

more than just fun. Lego Duplo sets are specifically designed for little hands and they help

children build not only houses and rocket ships, but confidence, creativity and all those social and

emotional skills that are so important. And this year is extra exciting.

Lego Duplo has teamed up with Bluey.

So if you've got a Bluey fan at home, like I do,

you'll love the new sets inspired by Bluey, Bingo,

and the rest of the Healer family.

I am so excited.
