Take the 2024 survey to share your advice and win the chance for free earrings! www.mommadeplans.com/survey -- Creativity in your kids doesn't look like just arts and crafts; although that's what we typically associate with creativity. Today we unlearn creative standards and realize what creativity actually looks like... it has a lot more to do with our mindset than our painting skills. There's some awesome practical tips on how to teach the skill of creativity. And we also get reminders on ways we may be supressing our kids creativity which I have totally been guilty of... curious if you're a lego creativity squasher as well?! Here's some takeaways to listen for: -Need for creativity especially now in the age of AI & social media -Creativity isn't just arts and crafts -Exposure to all the creative domains  -The steps to growing a creative mindset -Creative independence learned from Legos -Learning to be silly as an adult -Being a creative role model Meet Jeff Fajans, PhD- I'm the proud dad of Hendrix, a lively 5.5-year-old, and the creator of a unique style of kids' music that actually rocks under the artist name MrBoodaddy. Tess Taylor, President of the National Association for Record Industry Professionals, has even dubbed my style as “Beastie Boys for Babies” – a blend that's as fun for parents as it is for kids. Since Hendrix's birth, I've committed to producing an album each year (until Hendrix gets old enough to tell me to stop cause I'm embarrassing him:)) – a journey filled with funky, hard-rocking, hip-hoppin' tunes and relatable, hilarious stories I'd love to share with your audience. My work ranges from lively tracks like “Trash Truck,” “No Shirt Like My Daddy” “Mama's Gonna Love It,” “Sippy Cup,” “Phantom Poop,” and “Daddy Werewolf,” all available on Spotify and wherever anyone streams their music. Just this year, I was invited to join the Recording Academy as a voting member. In the future I'll submit my own albums for Grammy consideration in the Best Children's Music category. Beyond music, I'm a coach specializing in creative performance and leadership, helping creative entrepreneurs turn their visions into reality and bring their biggest ideas to life. I have a PhD in Positive Psychology from Claremont Graduate University, where I studied under Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the renowned author of “Flow.” Creative Parenting is a passion of mine - I've written a guide for parents on how to ignite and develop their kids' creative superpowers.

Truth bomb - we're not designed to do everything by ourselves.  You're marriage is a partnership where you work together for the desired outcome.

But instead of just complaining about having to do everything, today we actually lay out a plan to get into a better collaboration with our spouse and family. Listen in for some key takeaways about: -the problem with scorekeeping -how to determine who does what task -the cultural shift that makes it hard to have these conversations -how to have the first conversation (it takes more than 1) -the two way street of feedback -proper exceptations of change and success -lots of tips on the journey to a more equitable partnership in managing the home MEET SHARON COSTANZO: Sharon Costanzo is a relationship coach and host of the Respected & Connected podcast.

Non-negotiables have become a trendy topic and for good reason; they're really important. However, they tend to always be about creating those self care non-negotiables and we're missing the next step. So we're going to define what these are, how you know what your non-negotiables are and then who else we need to think about that may need them. The first step is self awareness which is a practice of noticing and it goes along way. It starts with you but it should go beyond yourself. We'll talk about how that works in today's quick episode and I believe afterwards you're going to be able to improve your relationship with your family and even your daily routines.

One of the big transitions in life is going back to work after becoming a mom. This can easily feel overwhelming and chaotic. Thankfully, there's people like Jackie who can give us all the tips to make going back to work a smooth process.  This step by step plan for going back to work includes: -what to think about before going back to work -the conversations you need to have and who to have them with when it comes to childcares and taking care of the home -how to manage your home once you go back to work -what to do in the days before you start your job (including what day of the week to start!) Meet Jackie Cook: I was working in the Netherlands throughout my first pregnancy and maternity leave. There, every woman has a right to postpartum care. Our caregiver (similar to a postpartum doula!) came to our home a few hours a day for the first few days. She checked on my physical recovery and mental health, answered questions, assisted with breastfeeding and bathing our son, and even provided my husband and me a guilt-free nap! When my daughter was born in Wisconsin a couple years later, the difference in postnatal support was immediately noticeable. My own experience, along with countless stories from new moms inspired the creation of Popins. I believe that people want to be the best version of themselves at work and at home, for themselves, their colleagues, and their loved ones. I am excited to help you and your family thrive.  Connect with Jackie: Website- https://www.popinsfam.com Newsletter- https://www.popinsfam.com/opt-in LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/company/popins-llc Facebook/Instagram @popinsfam https://www.instagram.com/popinsfam -- Join The Style & Strategy Club:  Earring of the month subscription for overwhelmed moms.

Hopefully you've learned it's not gentle in the way of being easy and passive, but incredibly intentional and intuitive for better outcomes that include more empathy and understanding with our kids.  Thankfully we have people like Peter James who have connected the dots to see how it really is rooted in the way God loves us and parents us. It's incredible to see the methods taught today show up in Bible times of how God interacted with his people.  Don't miss the methods shared today in how to really connect with God in our parenting so that we show our kids more than a checklist of rules. Learn how we build connection with God. And of course the practical takeaway thats easy to remember and implement in the day to day. About Peter James: Peter Daniel James is a father of four who discovered a need in the Christian parenting world for a book that bridges the gap between 30,000 ft. principles and daily application. It helps parents discover their own solutions to their own unique parenting challenges, using frameworks, questionnaires, and other tools.

Is that really the kind of mom life we all want to have? Are we all content to just feel like we're screwing up all day everyday? I'm not willing to settle for that narrative and I hope you're not either. The truth is, a lot of what you feel guilty about isn't even something you need to feel guilt over. It's things out of your control or it's based on expectations that aren't relevant to you. Let's go over what it would be like to use the feeling of mom guilt as a little red flag that simply gets our attention. It allows us to stop and actually make a decision on whether this deserves to drain us and make us feel bad or if it's an awareness tool to change our mindset or our actions to get one step further from a life of mom guilt.

Share this episode with a friend who is struggling to get her kids to help around the house. https://www.mommadeplans.com/162 And if you found this episode helpful, let others know this is a good place to find tips by leaving a rating or review - thank you! -- We all want our kids to chip in more and help around the house, right? But it never quite goes the way we want. Their version of helping never really meets our standards. That's because we've skipped a vital step when passing out chores. The problem isn't your child's inability to perform a task. Have you ever taken on a new role at work or gotten a new job? Part of the expected process is that you will receive training. Duh, right? Well are you asking your kids to take on new jobs that you haven't specifically trained them on at their level? (sorry, you performing the task around them every day doesn't count) If we're honest, we skip this step because we think it's obvious and not something we experienced. Or we have unrealistic expectations without regard to their personality and age appropriate skills. The system is flawed. So I'm bringing you the 5 important parts to include before you completely hand over a new task to your kid and expect them to complete it flawlessly.  MORE FROM JULIE: -Motherhood is overwhelming - take the quiz and find out which part of your home/life to focus on improving first! https://www.mommadeplans.com/playlistquiz -Learn the Assign A Time method in less than 14 minutes to boost your productivity Assign A Time Productivity System - Mom Made Plans -Printables to help you take action on your intentional life https://www.mommadeplans.com/shop CONNECT WITH JULIE: Website > http://www.mommadeplans.com Instagram >  https://www.instagram.com/mommadeplans/ Email >  julie@mommadeplans.com Email List Signup > https://tinyurl.com/mommadeplansemail
