28 Challenges

There is no way to be a perfect Mom, but a million ways to be a good one. - Jill Churchhill

udfordringer med børn

Let’s stop and think about the role of mom and dad, not the cleaning and the chores, but the presence, the love and the patience we can give them.

Maybe you won’t be able to go through all the points, but reading them can be a good reflection and just being conscious and think about what we say and do can help us break bad patterns in everyday life. 

 

The 28 challenges are for mom and dad to do 🙂 

 

It’s not about being perfect and of course it’s good to be aware of your mistakes, but don’t let it define you. 

 

God bless all of you lovely moms and dads! Be of good courage.
