A child's brain thrives on love, connection and empathy. Being a parent who is present, who is self-aware, who has shifted from old, fear-based parenting methods to new ones that promote trust, stability, self-esteem, communication and responsibility is not only the greatest gift you can give to your children, it is also the greatest gift you can give to yourself.
Today’s children have inherited a life that is very different from the lives most of us have known. We live in the Information Age with ever increasing advances in technology that affects all aspects of our lives. As parents, we need to prepare our children to be aware, adaptable, to think for themselves with confidence, to learn how to effectively communicate, problem solve, and experience their true potential. It is of utmost importance for today's children to have a positive sense of self.
In order to teach our children and be the role models they need, we must first take a look at ourselves. The more you understand yourself, the better you will understand your children. If you want a great relationship with your children, the first step is to work on yourself. As a result, you will see your family dynamic take on a whole new positive direction.
It is helpful to ask ourselves, "What is my approach to raising children? What behaviors am I modeling? How am I communicating? How am I listening? How do I talk to my children about sensitive subjects? What does discipline mean? How do I define success or failure? How do I resolve family conflicts? " These are a sampling of questions the Conscious Parenting approach helps you explore.
Conscious Parenting is a proven method for raising today's children successfully. It is not a set of rules but rather a set of beliefs or a shift in perspective about what children need to develop and thrive. It teaches emotionally intelligent discipline rather than shame-based, punitive methods. It shows us how to "respond" rather than "react", how to set limits and talk to children without using blame, judgement or guilt, how to deal with common behavior challenges, how to resolve conflict without yelling or using threats. Parents quickly learn the difference between habits of communication that encourage defiance and effective communication that encourages cooperation and healthy limits.
Whether parents chose to work with me privately or in a group setting, they will develop the resources they need to have a happy, healthy and balanced family life.
