How to get your whole family involved in using parenting mantras

What are ten great parenting mantras to get you started?
Here are ten parenting mantras to get you started! Each one has a different meaning and can be helpful in different situations. Choose the ones that resonate with you, and recite them when you need some extra support.
“I am enough.”
This mantra is all about self-love and self-acceptance. When you feel like you’re not enough or that parenting is too hard, remind yourself that you ARE enough. You have everything it takes to be a great mom.
“Everything will work out in the end.”
This mantra is all about trusting the universe and knowing that things will eventually fall into place. If your child is having a tough time or you’re feeling stressed out, remind yourself that everything will work out in the end. Everything always does.
“This too shall pass.”
Parenting phases can be challenging, but they never last forever. So if your child is going through a particularly challenging phase – such as the terrible twos or teenage angst – remind yourself that it won’t last forever. This, too, shall pass.
“I am grateful for my children.”
It’s easy to focus on the negative when things are tough, but it’s important to remember everything you’re grateful for. So whenever you’re feeling down about parenting, please take a moment to appreciate your children and all they bring into your life.
“I am present.”
Parenting can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to get lost in your thoughts. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, take a deep breath and remind yourself to be present. Pay attention to the here and now, and focus on what’s important – your children.
“I am calm.”
Parenting can be chaotic, but it’s essential to stay calm amidst the chaos. So when things are getting overwhelming, take a few deep breaths and remind yourself that you are calm. You got this!
“I am patient.”
Parenting requires a lot of patience – especially when dealing with tantrums or potty training. Remind yourself to be patient when things are tough, and know that eventually, everything will work out.
“I am grateful for my parenting journey.”
It’s easy to focus on parenting challenges, but it’s important to remember all the good things too. So whenever you’re feeling down about parenting, take a moment to reflect on all the fantastic things you’ve learned.
“I am connected.”
Parenting can feel isolating at times, but it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. Other parents out there are going through the same thing as you. So when you need some support, reach out and connect with them.
“I am powerful.”
Parenting is hard work, but it’s also incredibly powerful. It takes a lot of strength and courage to raise children – remind yourself of this when you’re feeling overwhelmed. You are powerful, momma!
“I am loved.”
Parenting can be lonely at times, but it’s important to remember that you’re not alone. You are loved by your children, your partner, and the universe. So when things get tough, take a moment to reflect on all the love in your life.
“I am the perfect mom for my kids.”
Parenting is an ever-evolving journey, and you are the perfect mom for your kids. You have everything it takes to raise them into happy, healthy adults.
“My family is enough.”
Parenting is a lot of work, but it’s worth it because your family is everything. They are your world, and they are enough.
