My notes pretty much sum up everything I've learned about the most important survival skills in mothering these six years:
Problem-solving and adaptability
Check it:
- Create a steady routine
- Be flexible and open
- If something is not working, there is a reason -- find a solution
- Adaptability -- things change, work towards keeping up with it all, which will include shifts in your plan of attack and/or solutions
- Find inspirations -- !!! Yes. An inspired mother will inspire her children. (I'm happier when inspired anyway -- def.)
- Analyze what isn't working
- Be intentional and take a moment to decide
- Life with children: constant training and teaching without always seeing an immediate result
- Consider both the problem and the potential solution
