DAM Chats 2) Spoiling vs. Nurturing

On this second episode of the DAM Chat series, we chat about the age-old parenting dilemma of spoiling versus nurturing.


Here we look at definitions of spoiling, explore the delicate balance with nurturing, and share our honest experiences as mothers.

Navigating the thin line between spoiling and nurturing is our focus, but the reality is trying to grasp the mind of our little ones and how we as parents can change our perception of a moment.


Most parents don't think they spoil their child - but the reality is - it's what other people see as they look in. It's not the whole picture of your day - it's just a moment, and we shouldn't beat ourselves up over.


It happens to all of us. We aren't corporals raising an army. It's finding our flexibility at that moment.
