I am very far from being a perfect mom {I don’t really think we’re asked or called to be a perfect mom, but that’s another post}. Just ask my kids. I nag, remind and {dare I admit it online?} even yell more than I care to admit. This mom thing is just hard. H.A.R.D. It’s honestly the toughest thing I’ve ever done in my life.
Since we homeschool, I’m with my four kids 24/7 for most of the week. We are with each other a lot. They know I wear a coat of many buttons and they delight in pushing them quite often. It’s what kids do best, right? 😉 And after my buttons have been pushed repeatedly, I unfortunately find myself joining in with their temper tantrums and bad attitudes. So, what’s a mom to do?
Positive Parenting Webinar
Not too long ago, Amy McCready, founder of Positive Parenting Solutions, shot me an email. It really hit home on a particularly rough day, because she mentioned that I could actually do this mom thing without all the nagging, reminding, punishing or yelling. Seriously? I was very curious. I began watching a few of her videos and gained some amazing insights and a better perspective of my role as a mom.
I’ll admit it. Using her strategies is taking some time because it means changing my mindset. Instead of falling back on the default mode of negative mom, waiting to “zap” my kids when they misbehave, I’m learning to become a mom who lets consequences speak for themselves in the lives of my kids. Oh, and I’m learning more about my coat of buttons. Maybe it’s time to take that thing off. It is summer, after all! 🙂
On Thursday, June 12th (ONE WEEK from now) I want to invite YOU to join me and hang out for a FREE LIVE one hour parenting webinar with Amy McCready {9pm-10pm EST}! She will empower us with positive discipline strategies for our kids. We will actually walk away with concrete tools that we can use immediately.
So get your kids in bed, put on your jammies and I’ll “see” you there. All you need is your computer. (No webcam required.) You’ll get to see and hear Amy on your screen and chat with her {and me}!
Seating is limited, so be sure to sign up HERE!
If you have any questions concerning this webinar, feel free to post comments here in this post. I’ll do my best to answer them or pass them along to Positive Parenting Solutions.

I would like to recommend this webinar to any parent! I did this webinar when another blogging homeschool mom offered it. After the webinar, I purchased the Gold package. Yes, it was a big purchase, but it’s worth the investment for my children and our home. Now I have at my disposal a wealth of information to help me parent positively, while building character into the lives of my children. I have incorporated the videos (3 – 7 minutes long) into my morning quiet time routine before the kids get up. Then I pray about what I have learned and meditate on ways to use parenting tools for “issues” I need to work on with my children. A GREAT resource for families who are serious about raising responsible, godly children.
That has been my experience with what I’ve seen of her so far…it’s not fluffy, but very meaty. Thank you for stopping by to share your experience!
