Q: For the last six months I've been getting together with a group of new mothers. We all have the same question: How can we get our husband to help more with the baby?
show/hide answer
A: I don't feel it's a matter of getting help with the baby as much as it is a valid desire to have your husband connect more with both you and the baby as a family - as a unit.
I think just about everyone agrees babies are a lot of work as well as the source of a whole lot of joy. If you all feel that your husband isn't "helping" you must also feel that he is missing out on a lot of the delightful moments - the small miracles - that happen in the midst of the day-to day esential seemingly mundane tasks of parenting.
You want these guys to be "in", fully with both feet - entirely present to living this amazing life with you as a parent - am I right?
I've discovered a wonderful way to invite anyone in to an experience I want to share with them - enjoy the expereince so much yourself that you can't help but share with them all of your joys and mini-epiphanies around parenting, and soon enough they'll want to expereince this "fun" for themselves and not miss out on any of these fleeting moments. They'll want to discover for themselves what it is that is the cause of so much happiness in you.
Let me ask you all this - do you find yourselves complaining more often than not to your husbands (or to each other) about how much work it is and how tough it is to parent "all alone." Every woman I know who has a very engaged, family oriented husband - is having so much fun, loving her kids that her husband just naturally chooses to join in the fun.
All this is, is a matter of focusing on the grace in your life - and allow the pain and problems to wither and die of neglect.
Try this for one week - no complaints - just complements and acknowledgement of all of the good in your life, and watch your husband miraculously change. Why? Because you have!

Q: My 15-year-old daughter is at that age where she doesn’t want to spend any time with me but rather be with her friends constantly. Do you think she’d lose that attitude if we go on a trip just the two of us? If so, what kind of trip do you think a teen would like to take with her mother?
show/hide answer
A: I suggest that anything you choose to do with your daughter - whether it's a trip around the corner to the grocery stor or a trip to the Swiss Alps - is something that you absolutely LOVE to do. Share with her something that makes you feel so happy and alive that your joy is contagious. We can never give anything to another that we haven't first received for ourselves.
If you choose to share something with your daughter that you really, truly love, she will see you in a whole new light. There will be no coersion or manipulating necessary. Joy and Sef-love are magnetic! | (view all answers to this question)
Q: My son usually prefers to drink rather than eat. I have the hardest time getting him to eat food, unless it's peanut butter and jelly, fruit (must be mushy, not crunchy), green beans or corn. He used to like cheese and eggs but lately he's developed an aversion to that as well.
show/hide answer
A: This too shall pass!
Perhaps even by the time you find yourself reading my response you son will have changed his appetites and his mind about what he likes and doesan't like several times.
The less commotion you make about food issues, the better off everyone will be.
The over all theme of my book, Soul-Full Eating - is: Eat with love, what's grown with love, prepared with love and served with love. Focus on Love!
That is all children (and adults :) crave any way.
Tell your son,to eat what he loves while focusing on REALLY loving it. Then he'll always feel a sense of fulfillment. Fulfillment in the knowing that you LOVE him. If you want him to to eat healthy, nutritious and delicious food - then you love and enjoy healthy and nutritious foods right in front of him and share your love of what you're eating as well as the food itself. But do not force anything on him. If you love good, wholesome food, then he will too. If not immediately... very, very soon. | (view all answers to this question)
