The Courageous Mumma

Pocket Money

Let's chat about money.

Though, it's never really about the money.

It's about expectations, needs vs desires, borrowing and lending, saving and giving.

Money taps into so many other issues that come from the perspectives they form when they're small.

Money is a great tool for growing and influencing our children to have a healthy heart when it comes to generosity and wisdom.

Is your voice heard?

Is your word pure gold?

Or do you feel it's bouncing off them?

Is your influence beginning to fade as they get older?

This week, I’m going to share an easy way to help your kids value your words, no matter what age they are. I'll share a simple way to ensure that you're not falling into common parent traps that make your kids ignore your words.

I'll also share how some common parent-responses can switch them off and even unsettle them. 

Do people tell you it's normal for parents to get ignored? 

It doesn't have to be!

Why aren‘t they more grateful?

Do you ever wish your kids were more appreciative? I don't mean learning the word 'Thank you', but the actual heart-felt issue of feeling grateful for the little things and the big things? Is it possible to create that heart-sense?

Yes, it is!

This week we look at three ways to raise the gratitude levels in your home.

Raise Interested Kids

making conversation is an art that isn't just caught, it's taught.

Often children don't feel confident, or just aren't taught to take an interest: They'll answer questions that they're asked, but won't necessarily think or know how to go past answering and into connected conversation.

Here's how to get past the small talk...

Is there a magic tool that takes them from cross, frustrated and venting, to calmer? Something that stops flash points from becoming conflicts? 

YES!!!

It's simple and effective, but It's counter-intuitive too.

Are you ready to hard-wire a new response to an angry child? Great, then. come and listen and prepare to be surprised at how your well your children respond to the new you.
