Secret Parent Mission ยท 3 little steps ยท For the weekend

We know it's been a long week.

And you would rather be at a spa being pampered, ha ha.

However... here is the mission, folks, for the weekend!

This week's parenting mission has three little steps.

Step 1: Start the Day With an Extra Bedtime Snuggle ๐Ÿค—

Talk about how happy you are to have time to be with them today.

Step 2: This One's Just for You, Parents ๐Ÿ’›

When you hear your child laugh today, your job is only to listen.

Soak it up for a moment.

It's the simple things.

Step 3: Hang Back โณ

Allow your child a little more space today.

Hang back. Don't rush in with answers and help.

Try waiting 15 seconds, and see what your child can do all by themselves.

You've Got This!

A few little moments in a busy weekend.

That's all it takes.


Secret Parent Missions are quick thoughts and ideas before you hit the weekend.

Will you take the mission this weekend?

I'd love to hear how the mission went for you. Tag me on Instagram @principal_lisa.

Remember, it's top secret! ๐Ÿคซ

With love, Principal Lisa x
