Chores/responsibilities
I don’t give my 5 year old daughter a lot of chores. But her main responsibility is doing her laundry. I assist her with all the steps involved in doing laundry. But she absolutely refuses to fold her clothes. Is 5 too young for her to be learning to fold her clothes? I have always thought that kids shouldn’t start laundry until about 8 or so but I was influenced by another to have her start. She always complains about how I’m always folding clothes and I always respond with, “would you like to help? That way it won’t take me as long?”

Without having more info, it's difficult to assess the situation and give a "fair" answer, but it sounds like she's asking for a closer connection with you that involves one on one time with nothing else in the way. Also, developmentally speaking, 5 year old brains are not equipped yet to handle a lot of responsibilities. The fact that she's washing and drying means she's learning, but pushing her too hard to do something she's telling you she's not ready to do may result in two things. One, create a rift between you. A disconnect which could hinder the relationship both now and later. Two, affect her internal voice and her own view of herself negatively. "If it means that much to Mommy, but I don't want to do it, that must mean there's something wrong with me." The goal is to ask "what is her behavior trying to communicate to me?" And then work with her where she's at. Finally, it's okay to take other people's opinions into consideration, but at the end of the day, they aren't living your life. You are. I would listen to my daughter. Hope that helps. 😊💖

I listened to this for the second time, this morning as I lay in bed and correct myself. "I should get up and get that X-ray I'm supposed to go get. . . I WANT to lay in bed though. This is the first morning I have not had to get up and go to work and this is the last morning I'll have to myself until next Saturday when the kids go to their dad's house... I WANT to enjoy this. " ☺️

Happy Friday! Enjoy this replay in place of our weekly workshop - stay tuned for next Friday’s topic!
This workshop was FIRE. We dove into the surprising FIRST step to CHANGING any relationship from the path to disconnection and destruction to move it to a path toward freedom, joy, generosity and purpose. You can become the SAFE PERSON for anyone in your life - YOU get to GROW - and that will have a ripple effect that will shock you - THEY WILL GROW TOO... even if right now there is stonewalling gaslighting distance harassment blame attitude or any other craziness going on. This is mind blowing to me, every time. We are women applying God's principles for relationship and leadership to everyday interactions to WATCH HIM MOVE.... He is ready and waiting. Are you? LET'S GO! ENJOY!!!
