I Love You

 

Never assume your children know how much you love them. They need to hear those important words. "I Love You." Say it often.

Reason With Your Children When They Are In A Calm State

 

When children are angry, emotional, or having a meltdown, they're not in the best state of mind to be able to understand a teaching lesson. Sometimes they barely hear you in their unhinged state.

Stay calm, and try not to personalize your child's behavior. We know this isn't always easy. 😟 But as you try your hardest to stay present with yourself and your child, you'll be in a better state of mind to help alleviate any emotional outbursts from yourself that will aggravate the situation.

Little Souls ~ A Quantum Parenting Tip

 

Children are little sponges. They absorb energy and mimic behaviors they learn from those around them and the shows they watch.

Are you demonstrating healthy behaviors?

Do you talk to yourself out loud? I know we do. 😂 Be sure to stay aware of negative self-talk.

Speak kind words to yourself and others out loud. Years ago we posted this super fun video of Jessica saying her affirmations in the mirror. If you haven't watched get, gather your kids and talk a look!

Kindness goes a long way especially when your children are watching.

Addressing Concerns While Supporting Your Family

Unemployment can have a substantial effect on your ability to support your family. If you're one of the many people who are struggling to find proper employment, you may be facing several concerns. Not only can you be struggling to make ends meet, but you may also be worried about the future and how you'll be able to provide your family with the care they need. However, by understanding some of the facts surrounding reaching your desired level of success and then taking action, you can address these concerns and find ways to support your loved ones.

Teaching the Importance of Hobbies to Children

One of the best things you can teach your family is the importance of hobbies. Kids need to be able to take breaks from their daily routines and learn how to enjoy activities outside of school, work, and day-to-day life. Hobbies are a great way to help them learn new skills, develop creativity, and stay engaged with something they love doing. Below are some of the many ways you can teach the importance of hobbies to your family.

Intentional Conscious Parenting October Energetic Tip!

We are in a seasonal change again. Depending on where you live on our incredible planet you may be heading into Spring or like us here in the USA, we are headed into Fall.

Where can you slow down, tune in and adjust your day-to-day activities to become more in rhythm with mother nature right now?

Even though school activities are ramping up, as the days get shorter and the nights get longer our bodies feel it and often need to be able to make adjustments.

We encourage you to tune into your child's needs too. 

Listen....watch.....feel....and especially pay attention to spoken and unspoken needs as your family adjusts to the seasonal changes.

Some of the changes you might notice in your child are:

Embrace this season of your life. 

Healthy Family Habits To Adopt This Year

1. Explore New Things

Family holidays are great, but it is important to learn new things as a family. When children learn new things, such as sports, it can become a new passion and part of their lifestyle. Your children will learn valuable life skills when paddling, playing tennis, or sailing. Visiting new places also embeds strong memories that kids will keep for years.

Out of all the parenting books, we have read and all of the book reviews we have written this one is at the top of our list of being a favorite.

1) Ground by walking barefoot outside. This is called earthing. Take your shoes and socks off and feel the grass, dirt, or pavement below your feet. Take nature walks or short basks in the sun. Let mother earth recharge your energy. This is also a great time to release any unwanted energy down through your energy centers and out through your feet. See it going deep into the earth, letting it go to be dispersed.

Loss of a Grandparent - Exploring Grief with Your Children

After losing a loved one, it’s natural to want to shield your children from pain. It gets complicated when it comes time to break the sad news, especially if they were close to that person. For example, it can be hard to tell young children about the death of their grandparent, considering their role in child development and their unique relationship. You, as the parent, still have the burden to help your kids cope with the loss even as you grieve. Below is a guideline on how to help your child cope with the loss:

Be Honest About Death

Breaking the news is one of the most challenging things in this process, but there will never be a perfect time to tell them. It would not be right if they learned about the loss unexpectedly from another source. Find a time and space where they will be free to express themselves however they need. 

A public space is not the ideal place to do it. Be clear about death and make them understand that it’s a permanent happening. Avoid statements like ‘grandma went to sleep” or “grandpa is resting” as such words might ignite some hope that they might wake up someday.

Fun Gift Ideas For The Special New Mom In Your Life

The new baby has arrived and mom is settling in. She's thrilled, exhausted, and potentially overwhelmed. New parents often receive a variety of presents for their new little bundle of joy to welcome them into the world. In this article, we are going to focus on mom and fun gifts for her. 

Here are some fun gifts ideas for the special new mom in your life. 

1) Time - Sometimes getting a shower with a brand new little one can be difficult. This is where you come in. Offer an invitation to donate a few hours of your time. These few hours could give mom a chance to shower, clean up the house, cook a meal or wash some laundry while you watch the new baby. Or you could offer to take some of the regular household tasks off her hands while she rests with the baby.
