Hi friend, It's my favorite day—Thursday! Which means I get to share something good. Today I want to share a fun, silly game that you can play with your kiddos to get some really good laughs. It's called "horse race," but you can play it with any animal or people figurine you have around the house. See how it's done below! Watch it on Instagram Watch it on Pinterest Here's how it works: Unroll a roll of toilet paper across a long table or the floor. Place your figurine on the end of the unrolled sheet. Say "Go!" Everyone rolls up their toilet paper, trying to get their figurine to the finish line as fast as they can. I hope this brings a smile to your face as it did mine! ​ ​ Unsubscribe | Update your profile | 110 N Interstate 35 Suite 315-835, Round Rock, TX 78681 ​

Hello ! Why doesn't yelling work? Well, let's be clear here. It does work. In the short term. ​ If you scream at your child to "KNOCK IT OFF!" they will knock it off! Children are motivated by fear. We all are! But what we don't realize is that taking away a child's will has long-term negative effects. ​ Three Long Term Effects of Yelling 1) It creates an environment that is coercive. Your home becomes a home that children want to: escape from avoid and get even with As children age, they try to break free from the coercive environment that they are in. They reach out to peers for dependence because they can't rely on their parents for encouragement and love. This is not a good formula for success in adolescence! To learn more about the lasting effects of yelling, view my IG highlight on "yelling" HERE: VIDEO: "The Negative Effects of Yelling" ​ 2) Stopping behavior is not teachi...

Hello ! So, Why Do You Yell? Here's what we know about emotion: anger is always secondary. ALWAYS. Anger is always hiding something else! Those hidden feelings are vulnerable. They look like shame, discouragement, inadequacy, sadness, embarrassment, anxiety, and the list goes on and on. Vulnerable feelings need protection so we guard them.

I Struggled with Being in Control A little bit about me: When our family was just starting out, I really struggled with being in control of myself. My oldest daughter (bless her heart) was unfortunately on the receiving end of all my frustration. I knew that what I was doing was wrong, but instead I directed all of those triggered and annoyed feelings onto her and what SHE was doing wrong. Fast forward several years when I learned about Positive Parenting. Life. Changing! In fact, it changed my life so much that I founded @simplyonpurpose , an Instagram feed that has grown over 650K followers in 7 years. What does it mean to "Stay Safe"? A safe parent is a...
