Topics will include helicopter parenting, how to really connect with your children, how to find your joy in motherhood, why every mom needs an “all by herself” vacation, how to refrain from jumping in the car and just driving away, and why saying YES is the most powerful response to a young child’s requests.

    The Real Kathy Lee Podcast | To the Mom Who Always Questions Herself, episode replayAre you a mom who always questions herself? Guilt has been on my mind so much this past week. It seems everywhere I turn, women are sharing with me how much they are questioning their every decision and how guilty they feel if someone disagrees with them. Oh, ladies, I want you to live a guilt-free life. Honestly, this has been one of my greatest struggles. I am a recovering people pleaser. TBH (to be honest in cool kid lingo), I still struggle with questioning my decisions and hoping I haven’t hurt someone’s feelings in the process.

    Today I share some thoughts on helping us all recognize when we are being held captive by people pleasing and guilt.

    Thank you to our sponsor:

    Route 60: The Biblical Highway

    1. Know Yourself – If you haven’t taken a personality test, you should. There are several different types you can take, you can check out Myers Brigg. Knowing yourself will help you be confident in your strengths.
    2. Know What Triggers You- Did you struggle with perfectionism as a kid? Did you experience trauma? Did your parents expect certain things from you? Did someone question your every move?
    3. Be true to Yourself and Your Story- What is your plan for your family? Talk openly with your spouse and your small circle of friends.
    4. Don’t write a shitty first draft- As Brene’ Brown says in her book Rising Strong, our brain will create a story when we don’t have answers. Resist doing this. This will often lead to unnecessary guilt.
    5. Know your Love Language- If you are a quality time person, you often feel guilty if you don’t offer quality time. If you are a gifts person, you will sometimes struggle if you don’t think you picked the perfect gift. Be aware of this common transfer of emotion.

    I think the bottom line is this, we are all trying to do our best. Let’s offer each other grace. Most importantly, let’s give ourselves grace!

    Loving Children Who Have Experienced Trauma with The Real Kathy LeeWhat is trauma?

    This episode is sponsored by CTCMath.com.

    trau·ma
    ˈtroumə,ˈtrômə/
    noun

    1.
    a deeply distressing or disturbing experience.

    What causes trauma in young children?

    • Past or Present Abuse
    • Stress in the home
    • Divorce
    • Death of Pet
    • Death of Family Member/Friend
    • Unhealthy environment
    • Adding a new family member.
    • Move
    • Witnessing something horrible, scary, or stressful. This can be a real life event or witnessed via media.

    You don’t need to know what caused the trauma in order to help.
    Behavior is Communication
    GET CURIOUS…What is their behavior saying to you?

    • Withdrawn
    • Anxious
    • Misbehavior
    • Angry
    • Fearful
    • Powerless
    • Exhausted

    THIS ISN’T ABOUT YOU

    If it is a big deal to them, it is a big deal. Try to stay unemotional during the most emotional times.

    Children from hard places need to know they are safe, loved and Accepted, no matter what.

    Essentials of TIC (Trauma Informed Classroom)
    Connect – Focus on Relationships
    Protect – Promote Safety and Trustworthiness
    Respect – Engage in Choice and Collaboration
    Redirect (Teach and Reinforce) – Encourage SkillBuilding and Competence
    Hummer, V., Crosland, K., Dollard, N., 2009

    10 ways to help…

    1. Have a Routine.
    2. Choose Your Words Carefully.
    3. Provide a space for one.
    4. Give permission to feel.
    5. Honor their feelings.
    6. Be available.
    7. Be flexible.
    8. Educate others.
    9. Don’t expect to have all the answers (Ask them).
    10. Create opportunities in the classroom for the child to experience success.

    Make a plan…
    What do you need to be prepared?

    Who do you need to talk to?

    Any unresolved trauma in your own background?

    What needs to change in you OR your environment?

    Keeping Your Calm This School Year - Tips for Surviving Back to School with The Real Kathy Lee - Listen Now! #podcast #moms #homeschool

    Keeping Your Calm This School Year

    Special Replay sponsored by CTCMath.com

    As this school year approaches, I thought I would share some of my plans to have a calm year! This year I have one 7th grader, one 9th grader, two high school seniors, one in Estethecian School and one junior in college. Whew, that is a lot. I will be honest, the first couple of weeks I find myself struggling to get us all on the same page. Between school, jobs, sports, etc… keeping this house running smoothly is a challenge.

    Here are some of my tips for surviving back to school:

    1. Create Dream Posters.
    2. Create a Healthy Meal Plan.
    3. Follow Through on Healthy Meal Plan.
    4. Plan a family night to make dream posters. You will need poster board, markers, magazine, and glue. Invite your children to create a dream poster and display them in your home.
    5. Have a Dream Poster Date Night with your partner/spouse.
    6. SLEEP… get sleep. Make sure everyone in the home is getting enough sleep.
    7. Organize your space and remember less is better. Don’t forget to create a cozy corner for reading books/getting away.
    8. Take time to watch and listen. What are your kids talking about, playing with, dreaming of? What pushes their buttons, brings them joy, challenges them?
    9. Create a realistic routine that you can live with. Encourage children to stick with routine.
    10. Be Flexible – If something isn’t working, don’t be afraid to change it.

    inviting spaces homeschool little ones podcasat the real kathy lee Special Replay | Creating Inviting Spaces for Your Homeschool for your Little Ones

    When my sweet friend, Misty sent me a Marco Polo (a cool video app) asking my opinion on her child’s playroom, I thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts with all of you on creating inviting spaces for your little ones!

    Everyone is worthy of feeling as if they belong, especially our children and most definitely in their own home. Before you begin designing an inviting space for your children, I suggest you get on your hands and knees and crawl around your home. YEP, literally get on your hands and knees. Spaces look so different from a child’s eye level. Ask yourself, how do things look and feel from that level. Are there enough “small” areas for your children to work, play, discover and explore?

    Work, An Element of Inviting Spaces in Your Homeschool

    Children need small ways to contribute to the family. They need work. Create spaces for their belongings on their level. Have a drawer for their cups, plates, utensils, and special cooking items. Have a bucket with basic cleaning supplies and cloths. Place hooks low enough so that children can hang up their own coats. Creating good habits at a young age pay off.

    Play, Building Relationships through Ideas

    Children are meant to play. How easy is it to say YES to their ideas for play? Less is definitely more in this area. Children do not need 20 containers full of toys in a playroom. During the early years it is likely that everything that is in a container will end up dumped on the floor, all at once. Buy quality toys and items that inspire open-ended play. This is more engaging for the child. I suggest you keep it basic. Some quality blocks, some arts and crafts materials, something that inspires pretend play (dress up, kitchen, baby dolls, etc..) and a cozy corner with books. Put everything else in a large plastic bin and keep it for a month. During that month, move anything your child asks for into a different bin. Whatever is left in the original bin after a month, donate.

    Discover and Explore, The Great Outdoors

    Kids need permission to get outside in search of discovery and exploration. Do you have a space for them to do that? Do you have materials such as nature journals, pencils, binoculars, and bird/flower books to inspire them? Keeping these type of items handy will help you say yes!

    Creating inviting spaces is worth the time and effort! Get down on your hands and knees and start crawling around your space today!

    Top Ten Things Your Preschooler Wants You to Know | Replay Jul 06, 2023
    Show notes

    Top 10 Things Your Preschooler Wants You to KnowTomorrow, I get to share my passion for preschoolers with about 100 preschool teachers. I am sharing with them the Top Ten Things Preschooler Want You to Know. I thought you might enjoy hearing this list, as well.

    Get a FREE Organize It! Planner

    #10 –Just because I use potty talk does not mean I have to go potty.

    When I child calls you poopy head, simply say something like, “What? I have poopy on my head. Nope, I don’t think I have poopy on my head.” Children use potty talk to get the attention of others. Once they realize that their words don’t shock you, they won’t use them as often.

    #9 – Just because I can hold a pencil and spell my name does not mean that I am ready to read and write.

    If I begin counting in Spanish…. Uno, Dos, Tres, etc…. you might assume I speak Spanish? I don’t. Just as counting in Spanish does not mean I speak Spanish, holding a pencil and spelling their own name, does not mean a child is ready to read and write. Reading predictable books, Reading quality books, asking good questions, journaling, making books, recognizing that words have meanings, inventive writing, scribbling, and manipulatives all help prepare a child for reading when it is time (somewhere between 5-8).

    #8 –Children need variety when they are outside.

    Many children need to run, jump, climb, and ride when they are outside. However, some need to be on a blanket with a book or building blocks. Offer them a variety!

    #7 – There is more to forgiveness than “I’m Sorry!”

    In the early childhood world, it is often said – “Don’t force a child to say I am sorry.” However, rarely is an option given. How should we handle those hits, ugly words, and moments of anger? The goal is to help children understand that their actions have consequences. What they do impacts other people. When they hit their friend, their friend is hurt. When they say unkind things, their friend is hurt. Children should be encouraged to use their words and express their feelings.

    #6 – She is not invited to my birthday party.

    Preschoolers are trying to figure out who they are, what they like, and how to establish boundaries. This is an important time for teachers to help children put their words to their emotions. This is a gift we can give children. We would all say that we want adults that can work out problems and strife in their relationships. This needs to start early. Just like #7, helping children express how harsh words make them feel will them in the long run.

    #5 – We learn through the process and not the product.

    It is in the process of discovery, experience, and wonder that children learn. When we focus on an end result, we often miss the actual lesson of the process.

    #4 – Please listen, we have something to say.

    We can learn about children’s needs, stresses, developmental areas, etc… if we will take the time to listen to their stories, their pretend play, their questions, etc… If we don’t give them time during the small moments in their life, they will not give us time when the big topics arise.

    #3-We need to experience to explore a topic.

    “Being a kid is dirty, messy, noisy work. It is in the experience that we actually understand the topic. Whatever we hope to teach children about, the brain needs to experience through the senses. It is in the touching, smelling, hearing, tasting, and seeing that the brain builds synapses.

    #2 – We are ALL different.

    Honor who your child is! Our goal as a parent is to help a child become who they were already meant to be.

    #1 – MEMORIES will be made!

    Bottom Line, what do you want children to remember in 5, 10, 15, 20 years? What impact do you want to have on them?

    Thoughts About My Upcoming Graduate - The Real Kathy LeeSpecial Replay | Thoughts about my Upcoming Graduate

    I can’t believe that I have another senior this year (insert tears)! In just a few short weeks, Grace will be graduating high school and pursuing her passions as a makeup artist and esthetician. I am so proud of the young woman she has become. Before she graduates, we are heading on a senior trip (a Caribbean Cruise) this week. As I was thinking about this upcoming trip and her graduation, I started asking myself if I had covered all of the parenting talks. Of course not. How do we EVER share EVERYTHING. I did decide to make a list of some conversations and topics I wanted to have with her this week. I can’t think of another time in her 18 years that we have been alone for this long. We will be together for eight days and I thought I would mention one topic per day.

    1. BE YOURSELF
    2. LOVE YOURSELF
    3. LOVE OTHERS
    4. HAVE BOUNDARIES
    5. TALKING ALWAYS HELPS
    6. RELATIONSHIPS ARE WORK
    7. QUALITY IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN QUANTITY, ESPECIALLY IN FRIENDSHIPS
    8. EXPECTATIONS RUIN RELATIONSHIPS

    I am excited to spend this time with Grace. I want to say a special thank you to my husband who encouraged me to say YES to this special trip with her. Next week, I will be in Cincinnati at the GHC conference! Can’t wait to see what lessons are waiting for me there! Happy SPRING!

    Blessings!

    Say YES and have a great week!!!

    Are You an Unaware Mommy Shamer?Are you an unaware mommy shamer?

    Have you ever been guilty of mommy shaming? I sure have. I honestly did not realize I was doing it until years later, but unfortunately, that doesn’t change the fact that I did it in the first place. I hope this episode will encourage you to look at yourself and make sure you aren’t guilty of being an unaware mommy shamer.

    Thanks to our sponsor, CTCMath.com – we are pleased for their continued excellence in education and dedication to the homeschool community. It is due to sponsorships that our programs continue to come to you without cost. Please visit the website and check out their curriculum.

    Lesli often tells the story of me mommy shaming her shortly after we first met. She offered me a pair of shoes similar to the ones in the picture below and I refused them because “my daughter was not allowed to wear heels.” Yep, I said that. Nope, I am not proud. Yep, it was mommy shaming.

    Once I looked back, I realized that I was often mommy-shamed in those early years. I would proudly state my opinion about holistic medicine, homeschooling, etc.… not realizing that just my tone about the subject could be harming another mom.

    Mothering is a mystery. Mothering is challenging. At times mothering is flat-out overwhelming. Most of us are insecure of our decisions, especially early on. I think many of us “yell” out our opinion as a cry for affirmation. Unfortunately, our opinions are often seen as mommy shaming.

    If you think you might be guilty of being an unaware mommy shamer, here are my suggestions:

    1. Recognize why you mommy shame.
    2. Recognize when you mommy shame.
    3. Strive to be quietly confident, only sharing STRONG opinions among your inner circle.

    Mommy shaming divides. We need each other. Let’s spend our time respecting each other, encouraging each other, and loving each other.

    You’ve got this!

    Are you a bad mom? Podcast with Kathy Lee

    On this episode, I had the privilege of chatting with my beautiful daughter-in-love, Caroline. Last June, Caroline made me a grandmother when she gave birth to the coolest twin boys! Levi and Titus rocked all of our worlds, especially hers. Caroline gets real and vulnerable as she shares her journey of expectations vs reality. I think many moms can relate to Caroline’s story and can empathize with everything she shared. Caroline shares openly about her many experiences with children leading up to motherhood and the fact that even then, she had no idea what it was like to be fully responsible for a newborn life (or lives in her case).

    Thank you to our Sponsor! CTCMath, a wonderful Math curriculum for the entire family of school-aged children. This one-stop shop has grades K-12; check it out. Homeschoolers can save 50%!

    Caroline with her boys, Titus and Levi

    Caroline encouraged moms to give themselves grace, focus on the present, and enjoy the time when they are small. We also talked about the importance of other moms walking alongside new moms, not just expecting moms. New moms get lonely and tired and could use a visit from a friend to cheer them up in those early days. I mentioned my favorite gift from a lady in our church was when she offered to come and hold my new baby so I could take an uninterrupted nap. That was heavenly!!!

    Levi and Titus have not decided what they will call me; any suggestions???

    Caroline suggested every mom read this book!

    Mothering is a Marathon with Keri Vasek
    Mothering is a Marathon with Keri Vasek

    It had been a while since I had Keri on the show. Actually, it had been a while since Keri and I had talked in real life. It was good to catch up with her and hear what was on her heart. Keri took a few minutes to catch us up on her home and family. She has been a busy lady since we last chatted. Next, Keri asked about my suggestions for sibling disagreements. I admit that I don’t know all the answers to this one, but I did have a few thoughts and suggestions to teach children to be kind to one another.

    Thanks to our sponsor CTCMath, a wonderful Math curriculum for the entire family of school-aged children. This one-stop shop has grades K-12; check it out.

    Keri and I spent a good amount of time talking about a statement I often make during my speaking engagements, “Mothering is a marathon.” I do say that a lot. I really want parents to understand that it isn’t a sprint, it isn’t just getting them to kindergarten, or high school, or even adulthood. It is a long, tough journey that has ups and downs… highs and lows. It will test us, require patience, and definitely demand endurance. It will be worth it. It is worth it.

    We chatted a little bit about the popular TV show; This is Us. If you haven’t seen it, you should. I am pretty sure my twin is the writer for this show. I know you feel the same. It is so true, so raw, so needed. We can all learn valuable lessons from this show.

    Mother's Day Surprise! with The Real Kathy Lee Happy Mother’s Day to my mom and all of you moms listening!! This week I thought I would share some reminders from a talk I have been giving this summer at conferences nationwide. At the end of this episode, I have a BIG surprise; you don’t want to miss it!

    This episode is brought to you by CTCMath.com – a wonderful math curriculum for all of your homeschool needs or to brush up on new skills.

    During my talk, “What Every Mother of Preschooler Needs to Know,” I share the following:

    1. Your children will remember how you lived.

    How do you spend your time? What are your passions? Will they remember that you were physically and emotionally present?

    1. Your children will remember how you loved.

    How do you love? Do you show affection? Say I love you?

    1. Your children will remember what you loved.

    What do you love? People? Things? Birds?

    1. Your children will remember whom you loved.

    Do you love others? Do they see that? Do you love yourself? Do they see that? Hear that?

    1. Your children will grow up and will mother like you.

    Someone once said, “The days are long but the years are short.” This is such a true statement. They grow up so incredibly fast and before we know it, we will witness them being moms and dads just like us. Yes, they will resemble you in so many ways. You are their model for what a mom looks like.

    What’s the surprise, you ask? I have decided to add one more spot to my birthday celebration weekend. If you would like to be the final person chosen to attend, please like or follow me on Instagram @_therealkathylee or like my page FB @The Real Kathy Lee.

    I hope you all have a fabulous Mother’s Day!

    Say YES and have a great week!!!
