SLEEP- The Key To Happiness! I am often amazed at how something as simple as sleep, can control so much of the quality of our lives. In our home we have a saying - “sharing is not a choice.” I look at sleep through the same lens. SLEEP IS NOT A CHOICE- it’s mandatory. Mandatory for you, as parents, and mandatory for your kids. Without proper sleep you may experience some or all of the below symptoms: Groggy, foggy mind, irritable, lack of patience, frustration, easily set off, unhappy or just an overall sense of feeling down. None of these feel good and when all combined it’s miserable! Babies and kids who are not getting proper sleep are experiencing the exact same symptoms and feelings. We know how terrible we feel when we lack sleep, so when our kids are overtired or not getting proper sleep, how can we have any expectations? The answer is- we can’t.... Until you have met your kid’s basic needs of sleep, food and shelter. Once needs are met, you can begin to enforce further expectations. Babies and kids who lack quality sleep are tricky to reason with, over-react, lose their temper and have more meltdowns. During this state it’s next to impossible to expect them to behave properly, show manners, do homework, or show cooperation. So....if you or your kids are experiencing sleepiness symptoms then remember the quote above: “But, first sleep.!” If you follow this quote and make sleep your first and #1 priority and commit whole-heartedly you will notice a world of difference. Not only in your kids’ behaviour and temperament, but also in how YOU feel. You and your kids will be thanking you for making this positive change. #sleep #kids #baby #babies #parents #change #priority #quality #life #children #parenting #parentingsolutions #work

Why are we all so serious? Why do we find it so hard to let loose and be silly. We get caught up in our day to day routine and forget to take a deep breathe and relax. When we stop our routines and force ourselves to turn off autopilot - we can more easily be in the moment. Being present and truly being in the moment isn’t always easy to do. One way to help make this happen more often is to UNPLUG. Disconnect so you can connect. It’s here we are able to spend true quality time with our kids and family. Play, laugh, be silly. Enjoy your kids, because as we all know, they won’t be kids forever. It’s amazing how the simple act of playing (whether its on the floor with blocks or LEGO with little kids or card games with older kids) can bring you closer to your kids. The gift of play is one gift we should all be giving this holiday season. So, let’s all try to turn off autopilot, breathe deep, relax and play! #play #laugh #breathe #parenting #parents #connection #moment #grow #relax #off #children #parentingsolutions #family #goals

Oh Poop Potty Training!!!! Typically parents call me exasperated, frustrated, over-whelmed and straight up fed up with potty training. Usually kids will refuse to potty train when they are: 1) Not ready 2) Looking for control (Power) 3) Seeking or in need of attention. If your toddler/child is looking for one or all of the above it can make potty training a complete mess- literally! Mess after mess after mess. Finding yourself in a mess, clean up, frustration, repeat cycle. When this cycle goes on it tends to get worse and not better. It’s at this point in time when you need to take a step back and come at it from a new angle. Reading books about potty training with your kids is a great tool and can not only help them feel not alone, but also gives them positive attention from you!
