5 Ways to Parent With Joy

Seventeen years ago I became a mom. It changed my life, and I’ll never be the same again.

Raising kids is awesome. They can make you laugh with their hilariousness. They can make you melt with their cuteness. They can inspire you with their kindness.

But raising kids is also really hard.

Between temper tantrums, the constant noise and mess, teaching them all the life skills they’ll need as adults, and continually wondering whether we’re screwing it all up … well, it can actually be one of the hardest things we’ve ever done.

I’ve been thinking hard about how to make this school year run smoother, and here are my ideas about how to parent with joy.

Be More Organized

In homeschooling, meal planning, house cleaning, scheduling. I love The Organized Homeschool Life book and planner system to help me with this area.

Do Heart Parenting

Know each child the way they need to be known.

Do Fun Things with the Kids

Inside and outside the home.

Teach Them Life Skills

If you need help, check out Skill Trek.

Delegate Responsibilities to Them

So I’m not over-stressed.
