@abanaturally: Two things I wish more parents knew about parenting. 1. Waiting until parenting becomes difficult before learning how to make it easier. I think one of the biggest misconceptions about parenting courses is that they’re only for parents who are struggling. That you need to be dealing with constant meltdowns, aggression, or a child who refuses to listen before it’s worth learning about behavior. And of course, if those things are happening in your home, my Practical Parenting course can help you understand why they’re happening and what to do before, during, and after. But here’s what I wish more parents knew. I went into motherhood with years of experience teaching children and understanding behavior. And I can’t tell you how much of a difference that knowledge has made in my own home. Not because my children never have difficult moments, but because I know how to teach skills, prevent many problems before they start, and respond effectively when challenges do arise. You don’t have to wait until something goes wrong to learn how to get it right. One of the things I hear most often from parents who take my course is, “I wish I’d done this sooner.” And if your children are older, that doesn’t mean you’ve missed your chance. The best time to start may have been yesterday, but the second best time is today. 2. Thinking you don’t have time for a parenting course. But what if taking the course was the very thing that gave you your time back? Yes, learning takes time upfront. But think about how much time you spend repeating yourself, negotiating, or managing behaviors that make ordinary routines exhausting. Now imagine asking your child to do something and having them actually DO it. How much time would that give you back? And more importantly, what if you could spend less time correcting your children and more time actually enjoying them? That’s what I want for your family.
