GENERATION ON A MISSION - Patient Parenting, Parenting Hacks, Faith-led Parenting, Christian Moms, World Changers

Hey there!

“I’m so frustrated!” – Does that line ever come out of your mouth?... While you’re yelling at your kids??

Odds are, there are many times that warrant a short fuse throughout your day, but is there a way to find patience when your kids are being frustrating, needing reminder after reminder!

Yes, our kids may frustrate us, and yes, we lose our patience, but is there anything WE can do to fix that, or are we expecting our kids to make those changes...and then getting let down when they are unsuccessful reaching those expectations?

What is truly the cause of our impatience? Is it our kids, or is it the expectation of the situation?

Sit back and relax as we unravel an answer to “How do I become a more patient parent?!”

Thanks for listening!! I hope this episode shines a new light on your parenting!

If you love it, I’d be so grateful if you would leave a review!

Be blessed, my friend!

Hi, Mama-Friend!

Have you ever wondered, “How do I raise Godly children?” The answer is quite simple, but yet rather challenging at the same time.

We have to constantly ask ourselves, “Are my kids living more like God, or living more like me?! And how am I contributing to that?”

Am I teaching them to live like me, or am I teaching them to live like God? Oh, complex, right?! I want to say I’m teaching them to live like God, but am I showing them how to live like God? And if I’m not showing them how to live like God, where and how do I start?

We have to remember how important it is to teach our kids Godly expectations, but also model those Godly expectations, which is obviously so easy, right? Ha. Kidding.

But, seriously, sometimes it takes help, and that’s a-okay.

We are talking about it all in episode 38! I’d love for you to comment, what do you find easy or challenging about living up to Godly expectations? Do you find that some things are easier than others? I’d love to know—be sure to share with us www.facebook.com/groups/generationonamission and comment on this post!

Thanks for listening!

*Don’t forget to join us starting Feb 21 in the Facebook group for a crossing the midline challenge! Every day (M-F), I will be sharing out an activity that you can do with your kids that also ties in some learning and brain boosting exercises, as well! I hope to see you there!

Hi, Mama!

Did you know that helping your child build coordination and motor skills at an early age is actually EASIER (and more important) than you think?!

In today’s episode, you’ll learn a super quick, easy way to help your kids boost their coordination and motor skills every single day. Bonus, there’s actually little to no prep involved for you, which is always a win!

Doing this one simple thing every day will help your child become a stronger reader and writer, as well, because it helps them learn how to more easily use BOTH sides of their brain at the same time—which sounds all fancy-like!

I hope you learn a little somethin’-somethin’!

Be sure to join our Facebook group, where I’ll be sharing out learning activities to go along with this week’s episode every day during the week of Feb. 21. You’ll see easy, no or little prep activities that you can do with your kids to help grow those brain muscles by using both sides of their brains! See you there!

Hi, Sweet Mama!

In today’s episode, we are answering the question, “How do I prepare my child for new life experiences,” like having a new sibling, starting school or moving homes, for example?

It’s up to us, as their parents, to help them understand what new life changes will bring, and to help them learn to identify any emotions that might come along with these changes. Life changes may not always be easy for our little ones to handle, so we have to make sure we prepare them as adequately as we can!

This comes through helping them identify emotions, showing them visuals and talking through what might happen as these new life changes occur.

When we do this, our little ones know what to expect, and they are able to navigate through the life change with a better understanding, which will hopefully better prepare them for any uncertain emotions that they may experience.

Thanks for listening!

Hey Mama-Friend!

Have you ever wondered what to do when your toddler is on a roll with the screams and the tantrums, or when he maybe accidentally ruins something because he’s frustrated to the point of no return?

You know, those times when there’s just no coming down and your little one is just escalating to the point of no return, what do you do?!

In this episode, I am joined by my husband to talk about an effective way to de-escalate a tantrum or a meltdown, and STILL hold your little one accountable and help him learn his lesson along the way. It’s a lot easier than you think, and it’s a strategy that you may forget about during those first moments after he breaks the coffee pot out of frustration. *sigh* Yep, that was my toddler!

Believe it or not, YOU play a major role in the outcome of a tantrum or meltdown. It can end up one of two ways, with your little one screaming more, missing out on learning the lesson and feeling even worse about his actions, OR with your little one knowing he’s loved, despite his mistakes or behaviors, and still learn from his mistake and maintain accountability.

I’m excited to be sharing this episode with you because I think it’s a game-changer in how we handle situations as parents during those times of extreme escalation!

Let’s get it, mama!
