Quality parenting doesn’t necessarily equate to quality time with your kids. In conversation with @nytopinion columnist Ezra Klein, the author Jonathan Haidt says quality is about structure, order and discipline — principles lost in the modern era of parenting. #theezrakleinshow #parentingadvice #parenting #nytopinion

Now that River is familiar with time-out, we're working on fostering respectful compliance and responding kindly, even when things don’t go his way. For me, it's important that my children trust and follow my guidance because I always have their best interests at heart. I expect kindness, not screams or pouts, and my 'ready to be nice' phrase is how we reset and move forward with respect. 💕✨ #gentleparenting #toddlertantrums #terribletwos #tantrums #momlife #momlifeunfiltered #timeout #momstruggles #parentingtips #parentingadvice #momtips #momadvice #momproblems

I am not alone in this experience. Many women have been in this exact same position. The work required to manage a home and a family is not something that one person should ever have to carry alone. It is possible to change these dynamics. It is hard but with the right tools and support it’s possible and it’s so much better on the other side. #marriageadvice #mentalload #mentalloadofmotherhood #divorced #divorcedmom #parentingadvice #default
