Realization of a balanced household

Young Persons Mentor-Uplifting Parenting

Our household is balanced when everyone realizes their role and carries out their duties.

We create the balance for our household as we create balance for ourselves.

We organize the support we need in order to manage the resources of our household.

We train our children to keep their space and the common space clean.

We teach them in tiny steps.

As they learn one tiny step, we teach them another tiny step.

We genuinely applaud their progress as they take on more and more responsibility for the resources in the household.

This creates an uplifting home community where everything is clean and organized.

It gives everyone a good feeling, which is expressed in calmness and harmony.

We manage the meals for our household in a balanced and orderly manner.

We make sure that we provide healthy and nutritious food.

This allows everyone’s body to remain calm and not experience agitation or discomfort.

Our meal planning, food sourcing, and preparation are a way of realizing a balanced household.

Kitchen cleanliness is part of a balanced household.

Every skill and the willingness to practice it creates balance in the household.
