“It’s not hard because we’re doing it wrong, it’s hard because it’s just too much. Do the best you can.” {Sponsored by YouTube Kids} No truer words than from @emilywkingphd while chatting to the YouTube Kids Parent Panel Team.
.

I’m going to be honest with you, I needed to hear these words. I needed to breathe these words in and I needed to write these words down and post them on my office wall. These are unprecedented times and it was soothing and helpful and necessary to chat with family psychologist Dr. Emily King and the YouTube Kids team.
.

I know we’re all in this together. I know we’re all stressed and worried about making everything work for our families. I know we’re all in waters we’ve never been in before. I know we are all trying everything we can to make all the areas of our life still work and function. I know we’re trying to make sure our kids are OK at this time. I know we’re all managing a million different thoughts and worries right now… but the words “DO THE BEST YOU CAN” are words I needed to hear.

Dr. King gave such great insight and hope and honesty about parenting during this pandemic. She stressed the importance of parental well-being and making sure we’re taking time for ourselves. She encouraged the essential piece of PLAYING for our kids and getting them outside and moving and active. She motivated us to keep the laughter alive in the house and keep routines in motion. She told us to make sure we’re still connecting with friends and family because this a vital for everyone’s well-being, too.
.

I can’t thank the YouTube Kids Team enough for connecting us with this incredible woman. She was so helpful and insightful. It was exactly what I needed to keep me going. My kids are my life… and I’m trying the best I can to keep their lives full, fun, special and meaningful right now with everything going on in the world. I also am taking her words to heart and staying on top of my own well-being now, too.

How are you taking time for your own well-being?

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
