Hi Dr. Laura:
I'm a stay-at-home mom of two children, ages 2 and 3. The past two years have been a struggle and I went into "survival" mode and didn't know how to end the cycle.
I called you recently after my kids started getting into frequent fights. Your advice was simple, but powerful - distraction! It hit me like a ton of bricks. I needed to get out of survival mode and become the stay-at-home mom I wish I had had. Your advice gave me clarity on how I want to raise my kids, and I'm spending time on focusing and engaging. When I focused instead on endless lists and chores, my kids didn't have my full attention.
Thank you for changing my thinking, which made me want to become a better mom. With me simply engaging in the moment, it has completely changed the tone of my home.
Kellie
