New Year's Resolutions as Parents

2014 is almost here. What are your new year's resolutions? What do you want to do in the new year as parents? If you have plans for 2014, I do urge you to write it down so that you remember and be more committed to achieving those goals.

As a parenting coach, I hope I can reach out to more parents who are having some tough challenges with their children. I hope that parents who have yet to get a good night sleep, will be able to do so through proper sleep training for their kids. If your kids are misbehaving and you are at your wit's end, then I hope you will find someone to talk to about it. Parenting is a tough journey. You shouldn't need to do it alone.

Personally as a parent, I hope to spend more one on one time with my kids. It's called the mind, body and soul time. Spending time with our kids builds emotional connections, reduce misbehaviours and kids become more willing to cooperate. Try it out 10 minutes a day with your child and see the difference.

Here's to a blessed and wonderful 2014 to all parents out there. A happy and healthy family begins at home with you.

Christmas is coming...

Well Christmas is just around the corner and I am already in the mood for Christmas singing my favourite Christmas carols and all. Christmas is not just a time for shopping and exchanging gifts but it's also an important time where we remember that Jesus our saviour was born. Christmas is a time for forgiveness, we forgive and forget about the hurt and move on with a fresh new hope. I hope you will find time this Christmas to spend time with your loved ones, your family and children whom you love so dear and enjoy building wonderful memories together. Merry Christmas everyone and have a blessed new year!

Are your kids still waking up every night?

Since I started this business, I have been in discussion with a few parents and I found out that their kids are still waking up in the middle of the night asking for milk or needing their parents to be there with them. While I do respect the parents for their sacrifices and being able to cope with not having a good night sleep, I do symphatize with their struggles to get their children to sleep through the night. I believe you can get your child to sleep through the night with some training. It may not be easy in the short run (as there would be some resistance as you would expect with any changes) but in the long run, you will be so thankful that you started them young so that you and your child could have that good night sleep that you both equally deserved. Here's to a good night sleep in 2014! Give me a call or email me to see how I can help.
