What do Mother's Want?

As a Parent Coach I hear from moms who just want to do the right, loving things for their family. They want to make sure they are doing everything to give their children the best life they possibly can.  I am blessed to be able to help so many wonderful parents.  With May being the month for us to celebrate mothers, I would like to address the needs and wants of mothers.  (Father's Day is in June so dads, you will not be forgotten).  What do you want from your children, husband, and your mother?  Do you even have time to think about it?  Well...think about it.  We all need to be seen, appreciated and cared for.  How do we get that message across without feeling selfish?  It's OK to be selfish.  If you tell your children that you would like some extra hugs and thank yous more often, think of how great they will feel when they give you that and make you smile.  If you want more compliments, attention,  help from your husband, ask him for it.  Maybe you just want to stay in bed a little later... let him know.  Do you need some questions answered from you mother?   Tell her how much it would mean to you to know the history of the family (or whatever you want to know).  Whatever it is you need, or would like, it's always good to let them know.  People who love you want to make you happy.   You are giving them a gift as well to let them do this for you.  Be sure to save some TLC for yourself while giving it so freely to your family.
