When I think of the word power, several phases come to mind such as strength or a strong will to accomplish something. There is no doubt that it is a term with a lot of weight behind its meaning. The exact definition of power according to the Merriam Webster Online Dictionary is the ability to produce an effect. The Mommy Team asked a very important question, “How do I define mommy power?” Some might think of it as the ability to perform super human tasks for one’s children and family, but in my opinion, I think mommy power is a combination of things.

My own unique definition of “Mommy Power:”

7:45 A.M.-Eyes fly open to the sound of “Momma!” being hollered energetically from baby’s room. Sigh and close eyes for another 4 ½ minutes before starting the day.

7:50-Rescue son (19 months) from side of crib where’s he stranded himself (yet again) because he’s recently decided the drop is a little too scary.

Mommy Power is the fortitude to wake up every morning and face the day, knowing that as much as we cherish and protect our children, we never know what the world brings. It’s that core of faith in the universe that steps out into the unknown and says, “It will be OK.” Or at the very least, we will do our level best to ensure that it is. It’s walking the scary tightrope over the abyss, turning over every breath, word and giggle from our children as we do so. Read more »

Mommy Power is the power to raise a child who is secure inside and knows he is loved no matter what, that he has potential beyond his imagination.

What is mummy power?

Mummy power is that special quality that mummies have which makes them all supermummy.Mummy power is what gets you through the pregnancy, when you are tired and heavy, with ankles the size of tree-trunks, acid reflux and varicose veins. Mummy power gives you the strength to push when you know you haven’t the tiniest scrap of energy left. Mummy power is what gets you out of bed at 4am every night for a month.

Mommy power begins even before the babies arrive, when one of the things you love about your man is that he is going to be an incredible father…when you quit every unhealthy habit you have–from smoking to caffeine ON the day you find you are pregnant…it’s overcoming the panic in the middle of the night when you contemplate the REALITY of birth…it’s pouring over millions of options and choosing the perfect name for YOUR precious new one. It’s when you choose the best birth plan for your baby, and having the courage to change it, even right in the middle…

My definition of mommy power is to be able to maintain control of your family by being a friend mother and in other cases for only parents a dad. Communicating with your kids and gain trust and respect you deserve. Mommy power also means giving respect and being able to earn the same amount of respect back or even more. Being a role model for your children taking them to high perspectives of life and showing them to be independent. What I would also like to add is (to gain respect you have to earn respect)

Children’s Librarian * Mother of 1 (almost 2) * Reading Together

Mommy Power is holding a sick child all night long hoping she feels better soon then going to work for eight hours while worrying about her at home all day. Mommy Power is waking up in the middle of the night to rescue a stuffed animal or put the covers back on. Mommy Power is knowing what your child needs when your child needs it and having the power to provide it. Mommy Power is teaching your child: the abc’s, please and thank you, and that every day you will be there with a hug and kiss to make it all better. Mommy Power is everyday waking up and loving your kids for who they are, what they are becoming and doing what you can to guide them to be the best they can be. Mommy Power is being they best you can be despite being sick, tired, guilty or doubtful because you are MOM, MOMMY, MAMA. Mommy Power is in every mom.

From one teacher’s point of view, Mommy Power is that adrenaline that rolls her out of bed in the morning to help her kids start the day and get to school on time. It’s the mother who sits down and plays my little teacher-made math games with her child and actually writes me a note about how it went. It’s the mother who hates confrontation but will speak her mind when she feels that her child is being treated unfairly. It’s the mother who takes two buses and a train in the morning to deliver her little girl to our school and then does the same thing six hours later to be there with a big smile on her face to greet her daughter at the day’s end.

Mom / Teacher / Writer * Mother of 3

There is a language between women that needs no words. There is an unspoken tie that binds them together through their heart strings and their emotions. When women reach out with their hands they touch with their hearts. From woman to woman a kinship exists that needs no formal acknowledgement. Within this kinship is a knowing that each is a comrade. A woman, a mother, a sister, a friend, an aunt, no matter the name a woman belongs to this army. This army carries with it a force that is unparalleled. Read more »
