MOMS!!! Stop Comparing Yourself To Others Motivation In this video I get real.(I've been having a lot of moments like this lately). I am going to expose the one secret, the one parenting tip that has transformed my homeschooling, and no kidding, my life. The secret parenting tip, is to stop comparing yourself and your kids to other people. I'm going to go deep. Not just saying "try relaxation techniques" or "quit Social Media" because we all know those don't work. They don't work! It's a deep rooted jealously issue. It's also FOMO. Fear of Missing Out, which is rooted in jealousy. I will also discuss how this affects special needs parents. As well as Nationally Normed Tests, Benchmarks and State Standards. And how these test can have both a positive and negative impact on children and you as the parent. Hope these Parenting Tips inspire you. Feel free to share with others. MOMS!!! Stop Comparing Yourself To Others Motivation #FOMO #homeschool

ADHD Bullet Journal - How Bullet Journaling Helps my Kids Stay Organized || Parenting Tips Do you have ADHD or do your kids have ADHD? Well the Bullet Journal is perfect for ADHD. It takes the Chaos in your live and helps you organize it, because you adjust it to work for your ADHD brain. In this video I give you a basic understanding of the Bullet Journal and how it helps with ADHD. How you and your kids can get started now and what it's done for our family. As a mom, former teacher, evaluator and tutor I am sharing the parenting tips that have helped me. Parenting a child with ADHD can be challenging a fun. The Bullet Journal (AKA Bujo) has helped us organize thoughts and plan for a month at a time. Bullet journals give ADHD kids freedom to doodle on one page, while brain dumping their other thoughts on another page. The structure of a bullet journal helps ADHD brains get organized instead of a planner because bullet journals are not your typical planners. Typical Planners will not give you three pages after January just to doodle before you can even think about February. Enter the bullet journal! Extra parenting tip: supply your student with pens and pencils of many colors for their bullet journal.
