It’s 5-7 pm. You’ve been with the kids all day or you’re getting home from work. Soon your husband will be getting home from work, too. Time to make dinner. Then you’ve got to run one child to hockey or dance or soccer practice. There’s homework to do. You should read with the kids for 15 minutes. They need baths. You are tired. Exhausted actually. The day has been long and everyone is just a little bit tired, irritable, and whiny. Some call it Arsenic Hour or Witching Hour….that 5-7 pm time frame when children seem to have the most meltdowns. Mama, don’t give in to bedtime exhaustion. You can still stay renewed! In this episode I share 8 things you’d never guess about bedtime exhaustion and how you can still have peace in your home in the evenings. Note: At minute 18:56 I talk about keeping sexual intimacy a priority inside your marriage. You and your husband were meant to have a fun, pursuing, nurturing, honoring, thriving sex life. But you’ve got to prioritize it. If there are little ears nearby, you can grab the earbuds at minute 18:56.

Are you tired of telling your children 100 times to do something before they actually do it? Wish you could stop reminding and nagging them all the time? It's exhausting! “How many times do I have to tell you to clean your room? Are you done yet? What’s taking you so long?" "Haven’t I told you already to clean up these Legos? How come they are still all over the floor?" Mama, you are already doing things by the hundreds! 100 diaper changes. 100 loads of laundry. 100 snacks for your kids who always are hungry. One thing you don’t need to be doing a hundred times is repeating your directions. Stop reminding and nagging your children. Tell them just once. It's time to renew your parenting approach. So grab a pen and paper and take notes because here’s how you can say it just once. SHOP the sticker award badges: I follow directions, I use time wisely, I stayed faithful to the task from the I Am Smart sticker book.

Self-control. How can you help your child choose self-control? And how do you teach them what self-control is? You can explain it this way: Self-control is self-discipline. It’s the ability to control yourself and your emotions with all of those feelings, wants and desires inside. Self-control is then how you express or show those emotions in your behavior. Self-control is needed in really happy situations and in difficult situations that make you feel hurt, hungry, angry, or lonely. In this episode of the Renewed Mama podcast, we are talking about how you can help your child develop self-control when they are (1) in pain and crying (2) when they are hungry (3) when angry (4) when still tired from a sleepover (5) or when leaving their grandparents or cousins and how they will respond when it’s time to go.

Are you nurturing your child’s heart and mind? How tender is your child's heart to receive your words of life? If you thought of their heart and mind like soil, is it rocky, thorny, or good soil? You’ll know by their behavior. How do they respond? What are you correcting again and again? Is there willful disobedience, selective hearing, and an attitude of “Come on, Mom. Do I have to?” Do they want to do it their way only instead of being teachable? Are there a lot of sibling arguments and strife in your home? You might be saying all the nice words to your children. You might be using the right body language and tone of voice. Yet it doesn’t seem to be resonating with them. Nothing changes in their behavior. Is anything you are doing to speak life actually working? In this episode of the Renewed Mama Podcast, we study the Parable of the Sower, the seed, and the four soils in the Bible and learn how you can nurture the soil of your child’s heart so that it is good soil and freely receives your words of life. #christcenteredmama #renewedmama #speaklifebadges #austinskidsclub 💬 Let's keep the conversation going!

We are chatting about lies, wrong beliefs, and words spoken over your children that need to be (1) acknowledged as lies, (2) need to be broken off, and (3) replaced with truth so that your children can have a new, renewed right way of thinking. If you don’t address the lies that your children are believing and teach them how to acknowledge it as a lie and the value in asking, “What is the truth about this that I should be believing instead?” your children will continue to say, “This is too hard. I can’t do this. I’m not smart enough. I give up. Why keep trying? I’m not good enough. I’m fat. I’m ugly. I don’t like who I am.” In this episode, I'll share 3 lies your children could be believing (I am afraid, I'll just lie so that I don't get in trouble, and I'm not important) and give you tangible tips for what you can do and scripts of what you can say to your child. If you find that your child is not receptive or open to the possibility that they are believing lies, I encourage you to watch the video called Tell Me No More Lies. It will help your child learn how to spot lies they are telling themselves. I use two lies as examples: “It’s too hard. I can’t do this.” and “I don’t belong.” Watch it here and download the fun coloring sheet: https://speaklifebadges.com/tell-me-no-more-lies/ SPEAK LIFE BADGES ON SOCIAL Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SpeakLifeBadges Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/speaklifebadges AUSTIN'S KIDS CLUB ON SOCIAL Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/austinskidsclub Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/austinskidsclub/ Sign your child up to receive Austin the Hedgehog's mailbox surprises each month at https://austinskidsclub.com/ The music used for this podcast was composed by Gop Intarachot and accompanied by Emmanuel Songsore.

“Math is hard. Why do I have to do this? I just can’t get this.” “Everyone else is faster than me. I look over at the kid next to me and watch him fill out his paper. And then I look at mine and it’s still empty.” “I don’t care anymore. Why try? I’m just too far behind.” I hear this from my tutoring students regularly. I came to realize a long time ago that there was a lot more than just math and reading that they were struggling with. It’s lies. They are believing lies. What lie are they holding on to? What is the truth that they could believe instead and how they can shift their mindset so that they began to believe the truth about themselves, about their school work, and what they are capable of? Mama, there are lies, wrong beliefs, words spoken over your children that need to be (1) acknowledged as lies, (2) broken off or no longer agreed with, and (3) replaced with truth so that they have a new, renewed right way of thinking. In this episode, we are going to talk about 3 lies your children are saying and could be believing: (1) I can't sit still (2) I'm afraid of not doing it right, and (3) You're lazy. If you find that your child is not receptive or open to the possibility that they are believing lies, I encourage you to watch the video called Tell Me No More Lies.

There is so much going on in the world. Do you ever stopped and thought, "How did we get here? I mean it’s crazy out there." How are you doing in all of this? How are your children doing? How are they feeling? This can be a scary time for our children. In this episode, we'll talk about how you can support and strengthen your children through this time. We want to raise up kind, wise, brave, children who can discern between what is truth and what are lies.

Have you ever said, “Will I ever stop changing diapers?” “When will I finally sleep the whole night without a little one waking me up?” “Will my son ever be able to read well? He’s really struggling.” Sometimes in our day to day, doing all the things, we get short sighted and forget about the future. Our eyes are on the right here, right now, and that is all we can see. The sun rises. The sun sets. And we just get by. It's time to renew our perspective so that we keep our eyes on the future and the good that will come. We need a vision for the future.

Do you tell yourself lies? No way! Maybe so. Yes. Does it matter? What you think and what you tell yourself, whether it’s true or not, affects YOU and your future.

We are excited to share this special video session with you! This video was created for both adults and children to watch. You’ll learn how to recognize lies that you are telling yourself and how to replace them with the truth. We’ll use two lies as examples: “It’s too hard. I can’t do this” and “I don’t belong.” You’ll learn seven questions to ask yourself to break off the lies and to keep truth rooted in your heart and mind so that you act in full confidence and become who you are meant to be.

You can try to cover up a lot of things, but you can’t cover up what comes out of your mouth…what you say. Can you? The truth is that your mouth tells what is in your heart, and what is in your heart is going to come out of your mouth. Luke 6:45 You might cover up or look good on the outside for a little while, but just as soon as you get frustrated or stressed, it comes out of your mouth because it’s in your heart, meaning it’s been in your thoughts. In this podcast episode, we talk about how the words you speak again and again are powerful in two ways: (1) Death or life is in your tongue. Proverbs 18:21 and (2) Your words steer your life.

Your words are a pretty big deal. Your thoughts and the words you speak have control of your life, whether you like it or not or whether you believe it or not. What you choose to think again and again…what your mind repeats over and over and what comes out of your mouth will determine your future. What you think and what you say is what you get.

Strife Conflict. We all have it. It exists in all relationships. It might be a spat or argument triggered by little things that if not resolved can grow into bigger issues. Strife is the enemy’s, satan’s subtle tool to set a wedge in your marriage, in your family and in your relationships. It’s his tool to get in and break them, steal your unity, and even rob you or your loved ones of life and prosperity. Conflict stinks. Strife is not worth it. And today we are talking about how to we can be done with it. In your marriage and in your home, unity is paramount. Your goal is oneness, wholeness. Unity is cooperation and cohesion. Being solution oriented. Stronger and safer together. There is mutual support and protection. That’s the goal in our marriage and in our home, but when we let strife in, it divides or breaks this unity. So what do you do when strife comes, when conflict happens, when you just can’t see eye to eye with your spouse or you just can’t persuade that 3 or 13 year old? Don’t forget…..

We know our children so well, but they know us, too. They can see right through us. You can go ahead and try to hide your mess ups. You can try to cover up your mistakes, but you won’t fool them. They can see right through you! So let’s take responsibility for our actions and be the first to admit, “Oops! I messed up. I got that all wrong.” Let them watch us humble ourselves to make amends, to right wrongs, and to become a better version of ourselves.

Am I going to get in trouble for spilling my milk? Mama, we want to be steady, renewed, whole. “Every moment of one’s existence, one is growing into more or retreating into less.

In this Renewed Mama podcast episode, I'll give you exact words or scripts you can say to your child using both praise and encouragement.

Do you find yourself shouting at your children? You're trying not to yell, but it seems to be the only way they will listen. Maybe they shout at you and stomp off which only makes you want to shout back. Maybe you are frustrated and overwhelmed and something like spilt milk or a lost shoe just sets you off with the feeling of it’s too much. And you shout. Shouting at our kids happens, but that doesn’t make it right or an acceptable way for us to approach our parenting. Listen in as I share 3 better ways than shouting.

Everyday kids get called out. Be quiet. Sit down. Slow down. What are you doing to your sister? Why can’t you share? They get called OUT for what they didn't do right. How they didn’t fall in line, follow directions, and perform. I want to challenge you, Renewed Mama to instead, call them UP, not Out. Call them up to a higher standard. Call them up to greatness. Say: "I love you and I see a lot in you. I'm calling you UP. Thank you for listening when it's time to listen. Thanks for talking when it's time to talk. And thank you for putting your hands to work when it's time to get the job done." As moms, dads, educators, and coaches, we can be intentional about the words we choose to say to our children and students. We can stop calling them OUT which invites negativity, criticism, and shame. Instead, we can call them UP to more, to all that they were meant to be, which invites hope, belief, and blessings on their future. So what does calling them up sound like? What should you be saying instead? Listen in as we talk obedience, complaining and whining, diligence, and high energy.

Today we are talking sounds. What do renewed words sound like? The old words compared to the new, right way of thinking and speaking. We start with renewing the words we think which becomes what we say because we are living the life we sow with our words. What we think and what we speak becomes our reality. If you catch yourself saying, “There's too much to do,” “I'm overwhelmed,” "There's not enough time to get it all done” or “I’m tired” or “It's chaos in here.” “The kids are out of control,” “The house is a mess,” and “The kids are fighting all the time.” then listen in to find out what you can be thinking and saying instead.

We all have a word bank. A bank of words we use each day when talking to our spouses, our children, to our coworkers, bosses, team members, neighbors, grocery store clerk, bank teller…..to anyone we come in contact with.... even to the dog! From this word bank comes what we think and what we say throughout the day. If we are going to be Renewed Mamas, we’ve got to stop right here, right now and check in with the words in our word bank.
