Watch This Video On The Days You Just Don’t Feel Like A Good Parent

I’ve been struggling lately as I transition from a mom with toddlers and preschoolers, to a mom with school-aged children. I never feel like I’m patient enough or nurturing enough or just enough for this new stage in their lives, where they’re becoming more vocal about their daily challenges. I’m usually pretty confident in my abilities, but at times, we just need reassurance that we’re doing something right.

I watched this quick video from Elevation Church (which has gone viral thanks to its Upworthy feature) and melted into a puddle of tears. In it, moms describe themselves and then get a chance to see themselves the way their children see them. Get your tissues ready.
