Lisa, a parent
herself, wrote THE BOOK "I'm Doing The Best I Can!" (They
won't always be cute and adorable), during a very important
time in her life... those TEENAGE YEARS! You know, the time
you start shouting "I'm doing the best I can, there's no
book!!!" The time when you look at your child's behavior and
say, "how in the world did this happen, I was always right
here,." or "I was there to take care of him and I was always
there when he got home from school. I even made sure his
friends were nice....how did this happen?"
Lisa will take you all the way back to when you brought this
beautiful bundle of joy home from the hospital and show you
just how it happened while encouraging you to make positive
changes to have a healthy and happy family.
We all want to give our children everything we didn't have. We
tell ourselves that we don't want to treat our children the
way we were treated. We want nothing but the best for our
children, and trust me it's okay to feel these feelings. But,
if we want to do things differently than what we already know,
get ready to accept repercussions from trying so hard to make
them happy.
It is time for us, as parents, to step up to the plate and
take a long hard look at our behavior. What messages are we
telling our children. Do they feel entitled to everything they
see? Do they expect you to live up to their expectations yet
never giving anything back in return? Do they make a scene
because you won't give them what they want? And to think, this
is what is happening by the time they are 4! Can't you just
wait until they are 14?
We must set boundaries, stay consistent, and not worry if we
are their friend. They will love us not matter what! Believe
this and know that you are there to build healthy, respectable
young people.
Let's bring back the 'family unit!' Go back to the time when
everyone chipped in. Encourage each other and show
appreciation at how important each person in the family really
is. Do chores together, spend quality time with one another
(without any interruptions....cell phones, etc.), put some fun
music on and really enjoy each other's company.
Lisa wishes nothing but healthy and happy parenting to each of
her readers!
