Husbands
- they need some down time once they get home but be sure to share with them what you need --> use communication, compromise and courtesy, not whining
- remember to date your husband!!!! Work on the relationship with the man you married because you are going to be with him longer than with your kids
Spirituality
- Make it a priority and find time for it (while nursing, in the bathroom, washing dishes)
- Keep a notepad next to your prayer chair to write things down as you remember them so you can stay focused on prayer (while remembering to pick up eggs from the commissary).
Children
- Every child is different but all of them need lots of sleep!
- Consistency is the key!
- If whining or fusing, trying to figure out what the reason is so you can fix it (sick, dirty diaper, sleepy, sad, etc)
- If throwing a tantrum, figure out why (no cookies before dinner, frustrated because they can't communicate their feelings) and then talk about it once the child has calmed down.
- Be sure to give lots of love while disciplining.
- The type of schooling (public, private, home) is a decision made based on the needs of each child and is a decision that can be changed as the child changes or as the needs of the family change
