The holidays are a wonderful time to pause and reflect on what truly mattersâfamily, connection, and the joy of being together.
The strength of the family unit must come from within to withstand the external pressures and challenges we face today. When you know your family's goals, mission statement, and have a stable understanding of how it works, it removes doubts and uncertainties from within. My purpose is to empower you with the confidence and clarity to lead your family. With this certainty, youâll know immediately if outside information aligns with your familyâs values and visionâor if it doesnât.
As this season unfolds, I invite you to take a moment and ask yourself: What am I most grateful for in my family? Itâs a question that has the power to shift our perspective and deepen our appreciation for the small but meaningful moments we share.
Parenting Spotlight: Real Questions, Real Answers
Question:
"My child keeps getting burner phones from school. I have a gut feeling something is wrong, so I investigate and discover sheâs using them. We are against social media because sheâs made poor decisions in the past. She has a Bark phone with very limited apps. Suggestions on how to stop this burner phone issue? Iâm scared for her future. đ"
Answer:
It sounds like your daughter might be a teen (Iâm assuming here). Iâm not sure how sheâs getting burner phones from school, but this could be a good time to review the path sheâs on and evaluate the parenting decisions needed moving forward.
If trust has been broken on both sidesâhers for you and yours for herâtake a step back to assess whatâs most important. Is her current school environment sacrificing the relationship between you and your daughter? If so, it may be time to reprioritize.
This might include temporarily removing her access to a phone entirely, not as a punishment, but as part of a reset. I know this isnât an easy step, but itâs one worth considering. As a former high school teacher, principal, and mom of two adult children, I donât say this lightlyâbut you may want to explore pulling her from this school entirely if the environment is enabling behaviors that go against your values.
That said, these decisions are personal, and I can only offer guidance based on the information shared. Take some time to reflect on what you want for her future and how you can best guide her toward it. Trust your gutâyour instincts are there for a reason.

Have you ever second-guessed yourself as a parent? Itâs easy to feel pulled between intuition and the pressures of modern parenting. This week on the blog, Iâm sharing my own journey with a decision that changed my familyâs pathâand how it taught me to trust my instincts in raising my kids.
The Cost of Ignoring Your Instincts: How Modern Pressures Undermine Your Parenting
Every parent wants their child to have meaningful friendships and feel included. Itâs heartbreaking to think of them being left out, and itâs natural to want to help them navigate social groups. But as parents, we also face a tough balancing actâhow do we encourage our children to form healthy relationships while staying true to our familyâs values?
Add to that the pressure of electronic devices, social media, and video games, and the challenge grows. Many parents Iâve spoken to feel tornâshould they allow hours of gaming because itâs how their kids socialize? Or should they push for offline activities, even if it risks their child feeling left out?
The first question I would always ask is: What is my overall goal for my child?
Thank you for being part of the Unbreakable Family community. Your trust and support mean the world to me, and I'm so honored to share this jouney with you.
For Your Family's Success,
Sunny
