Do you know how parents of toddlers often feel guilty because they can't concentrate 100% on their children or 100% on their work and they're frustrated because they feel like they don't know the best way to raise their kids and they feel like they never have enough time?
What I do is I help them eliminate the guilt, I help them find time and I help them feel fulfilled. Bottom line, they have a great, loving relationship with their family.
When a client finishes with me they are feeling happiness, gratitude and fulfillment.
My wife and I have raised three GREAT kids and we are so very proud of them!
Shaya's life mission is to inspire people to live in happiness and gratitude.

The One Simple Secret To Changing Your Parenting Mindset, Part One
I am now reading a new book written by Mark Victor Hansen (of Chicken Soup For The Soul fame) and Robert G Allen (of Nothing Down Real Estate fame) called Cash in a Flash. Their book has about 15 chapters, and the first 8 have almost nothing to do with making money. The first half of the book is about changing your mindset and how you think. They believe, and I completely concur, that most of being wealthy is between your ears, not in your bank account and wallet.

When the Kids Gang Up
I have good friends who have three kids that are very close in age. The other night I was over at their house and the parents, let’s call them Randi and Mason, were telling my wife and I that they feel like there is a mob mentality in the house. They felt that the kids gang up on them to get their way. I was a little taken aback.

Of course, in those families that forgot to get a present, the refrain is, “Every day is Mother's Day!” And every mother would like to believe that every day is Mother's Day. So how can we do that? What would that look like?r

Why We Should Teach Our Kids To Be Kind
Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. ~Plato I just read a fascinating article about some research about being kind. I had never really thought of it, but the authors make a good point that kindness is the “other side of the coin” of gratitude. In their words, they said “Whereas gratitude results when people receive kindness from other people, kindness entails enacting kind behavior toward other people.” Having said this, it is no surprise that kindness makes people happy since we already know that gratitude makes people happier.r
