Hey There, Mama!

Today we are uncovering one thing you should do everyday to help strengthen your relationship with your kids!

When our relationships with our kids grows, we are able to reach our kids so much more proactively and positively when those negative moments pop up. Why is that? It's because they begin to trust you and know that you aren't out to just make them make them miserable by all the limits you set and expectations you enforce.

When you build trust, they know that you care about them! They know you want to get to know them and that you love them, which is so important in our relationships with our kids!

Have a Blessed Week!

Michelle

Hi, Mama-Friend!

Life is so challenging at times. It's so important to remember to take care of YOU through the throes of parenting, which is a lot easier said than done, but still important, nonetheless.

So, what exactly does that look like? That's what we will uncover in today's episode!

We can't parent successfully or confidently when our cups are empty! LOL What does that even mean?! We are also diving into what parenting with a full cup looks like and why it's so important to keep our own cups full as busy mamas!

I'm going to share with you my personal experiences and share some ideas with you as to how to keep your cup full!

Here's to you keeping your cups full this week, so you can parent successfully, with all the confidence you need!

Learning How to Find the Balance Between Grace and Consequences to Help You Find Success in Your Discipline.

Hey There, Mama-Friend!

Wow! 20 Episodes and 1,000 downloads! I’m just so grateful for you all and your support! We are trekking along this parenting journey together, and I know it’s a lot easier with a mom squad behind us supporting each other every step of the way! So, go us—power to the mom-squad!

In this episode, we are having a frank conversation about finding the balance between offering grace and consequences on those days when your little one is looking to win every battle; you know those days of endless dawdling or copious amounts of screams, and who knows, maybe even some kicks and hits thrown in there, as well.

With that being said, here are the questions that we are diving into in today’s episode:

How do you find the balance between offering grace and consequences during those rough moments or even days?

Is offering consequences really effective when our toddlers are in a rabbit hole of bad behaviors?

Where’s the line when you’re implementing consequences?

How do I offer grace and still hold my toddler accountable?

It’s our job as parents to help our kids learn how to be successful, and sometimes that’s through grace, and other times it’s through teachable moments, and other times it’s through consequences. Let’s dive into finding the perfect balance of using grace and consequences in our parenting to learn how to discipline effectively.

Cheers to successful (and crazy) parenting!

Hi, Friend!

Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, it’s easy to tell our kids what they are doing wrong and point out their flaws. Are you thinking, “What? I never do that!”

Have you ever said, “You never listen,” or “You always take forever to do anything”? Or maybe you tell them, “Why can’t you just clean up like your brother?”.

Have you ever noticed that those one-liners don’t actually work when it comes to motivating your kids? If you’re putting a globally generalized label on their actions, then that’s soon what they start to believe about themselves.

In today’s episode, we are talking about how to rephrase what we say in the heat of the moment when our kids are choosing not to listen or when our kids give up so easily. We need to rethink whether or not our words are lifting our kids up or putting them down, and we are exploring it all in episode 43!

I hope you find these tips to be successful for you and your littles!

Thanks for listening!

EP 41 Is Telling Our Kids “You’re Fine” Causing More Harm Than Good? A Personal Experience Battling Childhood Anxiety

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

Hi, Mama-Friend,

Today, I’m sharing my personal experience with anxiety. I’ve battled anxiety since I was a child, and it actually didn’t hit me until I was an adult. Knowing what I know about how it impacted me as a child prompted me to share my experience.

We just don’t always understand what our kids are going through. It’s easy to tell them to brush it off. It’s easy to tell them that everything will be okay “It’s just a boo-boo,” but when you’re battling anxiety and struggling with mental health issues, hearing that can make it even worse.

We may not even know the why behind our kids’ anxieties, but it’s our job to create an environment of empathy for them, helping them understand that they aren’t alone, and although someone may not be able to take away the pains or worries, someone will be there while they go through it.

If you take away anything from this episode, I pray that you understand that our kids sometimes have big feelings and emotions that we don’t always understand; please be mindful of telling them that they are fine because they may not be.

Anxiety may be silent and hard to understand, and may even be scary for your kids. Be vigilant to signs that your little one might have anxiety about things, and be respectful of that; create a safe place for them to express their concerns, and find a way to support them and help them overcome those anxieties so they learn to become resilient.

Thanks for listening,

Michelle

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!

Welcome to Part 2 of the “How” series, where we are talking about how to teach your kids to become little world changers by asking all the right questions to them...and to yourselves!

Parenting is not just about learning how to “get your kids to do what you tell them to do.” AH, yes, good little listeners are great and make life easy, you’re absolutely right, but it’s so important that we help foster our kids’ independence by helping them think about how to do things for themselves.

We want to teach them how to problem solve, communicate kindly, use empathy, learn from their mistakes, be aware of their own emotions and learn solutions to work through those emotions so they can self-regulate effectively.

The most important thing to remember about teaching them these “How-tos” is that we (bold means it’s important!!) need to be reflecting on these questions ourselves, as parents. It’s not enough to expect our kids to communicate effectively, have a handle on their emotions, or even show empathy if WE are not doing the same. Parenting is a constant reflection on how you can better yourself every day for your kids, and that is so important to remember.

It’s not always easy, but it’s so worth it!

Here’s to raising little independent world changers!

Thanks for listening!

Michelle
