How to Support Your Child’s Behavior at School

 

As we are midway through the school year and as a parent, I want to ensure that my child develops positive behavior habits that set him up for success. When he started receiving conduct marks for things like not listening the first time or being slightly disruptive, I knew it was important to understand what was causing these challenges and how to best support his growth. Here’s how to navigate this if you're ever in this situation as a parent trying to support your child effectively both in class and raising them up.

 

Step 1: Take a Breath First

The first thing I had to do was just take a breath. As parents, we juggle so much—not just in our personal lives but also with everything happening around the world. When something happens at school, especially when it feels unclear as to what is happening, my first reaction is frustration. But before reacting, I take a moment, breathe, and approach the situation with a clear mind.

 

Step 2: Helping Your Child at Home

After calming down and understanding the situation, the next step is to help your child navigate their behavior effectively.

• Discuss Their Conduct Openly

  Sit down with your child and have a calm conversation about what happened. Ask open-ended questions to get their side of the story. This helps you understand if the marks are justified or if they feel unfairly treated. Instead of jumping to conclusions, use this as a learning moment.

• Create a Behavior Tracking Chart

  Kids love visuals, and a behavior tracking system helps them take ownership of their actions. Log daily whether they listened the first time, followed directions, and stayed focused in class. Celebrate small wins and progress rather than just focusing on mistakes. To add fun to it, I like to add a sticker to reward great behavior.

• Use Positive Reinforcement

  Instead of just focusing on punishment, reward good behavior. Praise them when they listen the first time, follow directions, or improve their focus. Small incentives, like extra playtime or a fun activity, can be strong motivators to keep them on track.

• Practice Listening & Following Directions

  Reinforce listening skills at home by turning it into a game. Give simple directions and challenge them to follow them the first time. Over time, this helps build a habit of immediate response and attentiveness.

  If there isn’t any improvement, I usually take it to the next step below.

Step 3: Communicating with the School

1. Request a Meeting with the Teacher

   Open communication with your child’s teacher is essential. This week, I scheduled a meeting with my son’s teacher to gain a clearer understanding of the situation. When preparing for a meeting like this, think about specific questions that relate to your child’s experiences. Ask about the school’s behavior policies, how conduct marks are assigned, and whether the challenges are unique to your child or part of a broader classroom issue.

   I approach these conversations as a collaborative effort to support my child, rather than just seeking answers.

2. Ask for Documentation & School Policies

   If you don't have it already, request a copy of the behavior policy to ensure the school is following clear guidelines. This helps understand what’s expected and if there is details you need to know about in discipline.

3. Ensure Fair Treatment

   If I suspect that my child is being unfairly disciplined compared to others, I would gather evidence by talking to other parents, requesting class observations, or discussing with school administrators.

    

Our kids behavior is an opportunity for growth, both for them and for you as their advocate. By reinforcing positive behaviors at home, you can help them develop the skills needed to succeed. Open dialogue with teachers, setting clear expectations, and tracking progress are key strategies in guiding them toward better conduct.

5 Ways to Reduce Holiday Stress as a Moms

 

 

 

5 Ways Mothers Can Reduce Holiday Stress

As the holiday season continues and we are entering into a new year sometimes this can also bring about stress and overwhelm, especially for mothers. Balancing the spiritual significance of the season with the demands of festivities requires intentional effort. Here are five practical strategies to help mothers navigate the holidays with a sense of peace and joy.

1. Prioritize Your Relationship with God:

In the midst of holiday preparations, it's crucial to carve out time for the Lord. Engage in reading the word of God, prayer, or attend church services to reconnect with the true meaning of Christmas. By placing faith at the forefront, the season becomes a time of reflection and gratitude rather than a hectic race. {Please know that we are aware that Jesus was not born on December 25th}.

2. Simplify Your Traditions:

Review family traditions and consider simplifying or modifying them to align with your values. Focus on activities that bring genuine joy and meaning, steering away from the pressure to conform to societal expectations. Remember we are not to conform to this world but be transformed by the renewal of our minds. By streamlining traditions, you create space for more meaningful moments.

3. Delegate and Seek Help:

You don't have to do it all alone. Embrace in community and ask for help when needed. Delegate tasks such as cooking, decorating, or shopping to family members, friends, or your church community. Shared responsibilities not only alleviate the burden but also foster a sense of togetherness.

4. Set Realistic Expectations:

One of the significant sources of holiday stress is the pursuit of perfection. Whew, it took me years to free myself from this. Set realistic expectations for yourself and your family. Understand that imperfections are part of the joy of the season. It's perfectly okay to say no to certain commitments to preserve your peace and focus on what truly matters.

5. Schedule "Me Time" and Rest:

Among the hustle and bustle, prioritize self-care. Schedule time for yourself to recharge and indulge in activities that bring personal joy and relaxation. Ensure you get enough rest, maintain a healthy sleep schedule, and remember that taking care of yourself enables you to better care for others, especially your children.

This holiday season, let's shift our focus from chaos to peace. By embracing these strategies, Mothers can create a more meaningful and enjoyable experience for their families. Remember, it's not about perfection but about cherishing the moments that truly matter with family!

As you navigate this holiday season, we invite you to share your own tips and experiences in finding peace among the festivities. Join our community and connect with other Christian mothers on the journey to a more meaningful and joyful holiday season. Together, let's celebrate the true spirit of Christmas.

Best Ways to Celebrate a Single Mother

With Mother's Day approaching, it's important to start considering how to celebrate and honor all of the hard-working and dedicated mothers out there, especially those who are single mothers.

Single mothers are some of the strongest and most resilient people in the world, often juggling the responsibilities of parenthood, work, and personal life on their own.

 

To show your appreciation for a single mother in your life, there are numerous ways to celebrate and make her feel special. Here are a few ideas that you can consider:

1. Give her a day off: 

Treat her to a spa day or plan a day out for her to relax and enjoy some time to herself.

2. Plan a special activity: 

Take her out for a special activity or experience that she's been wanting to try, such as a concert, a cooking class, or a hot air balloon ride.

3. Throw a brunch: 

Plan a surprise brunch for her with her friends and family, where she can relax and be pampered.

4. Give her a gift: 

Give her a thoughtful and heartfelt gift, such as a piece of jewelry, a thoughtful book, or a heartfelt card.

5. Help her with a task: 

Offer to help her with a task or project that she's been struggling with, such as cleaning or organizing her home or planning a special event.

6. Show support: 

Show her your love and support by spending time with her and listening to her. Being a single mother can be hard and she might need a friend to lean on

7. Show appreciation in small ways: 

You can bake her favorite cookies, leave a note of appreciation or just give her a hug and tell her how special she is.

8. Show her support in her passion or hobbies. 

Buy her some supplies or help her with some work related to it. 

       9. Leave her alone and let her rest.

If you are a family member that wants to support a single mom. Take a day and keep the kids so she can do nothing but rest. At the end of the day, that's all we can use.

Remember that every mother is different and she might have her own preferences, it's always best to communicate with her and ask her what she would like to do. If you are a mother, I want to take this moment to say happy Mothers day and I am praying that this Mother day is filled with more love, joy, and relaxation.

How to Get Organized as a Single Mom

As a single mother, staying organized—especially with little ones running around—can feel overwhelming. I often find myself caught in a cycle of frustration, dreaming of the perfect Pinterest-worthy home while juggling a million things at once.

 

But let’s be real—it’s chaos. Toddlers are always moving, always learning, always growing. Trying to keep everything perfect only adds unnecessary pressure. Instead of striving for perfection, take it one day at a time. Enjoy your little ones, clean up what you can, and for the rest? Get to it when you can.

 

If you’re looking for practical ways to stay organized as a single mom, here are a few tips that have helped me:

 

1. Make a Schedule

Create a daily or weekly schedule that includes time for work, errands, and quality time with your kids. Having a structured plan helps you manage responsibilities while ensuring you don’t miss out on meaningful moments with your children.

 

2. Use a Planner or Calendar

Keeping track of important dates, appointments, and deadlines is essential. I personally love Google Calendar, but I’m also a big fan of good old-fashioned paper planners. Use whatever works best for you to stay on top of your tasks and commitments.

 

3. Prioritize Your To-Do List

Not everything needs to get done at once. Start by listing your tasks in order of importance. Focus on the most pressing ones first, and work your way down. If a task feels particularly difficult, I like to tackle it first to get it out of the way—then I move on to the rest.

 

4. Try to Delegate When Possible

If you have older children, involve them in small tasks. If you have family nearby, lean on them for support when needed. And if hiring help (like a babysitter or cleaning service) isn’t in your budget, don’t be hard on yourself if you can’t get everything done. Do what you can, and give yourself grace for the rest.

 

5. Create Small Organizing Habits

A cluttered space can add to your stress. Try setting aside just 15 minutes at the end of the day to tidy up—whether it’s clearing your desk, resetting your living space, or prepping for the next day. Small, consistent efforts go a long way.

 

6. Practice Sabbath and Rest

For the past two months, I’ve been faithfully observing a weekly Sabbath, and let me tell you—it has been a game-changer. Taking intentional time to rest and recharge has helped me manage my stress and energy levels. Prioritizing rest (including enough sleep) allows you to be more productive and present for your kids.

 

7. Be Flexible

Life happens. Unexpected changes will throw off your plans, and that’s okay. The key is to stay adaptable and open to new strategies. The more flexible you are, the easier it becomes to handle life’s curveballs.

 

Final Thoughts

Being a single mother comes with its challenges, but with the right tools and mindset, staying organized is absolutely possible. Prioritize what matters, delegate when you can, and take advantage of resources like support groups and technology.

 

Remember, small changes make a big impact. By creating routines that work for you and your family, you can reduce stress and bring more balance into your daily life. So take a deep breath, give yourself grace, and start implementing these tips to make life as a single mom more organized and enjoyable. 💛

Weekend Activities to Enjoy with Your Toddler

Hi Mommas, 

Weekends are the perfect time to bond with your child and create unforgettable memories. Engaging in fun activities not only promotes a healthy relationship between you and your child but also helps them develop various skills. Whatever you choose to do, make sure to prioritize quality time with your child, and cherish the moments spent together.

There are plenty of fun and educational activities you can do with your toddler over the weekend. Here are some ideas to get you started:

1. Visit a park: 

   Take your toddler to a nearby park for some fresh air and outdoor playtime. You can bring their bikes or balls to play with, or simply let your toddler explore the playground equipment.

    

2. Attend a story time: 

    

   Check with your local library or bookstore to see if they have a story time event for toddlers. This is a great way to encourage a love of reading while also socializing with other children. I recently visited the library to get a library card and found that there was so much to do for kids. The only thing to be mindful of are the homeless. They don't bother just make sure your kiddos don't wonder off out of site.

    

3. Cook or Bake together: 

    

   Choose a simple recipe, such as spaghetties or cookies, and let your toddler help measure and mix the ingredients. This is a fun way to introduce basic math and science concepts while also enjoying a sweet treat or a fun meal.

    

4. Arts and crafts: 

    

   Set up a table with some crayons, markers, and paper and let your toddler get creative. You can also try more involved crafts, such as playdoe time or making a collage.

    

5. Go on a nature walk:

    

   Take a walk through a nearby park or nature trail and encourage your toddler to point out different animals, plants, and insects. You can also collect leaves or flowers to make a nature collage or other craft.

    

6. Visit a children's museum:

    

   Many cities have museums geared specifically towards young children, with interactive exhibits and activities. This is a great way to engage your toddler's curiosity and encourage learning. Be mindful that covid is still real and a lot of these location have gone away with the mask mandate. It is not a good time for you to go away with the mandate as well. Masking up would be my advice to you.

    

7. Try a amusement themed park: 

   We recently visited a park called dig world and my toddler had a blast. He loves construction, so he was able to enjoy and ride on a lot of equipment during his time there. Lets not talk about when it was time to go. Homeboy cut up but we still made it through.

Remember, the most important thing is to spend quality time with your toddler and have fun together!

How to Take Care of Yourself as a Single Mother

As a believer, it is important for you as a single mom to take care of yourself. You should strive to be spiritually, physically, and mentally healthy in order to be the woman God has called you to be.

Taking care of yourself is not selfish as a single mom. It is essential for you to be the best mother you can be. Also, Jesus teaches in Matthew 22: 39 that we shall love our neighbor as yourself. For me, how can I love others if I’m not taking care of self spiritually, physically, and mentally.

 

 

There are several ways a single mother can take care of themselves, including:

1. Prioritizing self-care: 

Prioritizing your self-care can look like like you putting yourself on the calendar and not rescheduling your time unless an serious emergency. This can include taking time for activities that bring joy and relaxation, such as time with God, exercise, therapy, reading, or hobbies.

2. Setting boundaries: 

It's important for single mothers to set boundaries with their children, family, business, ministry, and others in their lives, in order to make time for yourself and your own needs.

3. Getting financial assistance: 

Single mothers may be eligible for government assistance programs, such as food stamps and cash assistance, to help with expenses. If you have a United Way in your city, please call 211 from your phone to see what services may be available to you.

4. Seeking counseling or therapy: 

Single mothers may benefit from counseling or therapy to help them cope with the stress of being a single parent and to work through any emotional issues.

Therapy Tip:

Check with your job benefits to see if you have therapy available as a benefit with your company. Search google for local programs that support therapy fees. Lastly, check with your local church to see if they offer counseling.

5. Building a support system: 

Single mothers can seek out support from friends, family, or a community of other single mothers. To become a member of the You Got This Club, a community for single moms to thrive not survive. Sign up to be added to the wait-list when the membership is available below.
