Parenting Wisdom

Mother and Daughter, Parenting Wisdom Jacksonville Mom

In an ideal world, parenting would come with a how-to guide for every scenario. Nonetheless, reality tells a different story. Each child is a unique soul, deserving a special kind of love, care, and attention. So, without a parenting handbook, what’s a parent to do? Enter Jacksonville Mom. Our team comprises of 40+ contributors with diverse backgrounds and family dynamics, offering a wealth of experiences and parenting wisdom.

Parenting wisdom often comes with experience, yet it can also be shared and learned. At Jacksonville Mom, we understand that every child is different, and as a parent, patience, empathy, and listening are just as crucial as setting boundaries and establishing routines. Remember, perfect parenting is a myth – it’s the small everyday moments that truly matter. Above all, parenting wisdom is the ability to adapt and evolve with your child, guiding them through each phase of their growth with love and resilience. This wisdom not only shapes the child’s life but also deeply impacts and enhances the parent’s journey.

Jacksonville Mom is here to offer parenting wisdom throughout the stages of motherhood. You will find stories about everyday events and the highs and lows that we all face as moms. We talk about the household and how to stay organized during the school year. We offer simple ways for our kids to be kind and birthing advice for new moms to be. We also tackle difficult topics on helping children cope with anxiety and tips for co-regulating when we ourselves struggle to regulate our emotions.

Parenting in Jacksonville presents its unique set of challenges and rewards. As a mom in Jacksonville, we nurture our kids in a city known for its beautiful beaches, thriving arts scene, and strong sense of community. Jacksonville’s supportive environment fosters togetherness and perseverance. Whether seeking advice or parenting wisdom, Jacksonville Mom is here to support you on your parenting journey.

Before we get to silliness, join me for a moment while I set the scene. Picture this: It's Sunday night, and you're standing in the kitchen staring at your long to-do list. There are groceries to buy, dinners to prep,...
For years, my mornings began well before the first light of dawn. I was up at the crack of 2 a.m. (yep, you read that right), armed with several cups of coffee and weather maps, ready to tackle the...

Today, I took a day off work so I could meet my attorney at the Duval County Courthouse to face my ex-husband who has, after almost three years of being divorced, petitioned for 50/50 time-sharing for our boys. When...
It is August 2024. It's been nearly four years since my shero, the Honorable Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, died. It's been 53 years since the Supreme Court ruled, for the first time in history, that any law that discriminates against...
Approximately 10% of the population are Southpaws, and scientists don’t exactly know why a person develops left-handed-ness — but it’s more likely that a child will be left-handed if one of their parents is a lefty, too. This holds true...
The end of summer insanity is in sight. We are so close that I can almost taste it. My dining room table is littered with school supplies, and my online Target cart has a bottle of champagne and a...
Like much of the world, I stand in complete amazement of the force that is Simone Biles. As it stands, she is the most accomplished gymnast to date (GOAT!!!!). As a childhood competitive gymnast, watching her athletic domination year...
