    Letting Go of Perfect - Learning the Art of Flexibility

    A bright and cheerful, joyful home is not one where everything goes according to plan.  It’s a home where family members learn to adapt, adjust, and respond with generosity when things don't go according to plan.  The more flexibility we cultivate in ourselves and our children, the more peace, resilience, and joy we will experience as a family.     Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.com Follow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

    How Tech Affects Your Children

    As we begin the month of June, most children are out of school and home for the summer.  And, almost immediately, they begin to complain that they're bored. What do you do with your kids when they're bored?  Well, for many parents, they let them play video games or watch TV for most of the day.  When we give our children a lot of access to technology, they are missing out on so many ways to grow and mature. They miss out on how to solve their problem of boredom.  They miss out on learning to be creative.  They miss out on connections with their siblings and parents. They miss out on experiencing the joy of simple living and human interaction. This episode is about how technology can affect your children.  Before you let them have a summer with lots of tech time, listen to this episode to understand how it affects your children's brain, mood, and ability to connect with others.

    The Habit That is Quietly Making You Unhappy

    Do you want to be a woman who is a victim of everyone and everything and complains about it to anyone with ears, or do you want to be a strong woman who solves her problems and realizes that sometimes, maybe many times, it’s on us to figure things out - to delegate when possible, to enforce expectations that are reasonable and to let go of unreasonable expectations of perfection in ourselves and in those around us. Complaining makes you unhappy and it makes everyone around you unhappy.

    Some Mom Encouragement

    Having the grandchildren for more than a couple of hours visit, reminded me of how difficult it really is to raise children. Why do humans do this? Why do we have children that require so much sacrifice? Why are we shielded from the knowledge of the terrific amount of sacrifice before we have children? Why?  Well, I think it is a seed planted in our hearts from God.   In my experience, the only way to find joy in motherhood is to see it as a higher calling - to be a mom is to have a calling from God.

    The Key to Becoming a Happier, Calmer Mom

In this episode, I talk about the five virtues that we need to teach our children so they are happy and cooperative, and so that our home is peaceful and joyful - all of which will contribute to our becoming a happy, calm mom. My program, "Virtue-Based Parenting" is now open for enrollment until May 9th.  Check out the details HERE. It is THE perfect Mother's Day gift to give yourself!
