Guaranteed to Help Your Kids Live a Happy Life! (new video)

Wow, I can't believe we've been given yet another free video from the people at Happier Kids Now. 
Every morning before they leave for school, single dad Patrick McMillan and his two boys, Liam (9) and Hayden (12) do this one Gratitude Activity.

Listen to Patrick tell you all about it in his new video (it’s only 4 minutes):

http://www.happierkidsnow.com/cmd.php?Clk=3931076

Do they miss a morning here and there? Occasionally. But for the most part, this is their practice.

They each own a “Gratitude Journal” and every morning they think of five to ten things they are grateful for and write it down.

This is a great way to start your day. Try it – you will be amazed at the difference it makes in your mood. Then you can teach this simple process to your kids.

Just imagine if we started teaching our children how to focus on what they are grateful for. By the time they got to be teenagers, perhaps it would seem like second-nature.

Did you know it’s been scientifically proven that people who do this one Gratitude activity…

**Live longer

**Experience less illness

**Have longer lasting and more meaningful relationships

**Are more successful in business and academics

**Enjoy a greater satisfaction with their life


Find out what Gratitude Activity this is by watching the video so you can help your kids develop life-long habits of gratitude.

Confidence is Growing

I'm feeling very pleased with my little man this morning.  He decided he wanted to walk to school by himself.  Well when I say that, what I actually mean is I drive him to school (we live too far from school to walk or bike) and park up in the nearby car park.  I walked with him to the crossing by the school and then he went in by himself which meant he also had around 10 minutes in the playground by himself. 

For Jack this is a major breakthrough and a sure sign of growing confidence.  I have to say I thought I could be walking him into school at 16. 

But you know what that would have been fine too.  All kids are different and that's how it should be.  Who wants a load of clones?  Sure most of the kids have been going in by themselves for ages now but there are still others who want their parents to wait with them.  Our children will be adults before we know it.  There's no rush. 

Please don't rush your children into growing up.  They will do it when they are good and ready.  They will feel good about the move from little kid to big kid and so will you, even if the thought of them no longer needing you is a little scary.

Confidence building tips:

• Let your child know you support their choices
• Encourage your child to be himself/herself
• Encourage your child to talk about friends, school, likes, dislikes, feelings...
• LISTEN.  Letting your child know they are important enough to give them all of your attention for a while gives kids a huge confidence boost.
• Make things fun
• Give lots of genuine praise

First Day Back To School.

Today is Jack's first day back to school.  He's still at the same school but he's got a new classroom (in THE BIG KIDS side of the school), a new teacher and the kids were all mixed up this year, so he's with some new kids and some from last years class.  Thankfully he's got his two best friends from last year with him. 

We had to go and wait in a new playground (patio) and Jack's teacher from last year came along to take Jack and his old class to their new rooms.

It was really emotional and I'm counting down the minutes until I can go and collect him.  It feels like a whole new chapter to our lives is starting and I suppose this is the start of Jack becoming A BIG KID too.  I'm pleased and a little bit sad.  I'm also looking forward to seeing what this new chapter will bring us.  It's that in between stage between being a kid and becoming a teenager. 

I'm off now to start getting ready for the school run.  Yes, I am 15 minutes early still but I can't wait any longer.

Have fun

Goals For Kids

Now is a great time to help your kids set goals for the coming school year.  I've been using GO FOR GOALS for a couple of years now and Both my son and I love the fun exercises. 

As a law of attraction coach and an LOA MUM I have often thought about writing an E-Book for childen but I have to say I'd rather just tell you about this E-Book instead.  It's brilliant and it works.

I became an affiliate for Go for Goals shortly after I started to use it with my own son.  I was that impressed.  So this is how it works.  I tell you how great it is, if you like the sound of it click on the image below or this link http://tinyurl.com/ykps7ct you can read more information about the E-Books and if you decide to buy them I get a thank you cheque for telling you about Go for Goal.  So I'm happy and I'm pretty sure you'll be happy too. 

You win and I win. Most importantly our kids win.

So what have you got to loose, click on the image or link to read more.

You Are The Best Person To Decide What's Right For Your Family

You know what?  When I was a new mum I was bombarded with information on how to be the best parent.  I had well meaning advice from friends, family and of course the professional advice from the health visitor.  You get the idea I'm sure. 

Result - A very confused new mum.

I tried to do what I thought other people expected me to do.  I did this for the first 4 years of my sons life before I woke up and realised that I didn't need to try and please anyone else.

My point is, as parents we are the best people to know what is right for our families. Once I worked that out I became a much happier mum. 

You see what's right for the super mum next door and her perfect family is not what's right for you.  And what was right for your own parents almost certainly will not fit with your own family.  I had a great childhood and great parents but that still doesn't mean their way works for me and my family.

Do what works for you and your family and enjoy being the best parent you can be for YOUR KIDS.

Discipline - My Style

Wow, I can't believe we're already in September.  Although I have to say I'm thankful for the slightly cooler weather now.  I hope your still enjoying what's left of the summer holidays.

I was asked to write a series of How To... articles recently.  The idea is that the company gives me a title and I write an article for them.  I had 3 articles to complete this week.  The first two were no problem but the final one took a lot more though for me.  You see the title was HOW TO DISCIPINE CHILDREN.  I have to admit this is not an article title I wouyld ever have chosen myself but that's what it was and I needed to write an article. 
After several false starts I eventually wrote, what I conscider to be a great article.  Today I want to share a brief outline of "My style of discipline for children."

• Only you know what works in your family and what's important to you.
• Decide what is important and make them ground rules
• Let your children know what the ground rules are.  Be clear about what you want
• Be flexible (OCCASSIONALLY the ground rules can bend)
• Be fair
• Praise your child
• Lead by example (be a great role model)
• Make time for fun
• Make time to really listen

If your child does misbehave:

• Look at your own behaviour first.  Is your child reacting to your behaviour?
• Do they need something?  Food, drink, a hug, sleep...
• Tell them what you want and keep repeating/reminding.
• Find out why?  Sometimes your child will simply find what they are doing fun.  If it's not okay with you explain why.
• Say thank you for the behaviour you want
• No means No.  If you say no, then mean it and stick to it.
• Time out.  Time away from what they want to do in a safe place next to you, to calm down.
• Reminder of what you want
• ALWAYS treat your child with LOVE, KINDNESS and RESPECT

For me the last point is the most important.  Always treat your child with love, kindness and respect.  This is the way they learn to treat you, their friends and others they meet the same way.

I really hope you enjoy today's post.  As always please feel free to contact me on wendy@loaliving.com
