“That momma bear protection part has always been alive in me,” says Alanis Morissette, new Mommalogue blogger, of motherhood, “there’s always been this maternal energy within me, looking to have a personal, appropriate place to channel itself.”
When it comes to being involved in her child’s formal education, Morissette says she plans on being “fully involved,” adding:
“I will be directly involved with the education of my son. Both sides of his brain, artistic, administrative, technological, expressive, sensual – all of it! To provide the opportunities for him to express himself and to find out the ones that speak to him the most. Where his essential self and his core self are expressed and he is safe when he is doing it!”
But for now, Alanis says her son learns from watching her and husband Mario “Souleye” Treadway. She reveals:
“My husband and I, as we interact, we are modeling for our son regarding how women are treated and how men are treated. There is a consistent amount of respect that we show towards each other no matter if we are angry, afraid or depleted. So for him to know that women are loved and respected and men are loved and honored. And that he can look up and see his father taking care of himself or look at me and see that I am consistent in loving him and taking care of myself. We are modeling what we would love for him to do and become, as he grows older.”
The Grammy™ Award-winning singer/songwriter joined Mommalogues, the popular and award-winning video blog website published by SheKnows, as Augusts’ guest celebrity mom.
