It is no secret that parents and families are struggling today. Many people enter into parenthood without ever having a clear picture of what it means to be a good parent displayed to them by their own mother or father.

3 Reality Checks About Wise Motherhood [One Minute Feature]

Because of this, it can be a struggle for young parents to get their footing and create a stable home for their children. So, let’s get back to the basics and consider three reality checks concerning wise motherhood.

How Wise Motherhood Means Prioritizing The Needs of Your Kids

I want to give a shout-out and a dose of reality to moms and the rest of the world. For moms with small kids at home, do not let anyone marginalize you for choosing to be a full-time domestic engineer. One of the many reasons society is so screwed-up today is that we have tampered with God’s eco-system.

One of the many ways we have done this is by imposing impossible expectations on moms. In light of this, here are three reality checks about mothers:

  1. Reality Check #1: You can’t have it all! Either your kids or your career will suffer if you try to. It’s just a matter of degree.
  2. Reality Check #2: Be married to your child’s father.
  3. Reality Check #3: I’m a dad, but I can proudly and humbly say that I could never nurture my kids the way their mother can.

"It is such a wonderful, God inspired thing you have done to help all of these children. I think people would love to read your book and learn more. You have helped changed so many lives, people will want to realize & learn about the work you are doing. It is so important." - Doris Newcomb, WFAX
"When I met the kids (at SHA), and saw the glow of transformation on their faces, it spoke to me that Shepherd's Hill Academy was more than 'Just what the doctor ordered.' It is a holistic, spiritual and therapeutic approach to healing that provides an atmosphere for learning and a proving ground for the uncompromising time-tested truths of scripture." - John Rosemond, American Columnist
