You Need To See Kelly Rowland’s ‘Mom-hack’ Of Writing Affirmations For Her 6-Year-Old Son That You Can Also Put Into Practice Right Away
Superstar singer and mom, Kelly Rowland has dished on her ‘mom-hack’ for her older son, Titan during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on Wednesday.
Both moms, Drew (the host) and Kelly were able to connect on parenting during their chat and Kelly revealed she and her six-year-old Titan write affirmations on the mirror everyday. The 39-year-old songbird who is currently expecting her second child with her husband and manager, Tim Weatherspoon said:
”I do it with myself. So I figured, if I do it with myself then how much more amazing would it be for him to have that? I started doing it when he was four.
I wrote it down on his mirror with his Crayola markers saying, “I am smart. I am strong. I am bold. I have courage.” Just simple ones and every week we would change them and then the next one would be, “I am a strong black boy. I am a smart black boy”‘.
”I wanted to get it into his body where he absolutely has no doubt so if somebody were to call him a name, he’s like, “No, that’s not what the mirror says every morning,”‘
she explained further.

Drew called the mother-son ritual one of the ‘best mom-wise hacks’ that she had heard of and planned to ‘put it into practice right away’ with her own daughters.
Rowland, who is set to become a mom for the second time was curious if Drew had any of her own secrets to share.
”Okay, so if I gave you one, you have to give me a mom hack because I’m actually really nervous Drew about part 2,”
Kelly admitted.
”Well, it’s interesting because mine were so close together I think that there is always like a benefit to close together because you are getting it all done and using the same stuff and sort of moving forward in tandem,”
Drew responded.
Doing the math that her new baby and her son will be six years apart, Kelly wondered aloud: ”Why did I wait so long?”
Drew was quick to step in with some maternal comfort, telling Kelly that both situations are ‘win-win.’ She said:
”I think because Titan can help himself a little, he’ll also be able to help you a little. He’ll be such part of the process of taking care, and bottles and this and that. He’s a vital part of that process, rather than who is this that just walked in.”
