Intentional Love in Parenting

Coach Ambereen’s short YouTube monologue encourages parents to practice "intentional love": being present, pausing before reacting, and compassionately guiding children. She illustrates this with a home anecdote about hosting nieces and nephews (a sleepover) and a moment with her daughter and a three-year-old nephew—highlighting hugs, verbal affirmation, gentle redirection, and the value of creating loving memories through small, mindful actions.

A joyful day to you. I pray that today you take a small. You take small pauses throughout the day to really become more present in gratitude so you can add a ton of joy into your life. Hey, welcome to these beautiful series that I've created just only for you and with only you in mind as I reveal how to become X mom. And you can be an ex dad to the Solidify, which is basically a parent who, who consciously takes time to understand their kids, accept them as they are, and through compassionate love, they embrace and kind of allow their kids to step into the best of who they are, which in hindsight kind of comes back to us as parents. That way we can better serve ourselves and every single one of those interactions around us. Today's small clip is just on intentional love, an expression of love, you know, so to speak. I was at home today and my nephews and nieces actually spend the night. So it was lovely to have six kids in the house, all of whom were sitting peacefully, having breakfast together and sharing moments, you know, throughout the day. And my niece, who I first met in the bathroom, can just give her a ton of love and expressed a whole lot of love through hugs and through kisses. And she kept saying, like, you smell so good. You smell so good. What is it that you're wearing? And I took a pause and I said, you know, I love you very much for who you are and how you show up. And told her the. The perfume, so to speak, that I was wearing and went downstairs, you know, after giving a ton of love to my second as well. And just watching the two, you know, one was on my right, was on my left. And these two are super sweet and thoughtful little kids, and they're building connections by doing simple things like a sleepover. And these, these cousins have memories that they're creating together because we as adults are allowing and embracing these sleepovers, which a lot of times will consist of a lot of fights, yelling and screaming, and personality clashes. However, when we can navigate by just taking a pause before reacting, we really bring out the best of ourselves. And the same thing happened as I was saying, I went downstairs and now my daughter is sitting there and my niece and my nephew are sitting there as well. And I get there, I'm like, hey, kiddos, my daughter, like, come here and give me a hug. And it just felt so good to hear that. Almost felt like, okay, I must be doing something right for my little human to have wanted a hug. Just stood up and just hugged me and embraced me. And then I looked at my little nephew who's only three years old, and. And just the way he's communicating, you know, expressing who he is and us kind of embracing that alongside, just guiding him to be just a little bit kinder, more gentler. You know, instead of saying, I'm going to punch and kick the dog, say, why don't you just be nice to the dog because you don't want the dog to come and punch and kick you. And it's in these small moments when we show up with full awareness and presence and make an intentional connect that through this interaction, we have an ability to serve somebody else that we truly find the best of who we are. With that said, sending you a ton of umbergy filled with joy, gratitude, presence, and love. This is X Mom signing out. Bye.
