Letting Go of “Mom Guilt” and Prioritizing Your Child’s Needs
In Episode 40, you hear us talk all about our Elf on the Shelf experiences and how we are finding ourselves feeling like we’d like we need to revamp the purpose behind the Elf’s mission. Hoping to move away from the “naughty or nice” purpose – we chat about ways to incorporate positive reinforcement into your Elf’s presence in your home. And how to encourage kindness and acts of service with your children throughout the Christmas season!
News Alert! In order to bring about the magic of Christmas, the Elves needs help showing Santa all of the kind and loving examples that are out there in the world… because without love and kindness the magic of Christmas just doesn’t exist! That’s where the kiddos come in – the Elves are recruiting their help to report back to Santa ways that they are being kind and loving to others. And with this, the Elves can help fuel the Christmas magic that we all know and love! Listen to the full episode to hear our game plan on how we plan to shift the focus of “acting good for Santa” to “spreading kindness and love”… it’s a fun idea that can be adapted for age and situation – all while keeping the focus on kindness.
In the episode, you’ll also hear the idea of starting a “Christmas Kindness Journal”!
Hopefully you’ll join us in this fun re-vamp of Elf of the Shelf and share your experiences on social with hashtag #KindChristmasActs. And follow us @themomvoicepodcast so we can reshape them. We hope to make this a meaningful experience for our children, and one that encourages them to look for selfless, kind ways to give back to others!
Need ideas for acts of kindness? This is a challenge that we will both be doing with our families throughout the Christmas season! Light The World is an easy way to generate service opportunities for your family… it’s been so great in years past and we’re excited to do it again!
