The first 7 years of a child’s life are so important in their human development.
Our kids’ brains are like sponges, Dr. Maria Montessori called it an absorbent mind.
Our children are like little Zen beings, literally becoming the human they are going to become due to the physical and emotional environment of the home and/or school.
The following 7 years are also very formative in the child developing beliefs, forming their personality, and learning life skills and characteristics for good moral character.
Many of us are not taught how to be a good parent. What do our children need to thrive?
Some of us are lucky enough to have had “good” parents and feel that unconditional love and support. But many of us are thinking…
"What do we say to our kids so we don’t mess them up?"
"Am I a bad parent because I yell at my kids sometime (they never listen the first time)?"
"Why does this feel so hard sometimes?"
I am on a mission to empower parents (and educators) to be the Best Human Being they can be so they can be the best role model for their children (and students).
We are our child’s first and most influential teacher. How are you BEING?
I think we should ask that more than, “How are you doing?”.
It’s not about the To Do lists, it’s not about the chore charts, it’s not about the tidy or messy home, it’s about WHO you are BEING. HOW you are FEELING.
Your energy.
Your words.
Your thoughts.
Your feelings.
Your actions.
It’s not just what we say to our kids, it’s how we say it, our tone of voice, our non-verbal cues, and THEN what our child is then saying to themselves.
Are they saying, “I’m a bad kid, what’s wrong with me?” or are they feeling encouraged, “I made a mistake, next time I will…..”
This is tricky because our children (and spouses) know how to push our buttons and we can feel so TRIGGERED in the moment of conflict or transition!
That primal feeling, that feeling that doesn’t feel good, is usually due to a limiting belief, a thought in our head, that we are not even aware of (one that we may have formed during childhood) and it’s affecting our relationships and our state of BEING.
Many of us don’t realize that we actually can take control of those thoughts and shift our limiting beliefs to a more empowered thought that eventually can become a new decision and eventually see positive change in our lives and more connection in our relationships.
It’s our beliefs or thoughts ABOUT our life, relationships, career, purpose, children etc. that we need to have control over and need to be more intentional about.
I help parents and educators to gain awareness of who they are BEING and learn mindset tools and effective discipline strategies to gain confidence in this role of PARENT (no one ever taught us these things) and more connection in all of our relationships.
Our relationship with ourselves,
Our relationship with our parenting partner and
Our relationship with our children
For more peaceful and happy homes.
So, how are you? How are you feeling? How do you want to feel?
How are you being in this world? Who do you want to become?
I am here to help you to become the best human BEING you can become. Let's GO!
