Parenting can be hard. Yes it can. No one said it was going to be easy though, and if they did… they were lying.

Life Hacks for Parents

1. Schedules and Routines

I know this doesn’t sound exciting but implementing a routine and schedule for yourself and your kids is a great way to add some predictability in your lives. If your children can predict the basics of the day, it makes life a whole lot easier.

2. Preparations and Organization

If you know that there is a certain stressful time of the day, prepare yourself for it by being organized. For us, Mornings are the hardest so we use some life hacks for Parents to make our mornings easier! 

3. Behavior Rewards

It is very important to acknowledge good behavior. Find something that works for you! We use a marble jar as incentive with a chart that shows what each activity is worth in terms of marbles and they can cash them out for things like 1/2 an hour of TV or larger items at the end of the month like Dinner out etc. The kids love it, and they also love earning marbles doing chores. If they misbehave and make Mommy lose her marbles, they lose some of theirs too. 

These are our Top 3 Favorite Life Hacks for Parents! We have found that implementing these tips has made our lives as parents easier and our children happier!
