All parents know one of the biggest problems with kids is that they don’t come with an instruction book. No one tells us what to do when our kids have their first tantrum, or when they yell at us for no apparent reason.

A while back, I did an informal study asking some of my favorite moms what they were struggling with. 

I am a confidence coach for moms.  Confidence involves many things, but one of the most basic ways to build confidence is to trust yourself. 

Understanding the role of thoughts in my life took awhile.  I had always believed that feelings just happened to me.

It is one of the tough realities of parenthood.  If you have more than one child, they will occasionally have trouble getting along. 

Homeschooling our kids.  It seems ridiculous when you think about it. 

We have been enjoying our family meetings for many years.  They strengthen our connection as a family and help each person communicate better - but they’re also great just for having fun together.

Typically, when afraid, people seek connection.  But instead of being able to comfort one another, we are being forced apart.

Life can be unpredictable and uncertain.  We do our best to manage the day to day stress and business, but every so often life throws us a curveball.

Communication is an issue most of us struggle with. We likely didn’t learn communication skills when we were young, and chances are unless we learn this skill ourselves, we can’t effectively teach it to our kids either. 

As parents, we are charged with the task of figuring out how to raise our kids in the best way possible. 

“I have too much confidence!” said no mom ever!  We are raising tiny humans to become functional and hopefully successful adults.
