Emotionally Uncomfortable

POINT 1: Do what you need to do to make shit happen! The shame, blame and guilt game are easy to play. Try taking action instead of judging someone else for not doing something that didn’t meet your expectations. POINT 2: Your children’s successes are not yours. Their failures are not yours. It’s easy to forget that our children are on their own spiritual journey, with their own script. We are their guides, not their creators. POINT 3: If you don’t know how to do something. TEACH. We must teach what we want others to learn. QUESTION OF THE DAY: What is it in this person’s behaviour that I see (or want to avoid) in myself? CHALLENGE OF THE DAY: Think before you judge your child. Ask yourself - do they actually know how to do what I want them to do? QUOTE OF THE DAY:: “ If you want your children to do something. Teach them how to do it.” Like the Facebook fan page. Join Our Private FB Group - Mom Is In Control Village.
