Caveat: Listen...if you're deep in a survival season...if you're putting your underwear on inside out because you're getting dressed in the dark and only half alive...if your idea of a well-rounded meal looks like a cup of coffee...that's been cold for hours...
This podcast is for future you...and we promise she's coming...
If you're coming out of the fog...
If you have a little more energy and capacity
If you feel like you're ready to lay some great foundations for your kids (and frankly...for you!)
Then this podcast is for today you or any mom friends you know who might be in this stage as well (the annoying one you love to hate, but also kind of look up to, and want to be).
The 4 levels of mastery is the hack I've used to introduce life skills to my children year after year.
And they apply to literally everything...
Cooking
Cleaning
Chores (scouring bathrooms, mopping floors, cleaning areas)
Social skills
Shopping
Errands (post office, returns)
Phone calls
Choose any topic and use these 4 steps...
- Observer (02:35)
- Helper (04:15)
- Leader (05:45)
- Doer (09:15)
It IS time.
But the payoff is incredible.
The majority of parenting is front-loaded, and when you teach a 7-year-old how to make an egg using these 4 steps...they can now serve their family making breakfast for years to come. And each time you do this, you add to the 'wholeness of your child and your family.
Jon Acuff says that if you want a kind 16-year-old, teach a 6-year-old kindness and give them 10 years to practice.
We couldn't agree more.
If you want an easy guide to print with the steps on it and an adorable certificate to light up your child's pride or to add to their homeschool portfolio, we added one in there, too. Grab the link here!
And beautiful mommas, never forget…
YOU are doing beautiful work!
