A short YouTube monologue by Coach Ambereen sharing a parenting anecdote about deliberately practicing trust, observation, and non-interference with her child. She recounts resisting the urge to control morning routines, stepping back, and discovering the child completed responsibilities independently—framing this as a lesson for parents to observe rather than over-manage.
Powerful day to you. Hope today brings the moment when you really take back control of how you act. I am leaning on a lot more and practicing a little more as well, which is this essence of trusting. Trusting, but learning to be more observant versus communicating and talking. Just kind of watching the ride instead of being part of it. And this is a shift in a pivot that I'm really focusing on. And I saw myself in the morning today, you know, lose my control a little bit and then try my best to gain it. To gain it re. Gain it again or gain it back. My kiddo was in some, you know, in some rut today. And, you know, I told myself, don't, you know, don't be over. Don't be overbearing and let them do their thing. And they didn't wake up. You know, I had communicated to them last night to make sure that you're awake and up by yourselves because it's not my responsibility to wake you up since you're choosing to go to sleep late. They said, okay, okay, Mom. But it's like the time is going, and I'm looking at the clock and they didn't wake up. So I kind of pulled off their blankets and, you know, it's time to rise. You gotta wake up. And they thought, I'm just, you know, kind of like gonna go back again and again and wake them up. I took a spray bottle of water and squirted it on their faces, and I saw mama. And then I was, okay, that's the best thing to do. No, it wasn't. So I decided to leave the room. I left the room, went downstairs and began to prepare their breakfast, which was a lot more important. And I told myself, don't speak, don't say anything, don't remind, don't tell them, look at the clock. Just let them be. Let them be and watch what happened. And to be honest with you, they. They got ready on time, caught the bus on time, they did the things that were essential, made their bed, changed their clothes, washed up, had their breakfast, helped pack their lunches. And I was like, wow, this feels so good. Like I can just be responsible for me and my tasks and my to do list. And when they came downstairs, I engaged with them and was present and made sure that there was nobody that was at fault and to blame. And so I'm hoping and wishing the same for you that today you are able to just take a step back and observe and watch how everything will unfold amazingly. With that said X Mom signing out, and I really hope this insight has served you well. Bye, now.
