When you ask something of your kids does it feel like a battle you will never win?

We understand how hard it could be to get our kids to do the things we ask of them. This week we have some ways to help prevent starting those battles. Getting our kids cooperation is not easy but with some knowledge and techniques we can minimize the struggle and strengthen the relationship by encouraging healthy communication. This is a prequel to our last episode "back talk" so if you haven't listened to that one yet this is a good one to start with because when this goes wrong that's how we end up with our kids talking back.

Let us know what you think and if you have any questions!

Did you know talking back is a normal stage of development?

I know it's hard to accept but it is and that just means they are going through the motions of growing up! It shows they are voicing their opinions which is important. We want to encourage that in a positive way and in this week's episode Amma Lisa teaches us how to deal with our kids when they are going through this phase. 

This episode has some very helpful tips on how to keep the situation from escalating and how to react or not.

Springtime is here!

Are you looking for activities to do with your kids?

Well, one of the easiest is just getting outside with them! You don't have to make it complicated. Get outside and go for a walk, sometimes you don't even need a destination in mind. Just see where your kids take you!

This week Amma Lisa and Mama Sareena have a little too much fun talking about all the benefits that come with just spending some time outside. Springtime is the most fun because we get to see everything coming back to life after winter.

We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed talking about this exciting time of the year!

Please share with us some of your favorite spring activities!

One of the most important relationships that we must maintain throughout life is those with our siblings. It is such a fragile relationship that must be protected from the day it starts and in this week's episode, we discuss how to handle the struggles between siblings as parents. 

Sometimes we just need to get to the root of the feelings behind the arguments/fights. Amma Lisa gives us some reminders about how to address and resolve the feelings with each child. 

If you grew up with siblings you know what we are talking about. 

If you have more than one child we are interested to hear how your kids get along. What are some things that help? What are some things they most commonly fight about?

Happy International Women's Month and Day (May 8th)

This week's episode is not our usual format but we wanted to acknowledge and celebrate us, women!

We are strong, beautiful, and contribute so much to our world. Sometimes most of it goes unseen. This month is here to remind us of what we are capable of and to stand up and support one another.

Women, mothers, aunts, daughters, sisters... we are all together and we must stay united. We have come a long way in the last 100 years and we have more to go. Let this be a time of remembrance, representation, and strive to continue to gain the recognition and equality we so very much deserve. 

Who was your strong women role model growing up?
