Hello Everyone! In one breath where are You? In one sentence can you articulate it? I am ready to exhale, from all this remote learning and the unusual school year we had, that’s where I am:). Though in my mind I know that another year of learning is upon us, not sure how that may look. In the end we want our children to be ready right? Now it’s time to invest in our children again. Yup, the cycle of rinse/repeat. Summer is the time to be a little more chill and let our kids sleep in. What would summer be without changing the pace? For our children consistency is so important though, and so is routines. This is where the ‘Rinse and Repeat’ comes in. Everyday that we rise, we look for those moments of investing, through word or action. My children are a little older now so I don’t have to walk them through the process like I use to, but that is only because of being consistent in implementing structure. I would not be at this place on the parenting path if I didn’t rise everyday and remind myself of the (Why), and the outcome. It is challenging, and many days I have to look back at where I used to be as a parent to encourage myself to keep going. Just look at your kids, that’s the result of your investment; isn’t it motivating? Some of us are all different places on the Parenting journey, but I do want to remind today to continue to ‘rinse/repeat. As Dory would say in Finding Nemo: ‘just keep swimming’. We will eventually get there, and so will our children:). May you be encouraged today.
