Decorating a nursery for the first time, redoing a kid’s room with a new theme, or wanting art added to your child’s bedroom? Motivational quotes are always the way to go. If you’re stuck with where to pull inspiration from, how about your kiddo’s favorite Disney characters? Disney-loving families will find the perfect motivational quotes for kids to help keep their focus on the positive side of things while leaning on them as room decor.

To remind your child it’s all about their attitude

A child is never too young to learn how to work out a problem on their own, and it’s never too early to help them have a positive attitude when working through an issue. These Disney characters have the right attitude.

“The only way to get what you want in this world is through hard work.” — Tiana (The Princess and the Frog)

“You control your destiny — you don’t need magic to do it. And there are no magical shortcuts to solving your problems.” — Merida (Brave)

To remind your kid they are the only one of them out there

We all think our child is the most precious creature alive. And while we are all correct, hang one of these quotes in their nursery or bedroom to remind them daily.

“Your identity is your most valuable possession. Protect it.” — Elastigirl (The Incredibles)

“I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.” — Alice (Alice in Wonderland)

To remind them that taking a risk is always worth it

From the first step to the first day of school to the first activity they want to sign up for, every risk your child takes is worth it. Most children love risk-taking anyway, so foster that fearlessness by hanging these quotes up around their room.

If only we all had the courage of a toddler about to jump off the back of the couch, right?

“If you focus on what you left behind, you will never be able to see what lies ahead.” — Gusteau (Ratatouille)

“Venture outside your comfort zone. The rewards are worth it.” — Rapunzel (Tangled)

“It’s up to you how far you’ll go. If you don’t try, you’ll never know.” — Merlin (The Sword in the Stone)

Whatever way you use the quotes is the perfect way to do it. For those who are less artsy, browsing a site for someone else to do the work is just fine. If you want your child to have handmade pieces, those craft stores are waiting for you to bring them to life. For the artistic parents, turn a whole wall into the quote’s theme, add some art from the movie, and center the whole room on it.

These quotes work for any age, any gender, any room theme, and any child. We all want our kids to be more confident and inspired than we were as kids, and having that special quote hanging up where they can see it every day is a good helper to get them there.

Do men get paternity leave? Here’s what you need to know
We know women take time off for having a baby, but do men get paternity leave?

When a woman finds out she is pregnant, part of the initial planning is figuring out maternity leave, from when it will start to how long it will be. While we immediately think of the time the mom will take off work for the baby, what about the dad? Do men get paternity leave? Here's what you need to understand about dads taking time off work for the birth of a child.
If men get paternity leave, here's how they can take it

There are a few options for the dad to take time off work for the birth of a baby, and it's all pretty similar to how a mother would take maternity leave. There are types of leave dads can't take since they aren't the ones having the medical procedure or going through the actual birth, but there are some workarounds.
Take FMLA
FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act) allows mothers, fathers, and non-birthing parents to take up to 12 weeks off work to care for a new child. The time off is unpaid, but your position will be there for you when you return. There are rules and stipulations to use FMLA depending on where you work and for how long, and you may not qualify to use it under certain conditions, so talk to your employer as soon as you find out your partner is pregnant to know your options. FMLA is amazing if you qualify, but please remember it is unpaid. 
Use your PTO and vacation time
Another way to take some time off (and still get paid for it) is to use your PTO and vacation time. The second you know your partner is pregnant, start saving up your time. Talk with your HR department to see how much time off you can stack together and see if they will work with you on how to best use your time. If you can't use it all at once, see about peppering days off throughout the week to get you down to only working one to three days a week so you can still be home quite a bit.
Use unpaid time
Another option is to talk to your HR department about unpaid time off. Depending on how long you have been with the company, you could be entitled to an extended unpaid leave or a sabbatical, or your work will let you take time off for certain things like a medical issue or the birth of a child. This is another unpaid way to take time off, so you need to plan appropriately.
