Motivate Your Child Action Plan: Incredible Parenting Resource

May 25, 2015 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

motivate your child disclaimer

I saw the opportunity to obtain a copy of Motivate Your Child Action Plan for review and jumped at the chance. I have been a mother for 12 years and we now have four children ages 12 and under. Each of these children are very different in personality, mannerisms, and their hearts. I am way behind in reading and researching about parenting I will admit. Since we do not attend a church on a regular basis we really are not getting an spiritual guidance in our parenting and we are beginning to flounder. I feel so overwhelmed most days homeschooling and trying to create a blog that earns enough money to help build a financial cushion to reach our dreams. Throw in a child with Type 1 Diabetes, a Diva, two very smart for their age red heads and a hubby with some mystery ailments and most days I am just grateful to have a bed to flop in at the end of the day.

MYCAP on my Summer Reading List

I do not want to be praying all day that we just survive the day. I do not want to be ready to pack up and head for the hills. I want to enjoy my children and really get to know their hearts and thoughts and talents and inspirations. I want them to know I have their backs but that we also have high expectations for them to reach for the stars. I want them to look back at their childhoods and know that mommy and daddy loved them.

I feel that Motivate Your Child Action Plan will give us the tools to be the best parents we can be while leading our children in a more positive parenting direction. I am wanting results without all the yelling, name calling, and temper tantrums (not always by the children mind you!) I know that having an example and game plan grounded in God’s word will make all the difference in the world. It’s a piece of the puzzle that has been missing from our family and I want it found.

The MYC Action Plan book gives parents the tools to implement the same process to produce change in any family. Twelve audio presentations compliment the material in each chapter and can be downloaded to the device. It’s just like having Dr. Turansky and Mrs. Miller right there to assist with the development of your plan via Biblical Parenting website.

The Motivate Your Child Action Plan will give you the tools to address sibling conflict, poor school performance, disrespect, laziness, procrastination, sloppy work, emotional outbursts, self-centeredness, and so much more.

This approach will equip and empower you to parent any age child, from toddlers to teenagers, and beyond. If you have a problem to address in your child, this book can help you envision the solution and then lay out the steps to get there.

With any new habit or character training it will take hard work and time for a positive change to take place. According to the book details you need 40 days till you work through the book and work through a problem or challenge. This book is not a one time through and then place on the self to be forgotten. I have four children and each one has a couple different areas of their life that need improvement so I think this book may easily become a tattered mess in a hurry!


Join me as we start a parenting journey to reach the heart of each child in a biblical manner!

Parenting Woes: Mommy Awake Baby Awake

August 20, 2014 By Thaleia 1 Comment

My biggest parenting issue right now is when mommy wakes up most days so does the baby. Yes, we bed share and this is for my sleep and sanity. So much easier to nurse at night with baby right next to me. Daddy and big siblings get more sleep since baby usually does not cry at night. Teething or having a cold brings on some fussing but a much more manageable amount.

Show Your Child You Love Them

June 17, 2014 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Ways_to_show_child_love

“I love you.” 3 words that mean so much, yet we all have a tendency to take them for granted when we hear or speak them everyday. We try to teach our children that words mean things and have weight, but it’s also important to show them that we mean what we say.  I share 5 heartfelt, yet simple ways to show your child you love them. Having four children can make it a challenge to make sure each child knows and feels love.

Stop over at Satisfaction Through Christ where I have written the whole post of 5 Ways to Show your Child You Love Them for my June article contribution!

DINOSAURS IN THE SINK… (And other things this Mommy is grateful for)

DINOSAURS IN THE SINK…

(And other things this Mommy is grateful for)

By Rebecca “Franticmommy” Flansburg

dinosaurs in the sink franticmommy

Something happens to us humans when we become parents. Mommy’s especially.

Our world becomes narrow and completely focused on our squirmy pink bundles of joy. Not that we mind. It’s just a wonderful part of parenthood.

It doesn’t change much as they grow either. Everything they do is exquisite, monumental, and absolutely the coolest thing we’ve ever seen.  As parents, we have so many things to be grateful for, but sometimes it’s hard to remember that when your 2-year old defies keeping her clothes on, and your five-year old mouths off for the 567th time that day.

Is it all butterflies and rainbows? Heck NO. But as parents you take the good with the bad and always remember that parenthood may be the hardest work you ever do, but it is for sure the most rewarding.

So when things get a little hairy in my house, these are the thoughts/moments I try to focus on. These are just a few of the things I am grateful for:

1. The honor of frantically racking my brain at 5 a.m., trying to think of something we have in the house that starts with “Q” that our daughter can take to show-n-tell that day.

2. The car seat seatbelt strap that never seems loose enough, and has enough twists in it to double as phone cord, and that makes me mutter under my breath? I am thankful I at least I have a kid to put in that car seat.

3. On the nights when my Little People are restless or sick, I remind myself that no one ever died from lack of sleep and I would gladly go without sleep for the rest of my life as long as I never have to feel the empty ache of childlessness again.

4. As I face-plant on the living room floor in the middle of the night, I remind myself how empty my house would be without that plastic Lego piece I just busted my foot on.

5. As we rewind Scooby Doo Safari for the 6th time, I remind myself there is nothing good on TV anyway, and these days of snuggling on the couch with the kids while watching a talking cartoon dog will too soon be gone.

6. As my seven-year old hangs on me, whines and basically becomes my third leg, I try to remember that, though she wants and NEEDS my attention me now, there will come a day when she will be “too cool” to hang with Mom and Dad.

7. Though part of me silently groans at the price of kids jeans, I am just grateful I have little butts to put in them.

8. Although there are times we get might sick of getting “notes from the teacher,” our hearts always burst with pride as we relish the school-made art projects and tissue paper snowmen.

9. Every time I take one of my children to the Doctor, only to be told; “it’s only a virus. It just needs to run its course,” I feel a moment of irritation, only to be replaced by a silent “THANK YOU” that it isn’t a diagnosis that involves a specialist, biopsy, or surgeon.

Not to get all ooshey-goshey on you, but in light of what happened in Newtown, CT, I think we all should/could take a step back and look at our rugrats with new appreciation. Kids are magical little people and should be the center of our world, not living on the outskirts of it.

Live, laugh, Love.
