The Clarity That I Needed

Hi Dr. Laura:

I'm a stay-at-home mom of two children, ages 2 and 3.  The past two years have been a struggle and I went into "survival" mode and didn't know how to end the cycle.

I called you recently after my kids started getting into frequent fights.  Your advice was simple, but powerful - distraction!  It hit me like a ton of bricks.  I needed to get out of survival mode and become the stay-at-home mom I wish I had had.  Your advice gave me clarity on how I want to raise my kids, and I'm spending time on focusing and engaging.  When I focused instead on endless lists and chores, my kids didn't have my full attention.

Thank you for changing my thinking, which made me want to become a better mom.  With me simply engaging in the moment, it has completely changed the tone of my home. 

Kellie
