0:00.0	Early on, I had to learn to adjust my expectations on what I thought parenting was going to look like and how I thought I was going to be as a mom.
0:07.2	I like to separate out what I can and can't control and focus on the things I can control.
0:13.7	I just keep my words small and I focus on one thing at one time.
0:17.5	It helps them process what I'm asking of them, and it keeps us calm.
0:21.1	The idea that work is valuable and that we all contribute to the family is really important.
