Positive leadership for mums

Criei esse espaço para ser um lugar de acolhimento, especialmente para mães brasileiras vivendo fora do Brasil. Aqui, quero conversar sobre liderança positiva, comportamento infantil, respeito mútuo e como tudo isso pode transformar a rotina com leveza e conexão.

Here in Australia, the phrase “sharing is caring” is almost automatically repeated when we talk about children. The intention is usually positive: to teach empathy, kindness, and consideration for others. But in light of RIE principles, it is worth pausing to reflect… Does forcing a child to share truly teach these values?

When faced with a child’s tears, frustration, or discomfort, many adults instinctively turn to distraction.
“Look at the bird over there!”
“Would you like a snack?”
“Let’s get your favourite toy.”
Most of the time, this doesn’t come from a place of bad intention — it comes from lack of information, exhaustion, or the discomfort we feel when we see a child struggling.

One of our greatest human needs is to feel understood.
And that begins long before words.
When a child cries, screams, or throws themselves on the floor, what we often see is only the behaviour. But behind it, there is an emotion.
And every emotion simply wants to be seen. It wants to be validated.
