A good New Year's Resolution: Moms need to remember themselves.

Anna Sutton 12/31/159:25 AM

Love this table top conversation between Jada Pinkett Smith, her daughter and mother. Take home message...

If you're a mom, don't forget who YOU are to yourself. You weren't always a mom. Your kids need to see this part of you so that they will remember to value themselves when they become parents.

If you have a mom, remind her she's also a beautiful woman.

If you're a partner, help her to find a safe, stress free opportunity to reinvest and rediscover herself. Moms have a hard time putting themselves first. That little nudge by a partner can be the greatest gift.

Happy New Year Everyone. Wishing you all a healthy, happy, peaceful 2016.

So beautiful. Thanks Anna. This is real. Incredible intergenerational relationship role modeling here. I think about these issues all the time as me, my parents, and my husband "pass the baby." It's definitely worth the effort to create special time together. I feel like Willow just verbalized what my daughter (almost 3) would if she could. I only hope me and my mom will be able to create these types of spaces for her to communicate and build with us!
