What is a realistic first six-week plan for parenting?

I'm looking for a manageable first plan after a few attempts that didn't go as expected. What would you focus on over the next six weeks?

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. Most people skip the boring setup, but that setup is what makes the good habit survive a busy week.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better

Make the next step small enough to do today; momentum often answers half the question.
