Vlogging with my son

Vlogging with my son has become a cherished part of our daily routine, especially as we focus on building his self-esteem through positive affirmations. I’ve found that creating these vlogs doesn’t just capture memories—it also reinforces the important lessons we’re working on together. One of the most rewarding aspects has been watching him grow more confident and articulate when he speaks about himself and others. Affirmations like "I am capable" or "I am kind" have become a way for him to approach challenges with a positive mindset, whether he’s on the t-ball field or facing everyday moments. Our discussions often revolve around sportsmanship, which is essential in team activities like t-ball. I encourage him to celebrate both wins and losses with grace, helping him understand that respect and kindness are just as important as scoring runs. This helps him build relationships with teammates and coaches alike. For other #boymoms, I can’t recommend enough the power of capturing these little conversations on video. It’s a fun way to track your child’s development and also creates a treasure trove of memories you both can look back on. Plus, vlogging opens up opportunities for meaningful dialogue that might not happen otherwise. Ultimately, what started as a simple hobby has deepened the bond between us, making me even prouder to be his mama. If you’re thinking about starting something similar, try to keep it lighthearted and genuine—kids respond best when they feel safe and loved, and the camera just becomes another member of your family’s story.
