Stay out of their fights!Today we are talking about sibling rivalry --- whether it's arguments, fights, or if you are one of the lucky ones - all-out brawls. This is, without doubt, one of the most frustrating things we as moms deal with. I hate it, like absolutely, to my core, hate it when my kids fight with each other. And it is hard, I mean really hard not to involve myself unnecessarily. And, it hasn't gotten any easier as they have gotten older. I still have to watch myself and force myself to stay out of it. So the next step is...

Now is the time to have a family meeting!In the last episode, I talked about the importance of having your children do chores and setting expectations around how the house runs. But, I put a warning on it. I said to be sure to have a sit-down or a family meeting with your kids (& especially your tweens and teens) if you were planning on changing things up on them. So today, I'm going to share how to do that --- how to have a family meeting, how to get buy-in from your kids, how to determine what to talk about and how to come up with effective s...

I call it a puzzle because none of us walk out of the hospital that first day with a clue as to what we are doing. We figure it out piece by piece every day for the next 20+ years. And the more you work on the puzzle, the more you learn strategies like starting with finding the corner pieces and then building the frame or boundary of the puzzle and then working on sections that have the same color. Today's section of the puzzle in helping out kids b...

I'm sure one of your parents or grandparents or preachers or teachers said this to you as a child and I'm guessing if you are like me, those words have gone from your lips to your child's ears.

Getting homework done? Today I am encouraging you to distinguish between the things that NEED to be done and the things they WANT to do. The key in getting the things that NEED to be done is to get those done BEFORE the bonus things.

The first question asked of a new mom is usually "Getting any sleep?" or some version of that. The idea that our baby is "good" or "bad" or "easy" or "hard" based on how many hours of sleep they get through the night is ridiculous. As any mom knows, we have very little control over this. Some babies are easy to fall asleep, some babies are difficult to get to sleep, some babies sleep for long periods...

2020-12-0345 minLazy Parenting with Stephanie KennedyNever say this to your child! | #30The fundamental message behind Lazy parenting has always been that we need to build a strong relationship with our children built on mutual respect. I strongly believe that it is impossible to raise healthy, happy, independent, empathetic young adults if our relationship with them doesn’t have this strong foundation. When our children don’t trust us, they don’t respect us. And that trust comes slowly, over time by us proving to our child that we are there for them in the good and bad times and that we always have their best interest at top of mind. Trust...
