We love fun competitions in our family. Competition is not all bad, it can feel motivation and desire, especially in my boys. My kids were ones little babies who are sore losers, but gosh I’m pleased with how they lose and win. As kids they didn’t want to play a game ever again so many times because they lost! Says every three or four year old, who is ever played a game and lost.😆 the one thing I did do is always sing during the game before anyone lost is… “Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose as long as you’re having fun!” They would join in and still get mad when they lost, but somewhere along the lines and must’ve sunken. They always watched me lose and 🤗 and 🖐️ and cheer on a winner, when I would lose
.
.
.
I notice now when they play board games and lose, or even cards with each other. A huge test of them being able to win well and lose well was Rohan in his gymnastics career getting first place all the time until one of his rivals begin beating him. Then he got second every time. Never a tear, only high-fives and smiles for his competitor. He didn’t dwell on it. It was just beautiful to see.
A little competition in life feels desire. Yes, it can be a slippery slope of selfishness, a desire to be great and forgot to say, “well done good and faithful servant,” Matthew 25:21. The Bible also says in first Corinthians quote… Love does not envy or boast. It is not arrogant or rude…“

We can raise children who are hungry, to serve their mission, while being kind and humble.

Good thing I want tho! 😂jkjkjk.

My eldest, Rohan, turned 15 a day after this video was made, and he sure has already beat me in many things. I’ll never forget when he first beat me in a foot race – yep, he’s faster!

How do your kids handle competition? Let me know if you need tips for being a humble winner, and a graceful loser. 👇

It is super satisfying to watch a chicken dust! But they don’t just do it for your pleasure. It’s for their health! Here’s how and why to make a very easy DIY chicken dust bath with three simple ingredients.

WHY they need it-
*Dust bathing cleans their feathers.
* helps control parasites
* prevents the feathers from becoming too oily.

Hens prefer dry and loose soil.

HOW-
1) find a suitable container. I’ve even seen pretty ones in stainless steel tubs, but you have to drain a hole, people also do them inside of tires
2) 1/3 dirt
3) 1/3 construction or all purpose sand
4) 1/3 diatomaceous earth - or a little less like I said

Mix and watch them explore and learn that it’s a perfect dusting bath. Enjoy chicken TV 📺 🐓

So good! Share for those friends that need to hear it’s ok! 💛 I don’t know this girl but I like her coaches advice. I use this for my athletes, but gosh, it is so good for parents as well! Can’t we just accept that we are going to have good, OK, and crappy days? That doesn’t mean we are crappy parents.It means we are human. 💯This exact ratio is not what is important. I would actually say mine is more 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 or something along those lines. However, It’s a generalization that gives you permission to have a crappy day and that is normal. 😊Make it a good day the next day.
.
I also love the part about the OK days. I think as athletes training and as parents we think we have good days and bad days, but what about just the run-of-the-mill, OK days. Those are all a part of it. Every day doesn’t have to be super fabulous! Sometimes we’re just in the grind parenting, schooling, feeding - OK kind of days. That was the most compelling part for me. 😉

So whether your day is good 👍 OK 👌🏽 or crappy 👎… in a healthy ratio - you are right, where you are supposed to be!
.
.

.
If you are way, more bad days or really low on the good days, it might be time to take a look at what you need to change. Could be a perspective, an attitude, taking a class, talking with a coach/ mentor etc. and figuring out how to get into a healthy ratio!
It is possible!

National Gymnastics Day,
Would it be ok to spend every NGD honoring you- doing headstands on a paddle board whilst on a House boat trip with family and friends? You deserve it.
p.s. Royce celebrated you with his first double back off the boat (last pic)! I leave the bid tricks to the kids. 😊 🤸 🛥️ #bestsportever #ioweyou #flippingfamily #worththework by @mindsetmama_

Fun to see these boys flip…also kinda annoying that he did gymnastics from age 5-10 and never again…yet , can do this crap. I trained over 20 hours a week until I was 22. 😁

That’s why gymnastics is a good base!

Our girl is 9…and made this video herself, so I guess she’s not a baby anymore? ☺️ She woke at sunrise 🌅 grinning ear to ear all day long getting free treats and enjoying a great day with her friends/family. 🌥️☀️🩷🍦🎂 by @mindsetmama_

Had to 😎 Gosh, I love my girl- she’s so CHIC and yet unique.
Yesterday she said to me, “I’m so glad I’m not one of those girls that scared of seaweed and spiders.” Agreed! That’s my lake girl. 🛶☀️

My heart is full. So thankful to be invited to work and play in Alaska.
Changed lives ☑️
Trained minds ☑️
Tightened technique ☑️
Hiked to 360 view of Alaska ☑️
Ate gourmet meals ☑️
Fished like a boss Alaskan☑️
Fell in the river -also ☑️
Saw brown bears ☑️
Saw Moose ☑️
Stood in Glacial run off water ☑️
Stayed up til 3am with light ☑️
Hung with my Alaskan family ☑️

…If you’ve thought about Alaska- do it! Fish the Salmon runs, do the hikes, see the wildlife, breathe the fresh air, experience the long or short days, go beyond Anchorage!

Or send your kids to gymnastics camp there and go along for the ride. Winter and summer dates available annually. @danalchscampofchampions

The first of the Prairie Winds series is wrapped! What an incredible experience for lil Sarai. They laughed, some cried, fought bugs, downpours, early mornings, late nights, games, crafting, dinners, coffee runs, bloopers and bonding. What a cast and crew. A family was formed.
