MOM NEEDS A BREAK

FWR Says:  DEAR MOM - TAKE A BREATH

 

The Old Family Story

• Dad too busy at work
• No energy at home for the kids
• Little boys missed guy time with Dad
• Little girls missed their time with Dad

The New Story is Very Different

• Mom works at work, home, marriage - tries to run too fast
• When Mom’s strung out, the family is strung out
• Shift work doesn’t work for kids who need continuity
• The kids are left with more freedom than they can handle

Overstressed Parents Are Trying to Raise Kids

• Community kid culture brings questionable values
• Police patroling schools – just like the street
• Churches are losing their grip on family life
• Business and governments peddle their products and programs

What About the Family?

• Needs to regroup, get a grip and take control of family life
• Needs to regain focus on the big job - raising kids
• Shift priorities from goodies to wellness
• Kids need to hear and feel parent values and beliefs

What About Mom?

• Take a breath and put family first
• Dad and kids need to do their full share – family and money
• Mom needs to discover her new role in a working family
• Time for Mom is a new family job
