Take Your
Kids to Mass
Without Losing Your
Sanity or Sanctity
Taking kids to Mass is hard.
Here are five things you can do
to make it a little easier. ⬇
The sacrifice of the Mass isn't supposed to be of your sanity.
Tired of splitting Mass with your spouse?
Bribing your kids with donuts?
Choking back tears because of judgy looks or comments?
This toolkit is for you. ⬇️
Remember those pre-children days when going to Mass was actually rejuvenating? You'd chat with the Lord, reflect on the readings, and enjoy the sanctifying silence.
Now? You're sure hoping God is watching, because now it's sanctifying in the "Please tell me this is getting me time off in Purgatory" kind of way.
Expectation
Waving hi to the Mary statue, reading from quiet books, people smiling at your kids' matching clothes, and a delightful “hi Jesus!” at the Consecration.
Reality
Almost knocking over the Mary statue, reading to the sound of kneelers clunking, struggling to keep kids clothed at all, and missing the Consecration entirely because you're headed to the bathroom. Oh, and lots of judgmental glares.
You've seen those "Your kids belong in Mass!" posts on Instagram and perhaps even devoured some how-to blog posts, scouring for the magic answer. Maybe you've even vented in a Facebook group and gotten some solidarity.
And while solidarity is nice, what you really need is sanity. And sainthood.
That's why I'm making the bold claim that this is the very last guide to taking your kids to Mass that you'll ever need.
Why? Because this guide is not going to change your kids' behavior. How's that for a sales pitch? 😂 But let's be honest, it's going to take a lot more than a PDF to suddenly transform your wild, rambunctious children into contemplative monks when they step into a church.
What it will do is give you strategies to cope with those wild, rambunctious children and actually feel refreshed at Mass again. You'll have patience to deal with your kids' inevitable antics and be equipped to teach them appropriate Mass behavior while growing their love for Jesus and feeding your own soul.

Hi, I'm Johanna 👋
I'm a Catholic wife and mom, a Licensed Professional Counselor and the creator of the only faith-based emotional regulation program, Interior Kingdom.
You might think that with all of those qualifications, my kids are perfect angels at Mass. 😇
They are not. At all.
But it's because of these strategies that I'm able to remain calm despite triggers like bulletin sword fights and "you know there's a cry room" comments.
And I'd love to teach you how to do the same, for free, because every child of God deserves to worship Him from a place of peace - especially weary parents like you.
Imagine leaving Mass feeling refreshed regardless of how your kids behaved.
Too good to be true? It's free, so the only thing you have to lose is that stressed-out feeling you get on Saturday nights when you realize what awaits you in the morning.

It's kind of like the whole "ask for patience, get opportunities" thing, except your kids provide the opportunities and I provide the practical crash course on how to not lose your mind.
