What Do People Have To Say About My Organization Course?

“The Balanced Home Course helped me to be the “professional organizer” for my family! Simple steps to follow, check lists, printable labels, suggestions and worksheets will keep you on track to successfully maintain your own balanced home.”

When I realized I had been overcomplicating the idea of organization, that simplifying was a key component, then things really started to fall into place!”

This is very hard for my husband. He couches both of my kids’ competitive soccer teams and it KILLS him when they are easy going about the competition part. I have no competitive gene so…it’s clearly my fault ;)
Anywho, the thing that has really helped him is that he joined an adult league. He gets to do all the physical stuff and be competitive in his own right and is easier on the kids. Our town has an amazing indoor complex that offers adult leagues of all levels. The kids and I really appreciate it ;)
Hi Amanda, yep, it is often much harder on dads, than mom’s. :) So glad that he has found a way to express his competitive nature instead of taking it out on the kids. Haha. Great suggestion!
Side note: They are building a brand new sports complex in our town, we can’t wait for it to be finished. Indoor swimming in the Winter is going to be awesome amongst all the snow that will fall.
* Coaches. He COACHES both kid’s teams.
Well said!!!!!
With 4 kids and my husband coaching every sport (except football–which we’re now enjoying from the sidelines–what a treat!) (I even helped with our club volleyball team), I think we’ve been thru it all. Our kids are mostly athletic but some stronger than others, and there are always different weaknesses and strengths. Yes, it’s a BLAST to watch them win, frustrating and hard to watch them lose and/or not play well, etc. I could write a book but really, I can sum it up by saying I learned early on to adopt the mantra: “It’s only a game.” This has worked to calm both of us down or cheer both of us up (well…a little!) many, many times.
This is such an honest post. Thank you.
I wish my parents can think like that!!
My 9 year old daughter is a level 3 competitive gymnast as was I all through school. But where I wanted to conquer every new trick and win, she is there for the social time. I have to constantly stop myself from pushing her to be more competitive. I don’t go to the practices anymore because I was trying to coach her when it wasn’t my job to do so.
Love this post and your honesty! I have three kids – one who is very driven, one who sounds like your son, and one that has a lot of talent, but loves everything and is there to have a good time. It can be frustrating, but somehow we make it through season after season. I feel your pain. When my oldest played soccer, I would take lollipops for my husband to suck on so he would have to be quiet – at least for a little while. :)
I am struggling with this on a smaller scale in that our 3 yo daughter has just entered a new school which is a Christian based school and we love it, although I am struggling to not compare my child behavior (or lack there of) with those of her classmates. She is a fireball, who we work hard not to fan the flame too much, but don’t want to put a wet blanket on her either. She thrives on being busy and not running with the rest of the group, she is a leader for sure. I feel that I am judged based on the behavior of my child. I watch these other kiddos who are very passive and look to the teacher to tell them what to do when my girly is an explorer. She has a healthy attention span, but I am embarrassed by the notion that she is so different than her peers; yet at the same time I am proud of it. It’s a process and we are working through it…she is only 3 I tell myself. :)
Also wanted to add: Sports…my husband played/plays team-oriented sports like football, basketball, soccer whereas I did sports that were more individualize based like golf, diving and karate. I was a part of a team, but my merits were really against me where my husband needed the team to win. This is playing a role in the types of activities we are looking into for our child…a combo of the two for her to see where she makes strides.
What fabulous advice. With 5 sons and a husband who coaches them in lots of sports, I”ll need to show this to him so we can both remember. Especially if one of them drops sports and turns to music or drama instead… which is what I keep suspecting will happen but my husband is in denial.
Love this advice! More parents should read this. I struggle in the opposite sense. I wasn’t into much at all, because I truly was not good enough to make the team and now I want my kids to do it all and be that shining star in everything. Realistically I really try to be very supportive in every effort made, and to keep in mind that as long as they enjoy it that’s what’s important. I struggle with that comparison bug all the time.
This post hit the nail on the head. We have been struggling with this the last few weeks as the parental learning curve has hit us hard with our son starting kindergarten and competitive soccer, at his own choosing. I didn’t even like soccer until his first game and now I am getting all bent out of shape because he isn’t trying most of the time and would prefer to stop and do the chugga chugga dance to the train that rolls through halfway through the game! I keep trying to tell myself “HE IS ONLY 5!” but it’s so hard to let go. Thanks for this post!
I. LOVE. THIS.
Very well said! I want more people to read this – and the other comments! Great discussion happening here.
Thanks for putting this out there!
Heather always shares such great advice! I am so glad you loved it! I agree with you!
