It's ok, you're not alone in this.

So....

The kids don't know how to do things on their own, like:

- make a simple meal,

- do laundry,

- make their bed or clean up their room,

- always ask for help when looking for what they need, etc.

🫣 You don't want to do everything for them....but you tend to...🫣

Eventually, they DO have to learn, but it's such a struggle to get them to do something. 😑

So, in order to fix this, you started paying your kids to help motivate them into doing tasks at home.

But you realize you can't be doing this forever.💸 This isn't working.

If this is hitting home with you, you're not alone 💗 Many parents are going through this, too.😉

We've spoken with many parents wanting to raise capable, well-rounded kids but didn't know how.🤷

💥So, my husband and I, we created an Activity Chart that our kids have been following and sticking to for well over a year.

Send me a DM to see if you're someone we can help too ☺️

See below 👇💥 But when our kids feel anxious

See below 👇💥

But when our kids feel anxious and overwhelmed about all the things they've got going on, especially with school, I try to guide them to go from overwhelmed and panic to clarity and confidence.

Here's how:

🆂🆃🅴🅿 𝟭 is about setting the tone through BREATHING and SLOWING DOWN.

- Most people will skip this crucial step and jump to problem solving.

✅️ Instead, I help my kid to focus on just breathing.

--> So together, I'll either hold his hand, or hold him close, and do focused and intentional breathing together. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 also 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗺𝗲 to gather my own thoughts and go 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 "𝙛𝙞𝙭 𝙞𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙢!!!" to "𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙞𝙢 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙭 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙢𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛. "

🆂🆃🅴🅿 𝟮 is about untangling the confusion through "PUTTING IT ALL ON THE TABLE"

- Usually, people will try doing this step in their head, but it doesn't help to see things in your mind more clearly.

✅️ Instead, I'll write down what he's feeling and thinking (He sees the list)

--> I'll use whatever paper is available: post-it, napkin , even a Google doc

🆂🆃🅴🅿 𝟯 is about going through each thought 1 by 1, aka BREAKING THINGS DOWN

- Skipping this step is tempting because it takes so long, but it's part of giving them clarity

✅️ So instead, with each thought and feeling, I'll ask yes/no questions

--> For example, I'll ask: Is this true? Is this reality? Is this something you can control?

🆂🆃🅴🅿 𝟰 is about overcoming the obstacles through POSITIVE TALK

- Most of the time, we tend to listen to the negative voices in our heads and believe be true.

✅️ So instead, acknowledge and normalize their thoughts and feelings, then focus on the positive aspects and steps to take, to help move them forward.

- One quote we say over and over to the kids is, "𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀.."

💥This process (with some tweaking) is similar to the one I apply for myself AND my clients when faced with other obstacles, like decluttering.💥

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 and 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 , 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝗮 DM.🤳 𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼𝗼.

The counters are ALWAYS FILLED with stuff! Did we

The counters are ALWAYS FILLED with stuff!

Did we make more kids or throw a party...?

SMH, it feels like it sometimes, right? Every surface is filled with toys, food, dishes, papers, books, etc.

You're tired of seeing the house this way and feel like you're always drowning in clutter.

The reason this is happening is probably because you've been letting the habit of not putting things away, right away... SLIDE for so many years now.

Look, I get it. Life is busy. Really busy! And our time and attention is constantly being pulled in so many directions.

Now, you've probably tried just piling stuff in bins or buying fancy containers to try to "fix" the mess.

But it doesn't work.

So, if you've ever had this experience and are ready to see what you can do next, send me a message.

I've helped and guided many families get organized and involve the kids, too. DM me to see if you're someone I can help too.

Welcome to my corner of the internet!🥰

Since you're here, let me tell you a bit about what I do:

I help parents get their home organized AND guide them to getting their kids to help out too 🙌❤️

There are 2 reasons why I do this...

1️⃣ is so the kids are set up for success for when they get older.

2️⃣ (that supports the first) is so that parent(s) have MORE TIME TO FOCUS on...

  ✅️ More urgent matters

  ✅️ Being more present and have space to be able to communicate (effectively)

  ✅️ Working on projects and passions they’ve set aside for years

✅️ Their own well-being that's probably been pushed to the bottom of the list (or neglected over the years)

So that's it in a nutshell! WELCOME to my page 🤗

Feels like there's never (ever) enough time to do

Feels like there's never (ever) enough time to do everything?

As soon as you get home from work, it feels like you never have enough time to get everything done.

🤹‍♀️Between dinner, homework, after-school activities, bedtime routine... you have zero energy left, but there are still things to do, like laundry, dishes and cleanup.

🥵It feels like it's never ending.🥴

And the reason this happens is because : you’re usually trying to play catch up on all the things needing to get done around the house once the kids are in bed

….often, this means late nights for you.😴😴😴

And in order to fix this you started
✅ Creating to-do lists so you can check things off as you go, and/or

✅ Added all the kids' activities on a calendar to stay on top of it all.

But...

- The lists are never ending. Stuff just keeps getting added!

- You feel like you’re always running around all the time.

- And you can’t remember when’s the last time you had 5 minutes to yourself without getting interrupted.

If this is you, I totally know what this is like and there are ways to tackle all the things.

👉 Comment ‘TIME’ and I’ll send you a DM with some FREE resources I’ll share with you.

See you there!

See how 👇👇👇

Are you struggling with the kids only doing chores when told to?

(If only they would just do them automatically....)

The reason this is happening is that you probably tend to redo or finish up the tasks they've done.

Or when they attempt to do things on their own, you're hovering over them to ensure things are done right.

And I bet you've tried fixing it by buying a generic chore chart to get everyone on track, be accountable, and responsible for their tasks.

But nope.

Getting them to stick to their responsibilities is where you struggle the most (and it's frustrating).

If this is you, I hear you. We were in the same boat and tried so many variations of a chore chart (bought and created) over the years.

Now, my husband and I, combining our experience and kids at different skill levels, busy schedules, capabilities, etc...created and implemented our own responsibility tracker.

The results? The kids have been sticking to their tasks without our prompting. And to be honest, we're not asking for 100% each day.

That's not real life.

If you're looking to go from more than 0% effort, send me a DM to see if I can help you out.
