  What helped me the most with raising my children was the book ‘Raising Warriors: Preparing Your Children For a Godly Life’. It is honestly a game changer

  The part where you said our ancestors didn’t feel guilty for not playing Legos with their kids really made me cry. Sometimes I feel like a bad mom because I’m busy cooking and cleaning instead of playing with my son as a single mom. It’s hard to find the time to play with your children, I guess I just really needed to hear that it’s OK to focus on cooking and cleaning. Minutes of playtime is OK. Sometimes I just feel so guilty for making an environment that’s clean and functional instead of focusing on play time. Thanks for sharing!

  I paused the video on #2 and went to color with my kids. Got dad involved too and we spent 45 mins coloring. 🙌🏼 Thank you.

  One of my fondest memories of my mother is her reading to me.   I am now 70 years old (I don’t feel that old on most days 🤣) but when I read to my daughters and then my grandkids, I would recall sitting in Mom’s lap as she read to me ♥️.

  I&apos;ve only been a mum for 2.5 years and currently pregnant with my second but my tips would be:<br><br>1. Say sorry to your child when you mess up. <br><br>2. When saying no explain why you&apos;re saying no so they understand. <br><br>3. Try to say yes when you can instead of no just because it might be inconvenient. For example, my toddler loves to get her own cereal/food/do dishwasher and washing and is very independent but of course she takes a lot longer and makes a mess. So what, she&apos;s learning and we clean it up together. Just because it&apos;s inconvenient for me, it&apos;s such great learning for her because one day she won&apos;t spill when putting cereal and milk in the bowl.<br><br>5. Don&apos;t get annoyed about spills and accidents. Nothing worse than spilling something and scared to tell your parent when it was an accident. It happens to us all. Don&apos;t make anyone feel bad over an accident that they never intended.

  I&apos;m a Mom of 4 with one on the way. Oldest is 10. &nbsp;I have &quot;accidently&quot; done all of your tips over the years. &nbsp;They all work. Very good advice.

  Thank you! I needed this today. The past few months have been rough. My new mantra is “it’s better to be kind than right”.

  Such good simple ideas. As a teacher, we have duties and cleaning procedures that i get caught up in. When a kid asked me to come look at something they did I would say not right now I&apos;m cleaning. But now I&apos;m like I can stop and look at something for 5 seconds right and it&apos;s something they&apos;re proud of usually.

  Love this video! I appreciate the practical in the moment tips. Stuff that is realistic. Also want to add a favorite thing of mine— taking a drive. When I am really at my wits end I practically throw my toddlers in the car and go for a drive. Sometimes its long and sometimes its short, but getting out of the house (even with no where to go) has been a great way for me to reset mentally.
