January is when I look to the future, reflecting on the positive changes I'd like to make in my parenting. Here are my top 6 parenting resolutions for this new year. |
Every January presents us with the opportunity for a fresh start, for doing things differently to make positive changes in our families' lives. |
Comparing seems to be part of human nature. We compare ourselves to others. We compare our children to each other and to other children. |
Later, when we were listening to Christmas music as we were putting up the tree, I didn't even try to make up a story about how decorating was going to go. I just experienced it as it happened and that was enjoyable. |

Making time to share time and interests with your child refills your love-tank and lets you bounce back after struggles. Small moments in every day, every week, keep us connected. |
