What is the mum ribbon movement? What does it mean? Anna Mathur explains.
was juggling three kids down the High Street, one was screaming and the other two lagging behind. I felt utterly depleted and was fighting back tears. I looked around me and saw strangers, other mums, families, people on their own. I wished so much that I could have turned to someone in that moment, for a kind word, a warm smile or an extra hand to distract a child. I felt like a couple of people could see me struggling but may have worried I’d feel offended if they offered to help.
I thought 'I would LOVE to be the mum who helped another mum with an extra hand, some emergency wipes, or some comfort’. I wished there was a way that I could say, 'I'm up for you helping me, I won't be offended. And I'm up for helping you too, you can talk to me'. We look around and we see strangers, yet we are united in so many of these feelings.is what happened after I talked about this on Instagram.
The ribbon says ‘I am open to you offering me some kind words or support’ and ‘I'm here if you need some kind words or support’. It's also for those who've messaged me to say that they've been offered support before, but said they were 'fine thanks' when they weren't. So it might a statement to yourself that you're stepping out in letting others step towards you!
I truly believe that the ribbons can help cut through the awkwardness and uncertainty of approaching someone to offer support. Who knows what conversations and connections could occur?
