Here's a little thought exercise: think back to what you were doing this time last year, right around Mother's Day (in the U.S...I know it has already passed in other places!).




 





What kinds of things were your children doing that were really endearing?




 





What kinds of things were they doing that drove you up the wall?



 




What kinds of fights (resistance, back-talk, stalling, tantrums, etc.) were you having with them a year ago?



 




Are you still having those same fights now (or variations on them)?



 




Do you wish you weren't still having those fights? That you could get out of the endless cycle of trying an idea you saw on Instagram, seeing a small change, and backsliding to where you were before?



 




Do you have all the tools you need so that a year from now you can look back and know, without any shadow of a doubt, that things are different now?



 




Today I'm going to introduce you to several parents who have made exactly this shift, and a framework you can use to make it for yourself.
