Help through the Hard


I am excited to be a part of this event for the 2nd year on a row.  All these ladies are life coaches and we all have expressed our gratitude to have the coaching tools we have to get through the hard things.


Each of us has our own challenges and struggles: a child with a disability, a child viewing pornography, death of a parent, death of a sibling, difficult spouse, moving, new schools, struggles with food and body, conflicts with in laws, AND SO MUCH MORE.

We have come together to share some of our favorites that have helped us get through the hard things an want to share them with you too.

You can get more information and register HERE.

Take care,
Megan

What to do when you don't know what to do.

What to do when you don't know what to do. Parenting can be hard.  There are times when I don't know what to do when: The kids are fighting. My teen comes home late. My son is having a tantrum. My son is crying. My child can't sleep. I feel mad, annoyed, irritated, etc. and I want to threaten and have all these consequences, but I know in the moment I am reacting.   As much as possible I try to keep my mouth shut until I am calmer so I don't say anything I regret. So here are a few things you can think that will help you to know what to do. 1.  ALLOW whatever feeling you are feeling.  Sometimes I feel bad that I feel annoyed and am not as kind as I'd like to be.  I am actually resisting what I'm feeling and that makes it worse.  So just LET yourself feel whatever you are in the moment.   2. REMIND yourself that this is just a moment.  You won't feel like this forever.  Find a phrase you believe that helps you remember not to react i...

The Parenting 4C’s: Connection, Compassion, Confidence, Communication

I was always terrified to have teens. I can honestly say that it's been way more fun than I ever thought. I have worked hard on myself, certified as a life coach, and been coached and continue to get coached A LOT, and have learned to love the way I parent and learned to love my kids for who they are. From 18 years of experience with my own kids, teaching for 19 years and 5+ years of coaching I have found these 4C's are the most beneficial in helping parents in their parenting and maximizing the relationship with their kids. I am teaching a class on each of these 4C's starting in October. You'll learn more about them and how to apply them. All of these in conjunction with coaching make parenting easier and more fun. PLUS it'll help you with your teens. Relationships contribute to our overall happiness. You have the power to create the relationships you want. 1. Connection ➡ Building strong bonds and presence. Learn how to be intentional with time and attenti...

Connection with your kids -3 practical things you can do.

Connection is a feeling.  If you want to feel more connected to your kids then it comes from what you think.   Connection doesn’t have to be complicated—it’s usually the little, consistent things that matter most. Here are three practical things parents can start doing right away: 1. Journal Each night before you go to bed write down something you noticed about your child. Something funny they said or did, something nice they said or did. Anything goes. I have done this for years, and it's so fun to look back on and my kids enjoy it too. I also pay more attention to and notice the good in them. 2. Share their world.  Connection doesn’t only happen in big conversations—it’s in the everyday moments. Show interest in what they care about, even if it's not your thing. Ask questions about their favorite: Youtube video, toy, sport or whatever. Sit next to them while they play a game or play with them (even chess🤪) When you show curiosity about what they care about i...
