Parenting From the Future

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/10/30

Today, I want to talk about something that every parent needs but many of us never take the time to create — a parenting vision. In my Virtue-Based Parenting Course, I teach you the four pillars of effective parenting: Leadership, Connection, Communication, and Formation in Virtue. These four pillars hold up the structure of our family life. But before we can build that structure, we need the blueprint — the vision of the kind of family we want to create and the adults we hope our...

How Children Learn - The Power of Your Example

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/10/09

Today I want to talk to you about the power of your example. Humans, and especially children, are observational learners. Children learn how to speak to each other, treat others, show affection (or not), forgive (or not) by watching us and by watching how we lead our children. They learn what values and morals to hold by noticing what is and isn’t important to us. They learn how to love God by watching us – not by doing religion from a book everyday. Children learn far more from watchin...

Limiting Beliefs for Our Children

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/10/02

Our job, as parents is to encourage growth in our children, rather than limit it because of judgments we have made. Children are constantly changing. Their identity isn’t defined by one struggle or weakness. Struggles are opportunities for growth, and our role is to guide our children in becoming holy, virtuous children and adults – not control their entire journey with judgments and limiting beliefs.

Letting Go of Limiting Beliefs

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/09/25

Limiting beliefs are thoughts or assumptions we hold that restrict us or others in our life from growing or living fully. They also cause us to predetermine how others will act without giving them the space to be different. They don’t just affect us personally, they also shape how we view our spouse and our children, how we interact with them, and how we generally show up in the world to our extended family and friends. I think there are 3 main areas where we could have limiting beliefs ·&nbs...

Embrace Your Mission

2025/09/18

The death of Charlie Kirk has caused many to stop and ask themselves, "How am I living my life?" What is your mission from God? How are you living it?

What Your Children Probably Won't Learn in School

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/08/19

As a former teacher and former homeschooler, I LOVE this time of year! Back to school means new notebooks, new uniforms, new challenges, and new joys. But there are a few very important lessons your children won't learn. Only you, as a parent, can teach your children how to truly love God, how to have faith, hope, and how to embrace virtues that define your child's character. Schools teach academics, and some really great schools can support you in teaching faith and values. But u...

Back to School List of Essentials

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/08/05

Many of you know that I was an elementary school teacher. I have taught every grade in public and private schools, and I homeschooled our 7 children. The schools ask the teachers to prepare a supply list for the parents each year of all the things their children will need in order to learn well. Crayons, glue sticks, notebooks, pencil box, markers, pencils, Kleenex and many other items. And while it’s important for your children to have the necessary supplies they need to complete their work,...

Helping Your Child Have a Good Self-Image [REPLAY]

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/07/29

What is self-image? How your child sees themselves and how they think others see them – what they think about themselves and what they tell themselves about what and who they are. A child with a poor self-image will often have low self-esteem. Low self-esteem is when a child lacks confidence about who they are and what they can do. A poor self-image contributes to low self-esteem which contributes to low self-confidence Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home...

How to Create a Family Culture [REPLAY]

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/07/22

There’s a basic human need of belonging that everyone possesses. A family culture gives that "sense of belonging" to each child. It is the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterize your family. It is the foundation of your family. A family culture doesn’t take away the individuality of people within the family, it simply characterizes what we work to have in common. Creating a shared vision or family culture bonds the parents and children as well as s...

When Being a Mom is Hard

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/07/08

So, let’s let’s go through some reasons why being a mom is hard. In this episode I talk about the specific areas that many moms find difficult, So, let’s be truthful about motherhood – it is hard sometimes because it requires constant giving of yourself — physically, emotionally, and mentally. Everything in life that is good and holy has hard times – sometimes the hard times seem more frequent than the easy times. But when we focus on WHY we're mothers, it makes it so much easier to acc...

Baby Joy That Lasts

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/06/26

The difficult, the monotony, the repetition is the sacrifice of motherhood. But it is ALWAYS in the sacrifice that we end up finding joy – if we’re looking for it. It’s when we sacrifice for another out of love, that we become a better person. We have a God-given mission as mothers – and as dads for those men listening. We are in partnership with God in conception and in raising our children. We are our children’s first teachers in everything! When we see our role in our child’s life as teach...

The Mother-in-Law / Daughter-in-Law Relationship

2025/06/19

The mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship has been the subject of jokes, sitcom shows, stereotypes and unfortunately, for some, painful moments in our lives.

Letting Go of the Need to Control

Do you also struggle with trying to control? Do you try to control your husband so you'll have a happier marriage? Do you try to control your children's misbehavior with punishments and consequences rather than teaching them how to behave? Here’s the truth - We can't control others – not our husband and not our children - but we can always control how we respond to them.

In this replay episode, I give you the steps to help your child listen to you the first time. Children need to be taught to listen.

How to Handle Backtalk from Your Child

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/05/29

It’s when a child responds to authority, usually a parent, in a rude, defiant, or disrespectful way. Now, back talk isn’t always about rebellion. It often comes from frustration, a need for control, or emotional overwhelm. And while it’s frustrating, it’s important to understand that it’s developmentally normal. Kids, especially early teens and teens, are learning to assert themselves. But just because it’s a normal developmental stage, doesn’t mean it’s okay. An...

What Kind of Adults Do You Want to Raise?

Finding Joy in Marriage & Motherhood, Janet Quinlan ·

2025/05/08

Without a clear destination with anything we do, our chances of a successful outcome is really limited. It's no different with parenting. As a parent, what’s the destination for your children? What kind of adult do you want your children to become? When we have a clear idea of the end goal, the day to day has more meaning because we understand that each interaction and behavior either contributes to the end goal or it doesn't.
