Why Have Them If You Won’t Raise Them?

Why attention is what your children most need and want.

Think about this – if you were out of the office for the majority of each workday, your boss would have no choice but to fire you. You can’t do any job well if you’re not actually there to do it, and that includes mothering.

I’ll never stop beating the drum over how important the JOB of full-time mom is, because the facts don’t lie - a child’s ability to love, trust and feel secure in the world primarily comes from their relationship with mommy, and the first 3 to 5 years of life are the most important, developmentally.

There’s a lot more that goes into raising human being than just feeding and watching them. This week’s Deep Dive episode, “Why Have Them If You Won’t Raise Them?” is about why YOU cannot be replaced as a mother.
