Happy Bit: A Parenting Mantra to Create Happier Kids (and a Happier Mama)
Parents and kids seem to do a lifelong dance - at least for the first 18 years - between control and freedom. In this Happy Bit I share a parenting mantra I created that helps me focus less on control (and criticism) and more on the positives like love, warmth, humor and praise.
My only parenting tools are love, hugs, warmth, humor and compliments.
