As moms, we know how unpredictable life can be, so it’s normal to have some bad days. However, they should always be in the minority, and if they aren’t, it may be time to take a look at our parenting strategies.

Could our present approach be making us more susceptible to an endless cycle of ‘off’ days? Where are we going wrong? 

Can we switch it up so the good days outnumber the bad?

In this episode, co-author of Parenting While Working from Home and co-owner of AdoreThemParenting.com, Shari Medini shares how to implement positive parenting.

“No one should have to just “survive” until bedtime. There are bad days, but they should not be the majority.”

–Shari Medini

Three Things You’ll Learn in This Episode

• Why we need to be mindful of what we’re taking in
  Parenting isn’t always glamorous, and that’s what makes cynically funny blogs so relatable. However, while it’s important to validate our experiences, getting too caught up in the negatives will only add to our frustrations, so we have to remind ourselves of the good, too.  
• How to create a more positive dynamic with our kids
  ‘Because I said so’ is often a go-to response when our kids question us, but it’s not the most conducive to their learning. By explaining to our children why they need to do something, we can open up a conversation, rather than issue commands. 
• Why positive parenting isn’t lax parenting
  Positive parenting isn’t about giving our kids free rein to do whatever they want: in fact, it’s a way to give them more responsibility, while setting boundaries. This gives them the space to make their own decisions with our guidance, instead of our micromanagement.
