Hey Angie, it is so lovely to know you and your family. Your story is touching and encouraging, being able to strive for the best for your son and also running a Pre & Postnatal Nutrition & Fitness business because of your son! So tell us…
1. A bit more about your background if you feel comfortable.
I am original from Germany, my husband from the Netherlands. We have two beautiful kids and one on the way. I am a studied nutritionist and Health Coach, which specialised in Pre & Postnatal Nutrition & Fitness. We have been working and travelling in Ireland, England, Scotland, Malta and settled in Denmark.
2. What is the most rewarding part of being a mother?
The best rewarding part of being a mother is to the kids happy and healthy.
3. What are the most challenging times being a mother? And how did you cope with them?
The most challenging time was when we saw differences between our son and daughter. Our son was a “screaming” baby and it was hard to touch him as he hated it. He wasn’t the typical baby you could hold and comfort… He started hurting himself when he was 2 years old. It broke our hearts and we searched desperately for help and answers. Now he is 6 and we finally received help in Denmark. We understand now why he was always “different” as he has ADHD and autism.
4. What is your biggest craving or pet peeve about being a parent?
To feel hopeless and scared when you don’t understand your child because it needs special care and attention.
5. What makes your children smile and laugh?
Funny Videos of animals.
6.Words that describe your children?
Both of them are amazing, beautiful, and outstanding.
7. Any standout memories of your children?
The first smiles of our daughter, and the first hug from our son.
8. How do you like to spend time together nowadays with your family?
Going out a lot for family walks and explore nature together.
9. Any great advice to your children when he/she becomes a parent?
Never stop fighting for your family.
10. Being in your profession, what do you feel is the most interesting parts?
To see the world with kids’ eyes.
11. What would you say that helped you to implement into your life with your profession?
My husband’s patience. He is always so relaxed.
12. Any good advice to parenting tips you can share with us?
Never stop fighting if you have the feeling something is wrong or different with your child. It is worth it.
