“It’s not fair!” “I don’t want to do it!” “It will take forever!” Sound familiar? Do you have kids who argue, badger, or complain when they don’t get their way? Once in a while? Daily? Hourly? Have you tried every trick in the book to get them to handle the speed bumps of life with...

The day you ask your child to turn off their game—and they calmly say,
“Sure mom, I can play it later.”

Cue the shock.
Cue the joy.
Cue the realization that this didn’t happen by accident.

Flexible thinking is taught, not lucked into—and when parents lead the way, the entire family feels the difference. Less power struggles. More cooperation. A calmer home that actually feels good to live in.

If that sounds like a good time…
you’re right. 💛

📘 Raising Flexible Kids is now available on Amazon (paperback) and Kindle—filled with practical, real-life tools parents can start using right away. https://amzn.to/4p7fCAd

Because flexible kids are raised by intentional parents.
And great parents raise great kids.

I’ve spent over 30 years helping families, and one thing I know for sure is this:
kids who can think flexibly do better—in school, with friends, and at home.

That’s why I wrote Raising Flexible Kids.

This book is about teaching children how to:
• pause before reacting
• problem-solve when things don’t go their way
• handle frustration without melting down
• practice flexible thinking during games, schoolwork, and family life

Instead of getting stuck in “this isn’t fair” or “I can’t do this,” kids can learn to say things like
👉 “It’s no big deal.”
👉 “I can do it later.”
👉 “This won’t take that long.”

📘 Raising Flexible Kids will be available soon on Amazon and Kindle.
I can’t wait to share it with you!!
Stay tuned!!! 📕

✨ Words matter. As parents, the things we say today shape who our children become tomorrow. In the book of Proverbs we read:

“The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life…” (Proverbs 10:11)

Every encouragement, every gentle correction, every loving affirmation is like a spring of life for our kids—giving hope, identity, strength. Conversely, careless or harsh words can wound deeply.
Let’s choose to speak life into our children. Let our words overflow with truth, kindness, affirmation, and vision. It matters more than we imagine.

I often talk with parents about helping kids become more flexible thinkers.

When something doesn’t go their way or plans change, it’s easy for kids to get stuck in “that’s not fair” or “I don’t want to!”

Instead, we can help them practice thoughts like, “I can do it later,” or “It’s no big deal.”
These simple phrases build flexible thinking—and flexible thinking helps kids stay calm, problem-solve, and bounce back faster.

If you’d like to teach your kids how to think more flexibly, I’ve created some practical resources to help you get started. You’ll find them in my bio.
