Parenting was SO MUCH easier when I was raising my non-existent child hypothetically.  Do you feel me? Do you ever feel like you are doing everything wrong and wonder if you are doing anything right? Parenting can be a tough task to take on.  We have to make decisions day in and day out in hopes that they are the best choices for our little ones. Sometimes it just feels like a lot of pressure. As parents we have a lot to figure out.  We have to decide what rules, guidelines, and boundaries work for our family.  Sometimes it seems as though there is this invisible standard that we have to reach. There seems to  to make sure that we've achieved "good parent" status.  We are here to remind you that you are doing a great job.  Don't wear yourself out by being hard on yourself-especially with the upcoming Holidays.  Make sure you take time during these coming weeks to just be present with your children and enjoy quality time because that is really what they need. Be easy on yourself and help your kids learn about kindness. That is GOOD PARENT STATUS.  -JESSI WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ONLINE MUSIC LESSONS "Music and arts are being left behind in most schools' curriculums due to lack of funding, but these important subjects have been known to have lasting effects on children.  Significant studies have been conducted to test the correlation between music education, certain brain functions, and skills.
