This is one of the traits I try teaching my kids as much as possible. And this is a challenging task to do with three younger kids. But the results are very rewarding to you and to your kids at the end. My oldest son is showing kindness in many ways but sharing. There are several benefits in sharing with I get to in a little bit.

My kids don’t always share things with each other and they fight like cats and dogs in some cases. But at the end, they learn how to share or even start sharing with a big smile on their faces. Sharing can make everyone happy and bring peace to the situation.

Another benefit to sharing is that it help teach your kids to be humble with others. This is an awesome trait to have. Being humble is something everyone needs to learn.

It also brings peace and less chaos in your day. Instead of having your kids fight like dogs and cats, they will be playing in peace. Having small children in your house almost means there is very little quietness in your home.

I have seen both were sharing works and don’t work with your kids. It is a hard trait to teach to your child so be prepared for the long journey. Another reason sharing doesn’t work correctly is due to stubbornness.

Sharing is also a way to show your friendship and make new friends for your child or for you as a parent.

Leave your comments below on how you witness your kids sharing something with each other or with another kid?

The letter “R” was a hard one to write about today. I had already written two different posts for this letter, but both of them will be use at a later time. So for this challenge, I’m writing about routines and why they are so important in the lives of parents and children.

Routines is one of the most simplest and important things to do while being a parent. It will help keep your busy lives in check as well as keeping your sanity. I know this is the case in my house when it comes to routines. They are good in many ways and it keeps chaos out of your life.

Having a routine will keep parents organized and allow kids to follow a pattern. The younger your kids are , the more this comes into play and how much this becomes a teaching moment as well. It gives your kids structure in life. I’m not saying to not have a little bit of spontaneous life outside of your normal routine. In this case a little spontaneous chaos in your kids life will keep them on their toes and training them about change that happens in the world.

Another advantage of routines is that everyone is calm with little to no frustration. At least I hope it is calm in your house. I know it is in my house since we have a routine in place. It also helps with time management. It allows you to get your kids to the bus stop or even to school on time without having to rush in the mornings. It also helps get your kids into bed.

How does your routines work for you? If you don’t have any routines, then are you going to start one? Please leave your answer below in the comments.

Quiet Time in Your Parenting Routine? (A to Z Challenge)

Every parents dream of multiple small children is quiet time. It’s a time for a parent to relax for a little bit without worrying or thinking of what their kids are doing for a few seconds. If you have older children than you know how much quiet time is value as a parent. If you have real young kids than you will know what I’m talking about once your child or children get into the toddler years or higher.

I enjoy my quiet time I get while around my kids. It is mostly when they are asleep or if we are watching a movie at home. If I’m away from them for a few hours then it feels unnatural since I’m so used to the noise around me. It is funny that when the noise levels and the chaos started around the house it was unnatural. Now it is just normal noise.

If my house all of a sudden gets quiet, then I start doing a head count of my kids. Most times this happens when they are getting into trouble or they are trying couching one of them into doing something they are not supposed to do. So quiet time is sometimes not as quiet as I would like it to be.

So do you treasure your quiet time with your kids or do you wonder what trouble they are getting into? Leave your comments below.
