Seven Motherhood Emotions: 5. Insecurity
It’s more or less connect with the overprotectiveness. As a mom I am a coward to be said, I am not very brave at all when it comes to my kids. I always worried or feel insecure /Anxious about them.
When they are stepping out to go to school I feel worried, I am praying that the day should be good for them and they should be safe in all ways. I never felt like that before I became a mom, but the motherhood makes me anxious about my kids always.
Whenever I read about second drowning/silent drowning I have a second thought on swimming lessons. When I heard the boy broken his ankle on the soccer class I started to think is that safe or shall we discontinue?
I am always feeling insecure or shall I say over concerned about my kid’s safety and wellness. I make sure twice or more than twice they are well harnessed with the car seats before I start the vehicle. How to get out of this insecurity?
Three things helped me to have more peace and not always have these horrible thoughts.
- positive thinking
- Do my best
- Prayer
Positive Thinking:
I knew the world is full of potential dangers but the same world has all the wonderful things and amazing people. So I have my hope on humanity and whenever I have the horrible doubts and thoughts I tried to shush them away by my positive thought.
Do my best:
To make more peace with myself I do my best to ensure my children safety in all ways, I know I can’t protect them in all way but still, I do as much as I can and this gives me an inner peace.
Prayer:
yes, we can’t protect them all the time as I told, So I give that responsibility to the Almighty and I believe the great super power will protect my kids from all dangers.
So If you are a mom and you feel anxious about your kid’s safety, try these three things and let me know in comments whether it helps you in any way.

A very neat topic to blog about. It is so true that we can’t take up all the burdens which is why we leave some for the almighty to take care of 🙂

Those are great tips to deal with anxiety attacks for moms, Shivi! It seems only the other day for me going through hard times with a little baby. Now, looking back I think I picked up a lot of the skills on the way, purely on a trial and error basis. Most of the times, they worked beautifully.

A mother’s concern is understandable… My mom is like that too. But then it is also necessary that kids enjoy and have fun the way they want to and not be held back. It’s a tussle inside the mind 🙂

True, Shivi. Ever since I became a mother, worry has been my constant companion. But like you said, I try to do my best, focus on being positive, and pray for the best for my little one.

Beyond a point, you can only hope for the best. We cannot cocoon them in being overprotective and yet, we do need to keep them safe by our life lessons and advice. It is an unenviable balance.

Insecurity led curtailment or responsibility led freedom, its a fine line for a mother to walk

I can totally agree with whatever you said. In our family, my wife is braver and I am the coward. I still am scared out of my wits thinking about all the possible ways he might get himself hurt.
