"Your time is limited, don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary." Steve Jobs

Don't give up on your children! Even when the going gets tough. Find a way to communicate with your children, maybe write them a letter so that they know where you are at. It is not about reaching out to your partner or Ex to have a relationship with your children but rather reaching out to your children in the best way you know how to. Even if it is the other parent that is in the wrong, the fact that you are not in their life is something that children will hold against YOU! Why did you leave me mum/dad? Why didnt you help us when you knew that we were having an awful time with the parent that we live with?

No, children don't always see things the way adults do because they are .... children, and we shouldn't expect them to

Happy Thanksgiving to all those celebrating!

For everyone else, what else could you be thankful for? We all have some much to be grateful and thankful for and yet sometimes we overlook the little things that keep us going, keep us happy, keep us sane, keep us loved and loving. I’m thankful for my two boys who I know have helped me over the years to keep going when the road was long and the journey a tough one. Now the youngest is 16 years old, I can look back over the years and say THANK YOU!

Please tell me what has happened to our education system! More and more parents who join my Easy Tiger Parents Programme are challenged by their level of reading and writing and feel insecure within a group setting for fear of others finding out about their challenge! The Easy Tiger Parents Programme and Easy Tiger Parent System™ generally is very experiential and is not about how much parents write, but rather about HOW MUCH parents DO with their positive learnings!

Just breathe! Whatever it is that you are dealing with and struggling to get the results you desire – just breathe into the situation! Relax and breathe and allow your mind to give you the inspirations to bring forth the solutions to bring about the results

 

 

How are you unearthing the ‘acres of diamonds’ in yourself today? Many of us go outside of ourselves to find answers and solutions to what we want to be and have. That also includes seeking approval to be. This was one of my own downfalls in the past where I looked to others for approval. Looking within is where the answer is. What are you looking outside of yourself for, that you probably already have within you?

Giving to charities: when you give to charities, do you know if the charity is assisting the recipients to be: responsible, accountable, preserve their dignity and become productive? Or does the charity assist in derode these qualities in their recipients thus making them even more dependent? Does the charities focus on educating its recipients? (Dr Demartini)
