Be A Better Parent Challenge

I've been inspired by a group of my favourite Attachment Parent mummy friends to take part in a 31 day challenge. We found it on a blog Motherhood Uncensored and some of us have decided to try it out.

I figure it shouldn't be too hard. I don't think I'm a perfect parent but I try my very best. And there's always room for improvement. It'll be an interesting experiment. I'll blog my progress as I go, rather than leave you all in a 31 day limbo while you wait with baited breath to read my results.

SO here we go....

Challenge #1: Being present for my child

I think I'm a present mum. I do use twitter (nearly 6000 times since my son was born so that's approx 300 tweets per month. 75 tweets per week. 11 tweets a day). So 11 times every single day I used twitter instead of focusing on my child. Realistically we cannot be there for our child every minute of the day, but tomorrow I'm going to try and concentrate 100% on what ever Z is up to. I'll be tuned in. I won't let my mind wander, think of other things and make mental lists. I'll be present.

Will let you know how it goes tomorrow.
