Mother's Instinct - Half way through the last term of the last school year, I started to sense a decline in my boys self esteem. He suddenly didn't think he was good enough, he started to make comments about his self worth and he demonstrated insecurities I hadn't seen in him before. I knew exactly where and who it was coming from and contemplated moving his school. But I had so many doubts! He knew his school, he only had one more year left there, I knew the heads very well, I was starting university in September and wouldn't be around for pick up or drop off - I didn't want to cause any more disruption in his life. So many things to think about. From the very beginning, my gut told me what I needed to do - but I spent sleepless nights, many a chat with family and friends agonising over my decision, worrying about what other people thought, analysing my doubts and fears. I finally bit the bullet, applied to another school and he got in. I felt relief! However, it's nothing on what I feel now. A weight has been lifted off and my heart is singing with joy. Moving him was the best decision and today I see a much happier, confident and assertive little boy. I believe nurturing self esteem is the most important thing at this age. Who they start to believe they are at 6 and 7 stays with them for a long time. I was chatting to a friend recently who was frustrated because her mum judgement was being questioned and I reminded her...we'll always have somebody questioning our choices but there is nothing quite like a mother's gut instinct. Trust, have faith and always follow it 💛 #gutinstinct #followyourgut #parenting #mysunshine #mycapturedmoment #mentalhealthday #love #makingmemories #childhoodunplugged #children
