Dear Mojo Sister’s,
I was so fortunate in 2009 to have five babies born into my very dear circle of friends. My friends are all great mother’s and share a very mindful concern – how do I build my baby to be a strong person with great confidence and healthy self-esteem?
This question constantly comes up in various wording. Therefore, I did a little research and found this fabulous article on just that subject. Understanding the Power of Healthy Self-Esteem and Children, in it Dr. Aubrey Fine concludes “help them discover the power within them and to help them acknowledge their individual assets.” Did you get that, “within them,” and “individual assets” that is the Mojo principle of “base.” Utilizing the internal building blocks from babyhood of trust, respect, pride and love. These traits you install in your baby will give them a base so they can handle life’s many turbulence. No big bad wolf ever blew down the brick house – the foundation was just too strong!
The same principles applies for You. If you are re-raising yourself, like I did, start from the inside out. Build that foundation a little each day in yourself and your loved ones! It’s a gift that last a lifetime. Let me know what creative ways you are using to build your babies Mojo Base.
All my best,
Dear Mojo
