Did you just fight with your child? Have an argument with your partner? Not talking to a family member? Are you living with some type of regrets? Liar! We all are. But the question to ask yourself is if you don’t get that second chance to make amends, say I love you or get that last hug...can you live with the consequences of that? Some of us don’t get second chances. My son didn’t. I am so grateful that my last see you later included an I Love you and a see you later. So don’t think you are in a special class of people that life can’t reign down holly hell on your world. Because when you find yourself in that safe space that is when life happens. So ask yourself if you died right this second what would you regret? What would you leave the people you love carrying around for the rest of their lives. That is the question you must ask yourself if you want to live a life of freedom and peace. Give this gift to yourself and your children but taking 5 before blowing up and asking yourself. What if this is the last time we see each other? ❤️😇You can love them or control them but you can’t do both. 🤘#momofboysandgirls #nonstopmama #parentingteens #loveyourgirls #loveyourchildrenunconditionally #growingupwithstrictparents #stressedparents #sadparents #parentingteensishard #parentingtips #momstruggles #dadstruggles #mommystress #lovemykidsforever #teenagerstruggles #trueparents #parentwithoutfear #parentwithpurpose #parentsupport #singleparents #divorcedparents #momstress #mommyneedsvodka #scarymommy #momstrugglingwell #apple #parentinghacks #teenagers🙄 #parentingblogger #stressfreeforparents (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B39aIMZFYHS/?igshid=13arsyssu5yw5

Sure. We want to our all these rules on our children about cell phone use. But are we being present when we are with them. Or are we checking in with the office, getting updates from people we don’t even know(that are labeled as friends). Are we watching other people’s children grow up and missing what is going on in our own backyard? When your child is talking to you are you hammering away at your phone like your life depends on it. Time to take a break before you miss everything including those magical memories you are supposed to be creating with your family. Set some boundaries for your cell phone use around family. Hey...actually listen to what they are saying so you won’t be one of those parents that tells me that my kid hates me and I didn’t do anything. That is the problem you aren’t doing anything and they are not getting the love and attention they need to become functioning adults. Our down that foolish device for a minute and go have a conversation with them. Hey...you may learn something about them and oh. Yeah. They may teach you a thing or two. But in order to get these lessons you need to be present. You can love them or control them but you can’t do both. 🤘#momofboysandgirls #nonstopmama #parentingteens #loveyourgirls #loveyourchildrenunconditionally #growingupwithstrictparents #stressedparents #sadparents #parentingteensishard #parentingtips #momstruggles #dadstruggles #mommystress #lovemykidsforever #teenagerstruggles #trueparents #parentwithoutfear #parentwithpurpose #parentsupport #singleparents #divorcedparents #momstress #mommyneedsvodka #scarymommy #momstrugglingwell #apple #parentinghacks #teenagers🙄 #parentingblogger #stressfreeforparents (at Plymouth, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B37u2x9FbEM/?igshid=1e2if55a5ruyc

How do we rob our children of their hopes and dreams? But constantly barraging them with negative words. Don’t, shouldn’t, can’t. These words typically come out of our mouths when they want to do something that we either disapprove of or don’t think they will succeed in. Why because we don’t want them to have hurt failings or we don’t want their failures to become ours. What will you have left if you keep on this course. An adult that is depressed, has no hope and has never failed because they were never allowed to try. When they don’t ever fail they never learn what they can do. So don’t steal this gift from them. Encourage them to do things, to take risks and to fail. Sure they will get hurt have some negative emotions. However with each failure they we learn lessons that they have been put on this planet to learn and thrive from. So don’t be their Ant, be there anything is possible and let them have that beautiful gift of hope. You can love them or control them but you can’t do both. 🤘#momofboysandgirls #nonstopmama #parentingteens #loveyourselftohealyourself #loveyourgirls #loveyourchildrenunconditionally #growingupwithstrictparents #stressedparents #sadparents #parentingteensishard #parentingtips #momstruggles #dadstruggles #mommystress #lovemykidsforever #teenagerstruggles #trueparents #parentingcoach #parentwithoutfear #parentwithpurpose #parentcoach #parentsupport #singleparentsupport #divorcedparents #parenting #singleparents #divorcedmom #stressedparents #divorcedmoms #hope (at Plymouth, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3uzMVYFXA5/?igshid=3uxtg0wxuz0w

Is your fears holding your child back from becoming the person they are supposed to be. Did your parents instill their fears on you? How did that work out for you? and Them? As parents we have experienced a lot in this world. We feel as though we are so much wiser than our children and as a result we shadow them with our fears of the world. You shouldn't do this or that because of what happened to us. We have good intentions. We want them to be safe and don't want them to make the same mistakes we made in life. But when we parent from a place of fear we confuse our children. Because they can't understand our fear because they don't have a reference point for it. We on the other hand have reference points for all of our fears because we have experienced so much. We try to teach them based on our lives but they don't get it. It sounds like a foreign language to them. That is why most of the time whatever we tell them they should and shouldn't be doing they do the opposite. Funny how that works. They are finding their own way in the world and want to experiment with different things. Then they can make that choice on whether they should be afraid of something that we as parents are fearful of. So how can we parent from a place of wisdom, guidance and mentoring? By allowing them to have the freedom of choice. Allow them to make the mistakes that we made. Honestly, they are going to do whatever they want anyway. So why not support them in their decisions. I know there are some grey areas, especially when it comes to safety. But for the most part let them be and if they encounter a challenge be their to support them. Don't try to control them and the world that they are experiencing. Let them be fearless when they are young and full of energy. Don't make them an old person and strip away their youth. There will be plenty of that available when they become adults and possibly even parents. So give them the gift that we had. Freedom to be FEARLESS. #momofboysandgirls #nonstopmama #parentingteens #parentwithoutfear #mommystruggles #fear #momstress #mommyneedsadrink #momproblems #momsneedlovetoo (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3nB6uVl2YO/?igshid=wur2iz5zibe0

Don’t be scared. We all wear masks. Some to impress friends, some to impress business associates, some to hide our fears, some to hide our emotions, some to hide our crazy. (Own your crazy). But as parents when we wear masks to keep our children from seeing who we really are. We believe we are protecting them from being hurt. We don’t want to make them sad. But are we really protecting them or our own egos? Do they see us as this perfect human being that can do no wrong? Or do they see through our masks and see us as liars and frauds that can’t tell them the truth. Then we want to know why they lie.We don’t give children enough credit. They are smart and can see through a lot of bullshit. So for a refreshing change. Shed that mask. Be vulnerable. Tell them the truth. Let them know that you are human. Make mistakes. Fail at a lot of things. Because that will be a gift to them. They will love you for being honest. They will love you for being human. They will love you for sharing your challenges. But most of all they will feel better about themselves when they have a hiccup in life. When they fail at something. Knowing that it is ok and we all mess up because that is what life is all about. Most importantly they will allow you into their inner circle where you need to be as a parent to guide and mentor them. So today’s challenge share something specific with your kiddo that you have been hiding and just see what happens...oh yeah BTW. When you stop lying to them...just maybe they will stop lying to you. That is a core RelationSHIFT ninja skill. You can love them or control them but you can’t do both. So parent in. You got this. 🤘 #momofboysandgirls #nonstopmama #coachrichiepryor #parentingteens #loveyounow #loveyourselftohealyourself #loveyourgirls #loveyourchildrenunconditionally #growingupwithstrictparents #stressedparents #sadparents #parentingteensishard #parentingtips #momstruggles #dadstruggles #mommystress #lovemykidsforever #teenagerstruggles #trueparents #parentingcoach #parentwithoutfear #parentwithpurpose #parentcoaching #parentcoach #hope #neverlosehope #parentsupport #singleparents #divorcedparents #stoplyingtoyourself (at Manomet Beach, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hhd2qF7Z5/?igshid=1a45k2dqn5iuo
