I’m not a fan of modern parenting techniques, especially the American kind that praises a child with constant “Great Job” for completing every task. However, I think it’s a good thing that we should all be proud of ourselves every once in a while, so here’s mama nous, especially for you…and I do mean YOU!

Cool songs for kind kids (of all ages!)

Hi, I’m mama nous (*ma*ma*noo) and I’m so excited to sing with you!

I share songs, tools, and magically mindful (re)parenting strategies to help you connect with children (including your inner child!) in ways that gently build emotional intelligence & resilience.

I believe kids’ music should be enjoyable for grown-ups too, so my musical style is influenced by my background as an indie folk musician. I hope my songs bring more joy and playfulness into your family’s life, give you language to start big conversations, and help you nurture your own inner child.

Lyrics of i’m proud of myself by mama nous

I′m proud of myself

And i’m really really cool

Cuz i did that thing

That i didn′t wanna do

And i did a good job

And it wasn’t that bad

And now that it’s over with

I′m really really glad!

§

I′m proud of myself

And i’m really really great

Cuz i had lotsa patience

When i didn′t wanna wait

And i did a good job

And it wasn’t that bad

And now that it′s my turn

I’m really really glad!

§

I′m proud of myself

And i’m really really strong

Cuz i said i was sorry

When i did something wrong

And i did a good job

And it wasn’t that bad

And now that i made amends

I′m really really glad!

§

I′m proud of myself

And i’m really gassed up

Cuz i made a big mess

Then i went and cleaned it up

And i did a good job

And it wasn′t that bad

And now that my space is clean

I’m really really glad!

§

I′m proud of myself

And i’m really really cool

Cuz i did that thing

That i didn′t wanna do

And i did a good job

And it wasn’t that bad

And now that it’s over with

I′m really really glad!
