It’s a new year, it’s a new day, and we are all feeling great over here. December was very low key for us and Christmas break was a much needed break for all of us. Now that it is a new year, there will be new to-do’s and new goals to achieve.

What are some of your New Year’s resolutions?

I don’t normally make resolutions, but rather try to make conscious decisions about life in general. However, one of my goals for 2019 is to continue to guide my children to do “tasks” on their own. Instead of my children always coming to me when there is an issue, or a problem, I want them to be able to take care of these things” on their own.

Shifting responsibility to your child is a gradual process. I know my teenagers think that home responsibilities are for me, the mom, and not them. However, I am going to be shifting their mindset this new year. My teenagers need to take on some minor responsibilities and complete their own individual tasks. I really want to teach my teenagers how to manage circumstances that happen in their life.

For instance, ordering their own contact lenses. I have always just taken care of this for my teenage son. He leaves empty boxes on my laptop letting me know he is out of his daily contact lenses and I order new boxes for him through DiscountContactLenses.com. We have used DiscountContactLenses.com for years now and we actually love them.

Instead of leaving an empty box as an indication my son needs new contacts, he will now be taking over the reordering his own contact lenses. I don’t think this is a huge undertaking for him at all. Obviously the most essential responsibility my son has is to study and get good grades. I’ve always told all my children that their job right now is to go to school and bring home the best grades. I’ve set them up for success because I’ve instilled in them great study habits and they deliver great results.

My children already have specific chores in our home which they only need gentle reminding to complete. But, I am ready for them to assume more responsibility for other tasks that I seamlessly perform for them. These tasks are ones they don’t notice, but are essential in their lives and keep our house running smoothly.

I have evaluated other additional responsibilities my teenagers can take on for their own personal growth as well as for the smoother functioning of our home. Because, quite frankly, there are too many tasks on my momma plate. I definitely do not want to block my children’s development!
