🛑 [START HERE] : DON'T SKIP | READ TO THE END! 🛑
Welcome to The Parent S.P.O.T. where parents have the shared goal- to be HEALTHY, HEALED, AND HAPPY and raise emotionally healthy, healed, and happy children. The S.P.O.T stands for Strategies, Progress, Opportunities, Transformation. That is what this spot is about. Listen, we all know that parenting ain't for the faint of heart. If you are here, you have been a parent for a while now. You aren't new to this, you are true to this. But you may be new to being a middle school parent or a teen parent. That's when it gets real spicy 🔥🔥 People have different opinions, beliefs, and ideas. Keep the goal in mind. We want to evolve from what isn't serving us as parents. We want to level up in all areas, most importantly parenting. We want to break generational parenting curses. We want to minimize burn out while still being active parents. We want to raise emotionally healthy children who don't need to drop a bag on therapy to heal from their upbringing. We want to raise self-sufficient kids who make good choices and grow up to be successful and happy. We want...we want...we want... As parents of tween and teens, we know that we don't have that much time left before our influence will diminish. Our children will be off into the world soon. So we wonder: are we doing enough, teaching enough, modeling enough? Are we enough? Sometimes these things keep us up at night, so we seek and search for answers, for validation, for just a listening ear. The S.P.O.T is here for you...for us. But in order to chill at this spot, there are some rules of engagement. Please adhere to these rules, so this space can be all that (and a bag of chips 😂) and more for parents. (See rules below.) We hit the goals that we set out to achieve which is why we are called the "Healthy Hittas." I mean we could be called "Healthy, Healed and Happy Hittas" but that's way too long. How about "3H3 Hittas"? No? Okay, we'll stick to "Healthy Hittas". But just to let you know my education consulting business is called 3H3 which stands for Healthy, Healed, and Happy. Fun fact, 33 means master teacher, hence the name 3H3. Any way, let me stay focused...more on that later.

Day 3 of 75 Hard
Where are y’all from? Is it freezing cold right now? Well up here in Massachusetts, it’s freezing 🥶🥶 One of the 45 min workouts must be outdoors for the 75 hard challenge. My student said “please don’t workout outside today, your sweat will freeze” 😂😂 I told her I would have to start over if I miss a day. She said why no one would know. I said yea but I would know. I made a commitment to do the hard (not the medium or soft) which means no variations, so I want to stick to it. After all, my word of the year is GRIT 😩 But when I got home, I really really didn’t want to go back out. I asked my son if jumping rope with the door open would be cheating😩😂 he said ummm 🧐 yea. So I layered up and went outside to jump rope which didn’t work very well because of the wind. I wanted to be like oh well at least I tried and dash back in the house, but I fought against my mind and just went walking. How many times do we not do things because of the inconvenience or because of imperfect conditions? I had to remind myself that this challenge is about pushing past my limits- mental toughness. I absolutely hate the cold, so I was super proud of myself for pushing through and honoring my commitment to myself💪🏾 What have you done recently to make yourself proud?

Letting your child cuss
I can no longer ask my middle school students do they use that type of language in front of their parents because more often than not the answer is yes 🤦🏽‍♀️ Now I tell them just because it is acceptable in your household, does not mean it is acceptable in here. Im not going to swear around you or at you, and I expect the same. Yesterday, a boy called a girl a b*tch and told me his mom wouldn’t care if he were defending himself. I said defending yourself from what? According to him, the girl said what do you want in a loud tone that was rude 😩 We had a reminder about appropriate responses to rude behavior and appropriate classroom language (I went over forbidden classroom words in the beginning of the year). A lot of parents in various parenting groups say they allow their child to curse. I personally don’t understand it. Kids are always going to test boundaries, but if they don’t have any at home with their own family and siblings, it makes it harder for their teachers to enforce boundaries. They feel they should be able to say whatever to other students who annoy them because they get away with saying whatever to their siblings whether it’s cussing or being downright mean. Many don’t believe that having a foul filthy mouth in the classroom is disrespectful. They say it’s just words, but let them even think you as the teacher uttered a cuss, they have a heart attack. I remind them that dumb, stupid, retarded, etc are just words, and I don’t allow them to call each other that either. I know times are changing and all, but basic respect should still be taught and expected. What are your thoughts?
