Finding Joy in Motherhood, Janet Quinlan

Sign up for my free workshop on "The Real REason Your Kids Don't Listen" HERE.
If you feel like you spend your entire day telling your kids what NOT to do, correcting behavior, giving consequences, and putting out fires, you may be stuck in reactive parenting.
Reactive parenting can leave moms exhausted because they are constantly responding to the behavior that is happening right now—instead of teaching their children the skills and virtues they need to behave well in the first place.
The goal of parenting isn't simply to stop bad behavior. The goal is to teach our children how to behave well.

In this episode, I discuss the importance of motherhood in affecting change within the culture.
Today is the 1 year anniversary of the death of Charlie Kirk, and tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attack on 9/11.
It can seem that, as moms, we don't have any ability to contribute and change the culture towards one of beauty, Truth, and goodness.
But, we can have an enormous influence by focusing on our family culture.

In this episode, I talk about lessons, reminders really, that I learned when we had our 16 grandchildren for "Grandma Camp".  
It's easy to lose perspective when you're parenting day in and day out, but having the kids for a brief time helped me remember how much I loved raising our kids, and how hard and great it can be to parent.

We have social media content creators, advertisors, friends, and maybe family members present an idea of what motherhood is and how it should be lived.
Very often, they miss the mark unless you were very blessed to have a good mom or female relatives who lived their calling to motherhood with joy.
In this episode, I walk about the real meaning of motherhood, and why it is so important in the world, and in our own relationship with God.

Raising well-behaved children is not about discovering the secret consequences that will finally get them to cooperate and behave.
It isn't about time-outs or specific punishments.
Well-behaved, cooperative children who listen the first time, respect your authority, are self-motivated and independent, and most of all happy, comes from parenting through virtues - teaching them the skills, the habits, the virtues that help them behave.
