Finding the Balance to Parent with Love and Discipline

Monday, August 17, 2020 by Kimberly Miller

parenting with love and discipline

Parenting is TOUGH. You worry about how to correct and discipline your children if they do something wrong. We worry about instilling good behaviors and raising them in the best possible way we know. Mom and dad are the most common caretakers. There are others who assist with raising our children - grandparents, relatives, daycare providers - but at the end of the day, it's our job, our responsibility. We don't want our kids growing up thinking all we do is scold them when they do something wrong, so you need to be sure you balance the … [Read more...] about Finding the Balance to Parent with Love and Discipline

Having kids is great, but when you are busy, it is easy to find yourself saying “not right now” and “maybe later.” Kids grow up fast, so making time for them, and bonding with them is important. You can also help them grow and teach them more whilst you spend valuable time together. Here are some ways that can help you find the time to spend with your kids and how you can make it meaningful: 1) Find Common Ground Whilst kids are young, they will appreciate all of your participation and you can help to teach them and guide them.

Controlling A Wild Child: 2 Amazing Top Tips

Thursday, February 13, 2020 by Kimberly Miller

When you welcome a special little arrival into the world, it can be hard to imagine that this small bundle of joy can grow into a door slamming, social media addicted wild child that wreaks havoc through your home. Luckily this is normal behavior, as it is common for kids to get a little uncontrollable as they develop through their younger years when their hormones are flying all over the place and their feelings and emotions are not likely to be fully understood by themselves or acknowledged by those around them. Fortunately, there are … [Read more...] about Controlling A Wild Child: 2 Amazing Top Tips

What Life Do You Want For Your Kids?

Thursday, February 13, 2020 by Kimberly Miller

Each of my three children can answer this for me - because it is something I have constantly instilled in them since the day they were born - a happy and fulfilling life. The life that you create for your children is going to be the way that they’re defined. Everything you do as a parent isn’t going to mold their life. The way they behave, the job they want to do, how they are around other people. We as adults are such a big influence on children’s lives, but it’s not just us who have an impact on them. It could be school teachers, soccer … [Read more...] about What Life Do You Want For Your Kids?

Helping Your Child Come Out of Their Shell

Tuesday, February 4, 2020 by Kimberly Miller

Every child is different and according to how they grow up, they will develop a personality that reflects their experiences. A child that is a little different from the rest of the kids at school, the neighborhood or family and friends, is nothing to be alarmed about. Many children will develop their own way in the beginning so don’t worry too much. However, it's good parenting to help your child become more of an individual right from the get-go. There’s nothing wrong with a child that likes to play by themselves, but get to the heart of … [Read more...] about Helping Your Child Come Out of Their Shell

How To Be a Self-Assured Mom

Wednesday, January 15, 2020 by Kimberly Miller

The modern world seems to be pulling us in nine directions at once. One person says this, and another contradicts it. Articles come out all the time that seem to say the opposite of what was announced two months ago. All this is confusing and can make life more difficult. We do not know which way to turn and what is best for our children. The truth is that there is no right answer to being a Mom, wife, friend, relative, anything. Every person is different and what works for one is in no way guaranteed to work for another. The best thing … [Read more...] about How To Be a Self-Assured Mom
