A Mama’s Musings
My blog is like a cup of tea with your bestie, where I spill the beans (and maybe a little baby food) on our daily adventures. You'll find heartfelt reflections on the joys and challenges of motherhood, mixed with the occasional tongue-in-cheek tale that'll have you nodding in solidarity.
The Elf Dilemma
In the festive buzz of Christmas traditions, I find myself entangled in an unexpected dilemma – shoud the Elf on the Shelf grace our home and become part of our evolving Christmas traditions? As a clinical psychologist and advocate for responsive, gentle, and attachment-focused parenting, this decision has unexpectedly become a complex journey. To be honest, the Elf on the Shelf didn’t register on my parenting radar until a few weeks ago. The whimsical dolls, supposedly Santa’s eyes and ears, seem harmless but carry a not-so-jolly message – behave, or face the risk of no presents on Christmas morning.
