Kelly Nault's Parenting Quotes and Quotes on Motherhood

These favorite parenting quotes and quotes on motherhood come from Kelly Nault's book, When You’re About To Go Off The Deep End, Don’t Take Your Kids With You and her various articles.

*************************************************************

"Whatever you do, remember that part of your job of being a parent, is working yourself out of a job! Doing a good job of parenting means helping your child to do for themselves what you once did for them." Kelly Nault 

*************************************************************
 
"Self Care for parents needs to be a necessity not a luxury." Kelly Nault 

*************************************************************

"Quality time away from your kids is as important as the quality time you have together." Kelly Nault 

*************************************************************
“The best thing you can do is for your kids is to give to yourself so you have a 'self' left to give to them." Kelly Nault
 
*************************************************************

"Unless there is something medically wrong with your child, I am convinced that all children can wake up on their own. The morning reminders, prodding and screaming that occur in households throughout the nation are a waste of valuable “Mom-ming” energy." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"When we say we are going to do something and then don’t, we are teaching our children that our words are not to be taken seriously—in effect, we are teaching our kids not to listen to us!" Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"Kids want to belong; they want to feel valued, they need to feel important to you. A sense of belonging is the fuel that gives our kids the strength and courage to go after their dreams, even at the risk of failing. Belonging is pure freedom, true unconditional love, and the greatest gift you can give to your child." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

When a child feels that they belong, they have the confidence to really show up, to contribute their unique gifts to the world, and to deal with whatever challenges life brings.

*************************************************************

"It is time for us to teach our children that part of being 'special' means helping others to succeed, rather than putting others down to prove our worth. This is creates a win for us all!" Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"There is nothing wrong with giving—in fact, it is one of the most rewarding aspects of life. Giving only becomes a problem when you are unwilling to receive from others and when you give out of habit, rather than from your heart." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"Paying your child for chores is a risky proposition, especially if they decide to go on strike and demand higher wages." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"You are the artist of your today and tomorrow. What you choose to create today impacts you, your children, your family, and your community. Any time you don’t like what is happening, you are free to create differently—to respond differently." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"There are millions of people to choose from in this world. Who we associate with can make our days, weeks, months, and years extraordinary or painfully ordinary." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************


"When you successfully help your children to respect  others, to belong, and to contribute they will eventually fire you from your current position in their life. The catch isyou want them to!" Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"When a Mother’s self-esteem becomes dependent upon pleasing everyone else, when she gives out of obligation, and says 'yes' before she thinks about how she is going to fit it in—she is headed for burnout '." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

  "By encouraging your children you can prevent the very misbehaviours that drive you mad." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************
"We’ve heard of generation X and generation Y but what we are currently doing is raising generation S—generation spoiled! For both our children’s sake and for mothers’ sanity this needs to change.” Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"Current disciplinary practices often only teach our kids to not get caught next time." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"It is always easier to control what you do, rather than what your child does." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"The key is to use discipline that motivates kids to want to do better next time." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"In order for children to do well in the school over the long term, they need to care about their homework  more than you do." Kelly Nault

*************************************************************

"The first major challenge when it comes to conflicts is that we are taught to win! And if there is a winner, there will always be a loser. The last thing we want is for our kids to feel like 'losers.'" Kelly Nault
