The Challenges and Wishes of Moms

 

I am incredibly grateful to all the moms who filled out the survey I requested last week!  Over 100 moms have responded, and more responses continue to come in!  I cannot even begin to share the amazing individual responses I received to the challenges you encounter, and the wishes you have, but I want to say that you are definitely not alone!  I thank you for your vulnerability and your willingness to be so honest with me, and these responses will be used to write very specific blog post articles on my new website that will be launching very soon!  When I say very soon, I would like to say hopefully the first week of September!  I and my team of designers and web developers are working very hard to get the new website ready for you.  I am positive you are going to love it because you have helped make this new site what it is!

So let me share with you the results of the survey that I can share...

I asked moms to please rank the top 5 greatest challenges in raising their children, with #1 being their greatest challenge.  Here are the results, with the most challenging listed first and the least challenging listed last.

#1  Embarrassing behaviors like whining, temper tantrums, won't listen, argues, or talks back

#2  Dealing with your child's anger

#3  Power Struggles

#4  Getting your children to do chores

#5  Sibling Rivalry

#6  Understanding and Managing their different personalities

#7  Homework Battles

#8  Problems with peers

I asked moms to rank the top 5 things they wish they had with they children, with #1 being the most important to them.  Here are the results, with #1 being what they wish for most, and #7 what they wish for least.

#1  I wish I had more patience with my children.

#2  I wish my children would listen to me.

#3  I wish I had more quality time to spend with my children.

#4  I wish my child had a better attitude.

#5  I wish my child had more motivation.

#6  I wish my child was more responsible.

#7  I wish I had a better connection with my child.

I will give you a big hint!  With the launch of our new website, your greatest wish moms is going to come true!  I can't wait to show you how!
