Erica Mallery - The Moment Your Child Hands You a Wine Glass

Erica Mallery - The Moment Your Child Hands You a Wine Glass… and You Realise They’ve Been Watching What if the habits we think are harmless… are actually lessons our children are quietly learning? One small moment can change everything. Erica shared a powerful story: Her one-year-old daughter walked over and handed her a wine glass and said, “Mama, here.” In that moment, Erica realised something profound. Her daughter wasn’t listening to what she said. She was watching what she did. That moment sparked a deeper question: Do we wait for rock bottom before we change… or can we change before it arrives? So many of us live inside cultural habits we rarely question. Celebration? Drink. Stress? Drink. Girls’ night? Drink. Bad day? Drink. But what if the real conversation isn’t about alcohol at all? What if it's about awareness, choice, and breaking patterns before they break us? Erica’s story is not about shame. It’s about conscious living. It’s about learning moderation instead of swinging between extremes. And most importantly… It’s about changing generational patterns so our children inherit something healthier. One small shift. One conscious decision. One moment of awareness. That’s where real change begins. 💡 Key Insights • Children learn more from what we model than what we say • Cultural habits often become invisible until we question them • Change does not have to start at rock bottom • Moderation is a skill that can be practiced • Shame prevents growth — awareness creates change • Generational patterns can be interrupted with conscious choices ✨ Three Quotes to Reflect On 💬 “Children do what they see, not what they’re told.” 💬 “Change doesn’t begin at rock bottom.
