Taking my girls to places from my own childhood has brought up emotions I never expected. There is something so powerful about watching your children experience moments that were part of your own story. It can feel like you are meeting your younger self again, remembering the joy, the safety, the little things that felt magical, and wanting to recreate that feeling for your own children. Motherhood has a way of bringing our own childhood memories to the surface, both the beautiful ones and the difficult ones. We don’t just raise our children, we also revisit parts of ourselves along the way. Sometimes we are healing our own inner child while creating a childhood for theirs.
If you have ever felt emotional watching your children experience something that reminds you of your own childhood, you are not alone. Follow along for more conversations about motherhood, matrescence and the emotional journey of becoming a mum.
