"You can hear Natasha, a 26-year-old mom of two, laughing in the video, and her sense of humor about the situation is still intact when she talks to TODAY.com. "I would definitely say I'm a little bit more of a nervous mom than most, but not in a bad way," she says. "I don't think it's a negative thing necessarily, though my family does notice it sometimes.""
"Natasha explains that Jameson, her oldest son, had brought home the project at Halloween time. When Natasha and her husband Jonathan found Jameson's "silly little picture," they both thought it was "super cute." "He basically just described to me that we were carving pumpkins and stuff, we were having fun, but I was nervous because pumpkins on the edge of the table make me nervous," she says."
A Colorado mother received a school drawing from her 6-year-old son that depicted her with hands raised to her mouth and C-shaped marks around her body. The child explained the drawing represented her being nervous during a pumpkin-carving activity because pumpkins on the edge of the table made her uneasy. The mother reacted with humor and described herself as a somewhat more nervous parent while viewing the depiction as relatable rather than negative. A video of the drawing attracted over 300,000 views and generated comments empathizing with parental anxiety and playful reactions. The mother welcomed the attention as an opportunity to normalize conversations about anxiety and help others feel less alone.
