Here are some from the past few days: (she sends them every day at 2:00 p.m.)
​

The number one priority in family life is this:​

There's a lot to be done in family life: shopping, cooking, cleaning, carpooling and all the rest. Just make sure that you leave time for the most important thing: relationship! Make time for sharing, listening, supporting, laughing, relaxing, loving. That's what family is all about.
​

Forgetting is the most natural thing to do......​

When you or your loved one forgets to do something important, remember that every person who has ever lived has done this as well. Go easy on yourself or them; we're all only human.

​

Follow the rules in order to reduce conflict.....​

Conflict is part of family life. The trick is to minimize the harm it can do. This can be accomplished with some agreed-upon family rules such as no name-calling or insults, no raised voices or aggression and no walking out. You can make up the rules you need for your own family based on what is producing the most stress in your home. Remember to add in some positive rules too, such as repeat back before answering and try to find solutions that work for everyone at the same time.
​

Enjoy the future today!​

We live with uncertainty. We don't know what tomorrow will bring for us or our children. Although some people are more bothered by this fact than others, we can all use some coping strategies. Developing the habit of imagining positive outcomes is one very good tool that we can all use. Ask yourself and your kids: "What if things worked out well? What would that look like?" And then allow yourself and encourage them to just think about that happy scene for awhile. The more one uses this tool, the calmer and happier one will be. Gift your kids with it.
​

Here's how to get your child to do things right:​

Make your life easier: notice and comment more frequently on the things your child is doing right than on the things he or she is doing wrong. Why will this make your life easier? Because the more you do this, the more your child will be doing right!​

Thanks! I signed up for the daily emails and got this:

Welcome to your first Parenting Post! There's so much to think about when it comes to family life. Let's start with thinking about YOU! It's important for you to look after yourself so that you can look after your family. When you notice that you are feeling irritable or impatient, take it as a SIGNAL to do something that will restore and balance your energies. Once you have nurtured yourself a little, you'll be ready to nurture your loved ones too!

As soon as I finished reading it, I went to take a nap.
