Up We Grow
Великобритания
Добавлен 4 июн 2020
Hello everyone! My name is Soraya. I am a mom of two beautiful children: my daughter Emma is 3 and my son Noah is 1. Becoming a mom is the craziest thing that has ever happened to me. It is both the most wonderful and the hardest job. It has made me grow in ways I could never have imagined. On this channel I want to talk about motherhood from a feminist perspective, have some open hearted discussions about real mommy struggles, but also rejoice in the beauty of this journey. Let's feel empowered, let's feel strong and beautiful, let's talk have the hard conversations, let's raise empowered children who will become fair, kind, balanced adults.

The opinion of one Canadian: the aspects of French culture described here are better than the alternatives.
I love the French approach
I don't think kids should not be forced to eat everything on their plates.
Very useful ❤
Amazing❤
“Adrenaline & deep breathing cannot coexist in the body at the same time” … 🤯🤯🤯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My mum lett me be bored also hahaha I was raised late 60.s . We had to find ways to play with other siblings or alone while my mum tend to the house. Not a Lott of activity was going on back then nor sreentime. And it's true you learn to be creative.
Very interesting. I've listened to a lot French parents and can say without a doubt this was my grandmother's take on parenting and my mother's. We have French ancestors on my grandmothers side and I can see a lot of these strategies carried over the generations. The only thing that did stick was the diet however, I am on a mission to correct this in my family. Thank you for sharing!
The chicken nugget thing in the US is absolutely a post Gen X phenomenon. Food may not have been as gourmet before the 90’s but kids did eat balanced meals much of the time with the whole family. Even school cafeteria food was somewhat balanced and included fresh fruits and vegetables. Somewhere we lost our way and traded saving time to cram more stuff in the day for nutrition and mealtimes. Of course not everyone is like this but the fact restaurants changed their children’s menus practically overnight and everyone just went with it says something about how much we value food, quality of ingredients, and mealtimes as a society. Collectively we have not been able to drive the food industry to do better. Our grocery stores are basically landmines of unhealthy chemical laden fake foods that we have been convinced are good or the standard. It’s very frustrating. Great effort, time and money goes into sourcing good food here. We just don’t have access to it as much as in France but that again is because we are not driving the demand for it due to our hustle get ahead at all costs culture. It’s a vicious cycle. I eat in the French or old fashioned American style but I know not everyone has the luxury to do so or do not see the value in it. So there we are. It will be interesting to see how things change over the next 50 years. Hopefully for the better! ❤
I love it! You are like a breath of fresh air !
this is great! i have to admit that my four-year old called me out on interrupting her recently. I apologized because we should treat children with the same respect that we want them to demonstrate!
Thank u so much needed this
Finally, someone who gives me tactics to stay calm bc my fight or flight is faster than my brain
Liberating! Thank you for your perspective!
Exactly how I am feeling currently, thank you for the video! I have a 2 and a almost 4 year old, living in UK, but coming from Hungary (left in 2018). I know from a while that I need a real break or just a good friend chat, my husband is very nice and trying to help me, but as you said it is not the same as talking to another mother. I find it very difficult in UK to make friendships, people are incredibly kind, but they don't let you close to them easily. Unfortunately, my family stayed in Hungary and our connection is not as good as before, they just keep critisizing me if I do something differently (e.g. I was an evil because I gave formula to my newborn baby when he didn't want to accept my breast milk). Anyway, I am trying to follow your tips and hoping it will be easier tomorrow. Stay strong and good luck to all the mummies! ❤
The more we learn about child development, the more compassion we have, and the better parents we will be.
Praise be to God, we Muslims draw reassurance from performing the prayer imposed on us by our Most Merciful, Wise Lord, in addition to the fact that its movements (prostration and kneeling) are among the important movements for childbirth. Likewise, patience in the face of pain and difficulties in anticipation of the eternal reward of the afterlife, and in obedience to God, without dissatisfaction with His destiny, expiates the sins of everyone who is patient. If I am a Muslim mother, I remind myself during childbirth that God will finally bless me with someone who will be my support and I will be his support, helping each other to do what the Creator created us for. And I gain the reward for raising him and those after him, an ongoing charity and mountains of good deeds that will never end on the Day of Judgment.
Thank you so much. I’m actually just an aunt helping raise my nieces and I don’t want us to raise my nieces the same way we were raised and these tips really helped a lot. I look forward to putting them in practice in our home
Wasn't expecting much from this video, but this was amazing and completely relatable. Thank you so so much.
I love your videos
Love your honesty in your videos. Parenting is such a struggle and your videos are so refreshing. Glad I came across them. Thank you❤
Here in Denmark, we don't feed our kids outside weekends. It is way too expensive. Kids don't talk to their parents, either. The first word they say to the parents, is when they are 18 years old, the word is goodbye.
I'm listening while folding my laundry and i nod soo many times like crazy. Thank you!! You are speaking out my mind
Thank you very much for this video. I have a 15 month old - who is amazing! Recently experiencing heavy burnout (I think) all of the symptoms/feelings you mentioned are completely relatable. I hope to utilize your tips asap. This burnout is the worst feeling but i feel a little better after watching your video. I hope you are well!! ❤
Well done.. My first viewing of your site. Really instructive on every front. It has allowed me to understand parenting styles in Bordeaux where we live now, including the all important place of eating in the food capital David W
well said
I’m a mother to be in Singapore and very much like in the UK & US, we put our child first as if they are the centre of the universe, and that made alot of them very entitled. I’m glad that I am exposed the French parenting and not feel guilty, or feel like motherhood has to be a sacrifice! Please make some more of such videos!! ❤
My triggers are going off waiting for you to get to the point 😂
It feels like I just went to church ❤. I am thankful for this video and I am thankful for you. ❤
I dont understand a single word from this mumbling. Please, learn correct pronounciation.
Love this!! Thank you 💗✨🙏
This is a very helpful video. Things are explained clearly with good examples. Thanks for your efforts.
I have trouble with this all the time I need to learn more gentle parenting than verbal anger when she does something wrong or pushes my buttons
Thankyou for this video. I am mother and I can relate to what you said😊
New follower. Appreciate this content SO much.
❤
Thank you
Too much screen time has spoiled my child. 😭😭😭. I hope I can fix him
Excellent advice, I wish I'd known this 40 years ago.😄
Thank you so much ❤
LOVE LOVE LOVE this
I really needed to hear this today 😢 THANK YOU ❤
Thank you for your tips and info.. I am looking forward to a home birth of my first child in the coming weeks.. 🙏🌹❤ here in the Netherlands home birth without medication is not uncommon, but it's still very exciting and I'm trying to prep myself as good as possible....❤
I love your honesty I had an eye opening talk with my mom and realized I have been much more mean than gentle with my toddler after having my baby. So overwhelmed and stressed and never doing anything for myself. But this is not her fault. I want her to feel loved and gentle parent her. I want her to feel safe, not scared in going to scold her. I don’t know what to do I just want to be better
Starts 11:40
I really love your videos. They are very insightful.
Took 4 min to get to the point
Will these strategies work as a kindergarten teacher?
Great job 🎉
