“The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving.”
-Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809 – 1894)
Jenny’s Take: “Is it too late?” We get asked that question on a regular basis, and the answer is always another question. Too late for what? Too late to raise the perfect child? There’s no such thing? Too late to make a difference? Never.
All of us have made mistakes. Some of us are still stuck waist deep in them and can’t seem to find the way out. The first step is to relax, and take a good, long look at where you are without feeling shame or guilt. Then do some thinking about where it is you want to go with your family. Move in that direction, one small step at a time, and you will see for yourself that it is never, ever too late to become a stronger person.

The Confident Mom’s Take: I get this question all the time too! I get frantic and frustrated moms emailing me asking me if they are too late to make a difference, to change the dynamics in their home – ABSOLUTELY NOT! Does God ever give up on us? You can always make a difference to your family, to your children to their future and even better – future generations! When you change the pattern in your home now, it is contagious and will go on and on!
The change starts with you and once you decide that you are finally tired of the yelling, exhausted from the nagging and not enjoying your kids like you once did – I can help you succeed down a much more productive road of parenting!
