You’re not alone in raising emotionally intelligent kids. My Mama Says offers SEL tools, stories, and support for the emotional work parents do daily.
We Grew Up Without This—And Yet, Here We Are
We weren’t taught how to name our emotions.
We didn’t have a toolkit to calm our bodies.
We didn’t grow up talking about feelings around the dinner table.
And yet—here we are, choosing a different path.
Learning alongside our kids.
Trying to raise emotionally intelligent humans in a world still figuring out how to hold big feelings.
That’s not small work. It’s awe-inspiring.
That’s why My Mama Says exists.
To walk with you—and bring all the tools, stories, and playful support that help you and your child grow emotionally, together—with less stress and more joy.
Because Emotional Growth Is a Family Journey
Our social-emotional learning (SEL) tools aren’t just for your kids. They’re for you, too.
When your child learns to name their anger or soothe their fear, you’re learning alongside them—practicing calm, building trust, and making space for real emotional fluency.
That’s why everything we design—especially on our newly revamped site—is meant to feel:
✅ Supportive, not preachy
✅ Playful, not pressure-filled
✅ Real, not perfect
This isn’t about being a flawless parent. It’s about raising emotionally aware families, one feeling at a time.
