Parenting Our Future

Hey there Mamas!  I see you, I feel you and I understand your struggle.  It’s my mission to help you drop the mom guilt, stop feeling overwhelmed, embrace your body, let go the ridiculous expectations you have, release shame and all the “shoulds” you have for yourself!!

Join my guest, Amy Griffith, and I talk about how to surrender to YOUR UNIQUE journey of motherhood!  Learn how to embrace the mess, ask for help (and not try to do everything!!) and take things one moment at a time.

Our Children, at their core, need safety and protection to grow.  As Parents, we need to construct a scaffolding of support around a child within which they can learn and explore the world and what it means to be in relationship with others. 

There are a number of ways parents can create this scaffolding around a child.  This is done through daily routines, limits, connected communication and empathy.  One of the most important foundational elements is values.

Values are so important because when you clearly determine your values, you can set up your limits/boundaries for your kids.  limits are much easier for kids to ‘buy into’ because they are attached to a value that everyone in the family holds.

Learn how to set up your values and limits and how to peacefully set them for your family!

From the Podcast:

What is the difference between a rule and a limit you ask!? 

Limits are carefully and consciously planned with family values in mind.  They are rooted in an understanding of developmentally appropriate expectations of the child’s development.

Limits are NOT, demands coming from an expectation of complete obedience, but are a process of teaching and support.  Limits emerge from the parent’s fundamental responsibility to keep children safe, to teach them the skills of being in social relationships and to teach them the values of the family.

Both rules and boundaries can prevent misbehavior, but with rules, the payoff to children for compliance is simply avoiding a negative consequence or punishment, not because they...

Our Children, at their core, need safety and protection to grow.  As Parents, we need to construct a scaffolding of support around a child within which they can learn and explore the world and what it means to be in relationship with others.

Our education system is changing in ways we might never have predicted.  Most parents value education as one of their top priorities, and for good reason!  We want our kids to succeed in school so they can grow to be intelligent adults with good jobs.  BUT, what if they are struggling in school?  Do you know you can choose a new education path for them?  We all want our kids to get a good education and be successful in school BUT not every school fits your child’s unique needs and abilities. 

Is your child gifted?  Does your child have learning disabilities?  Is the school your child in just, not a good fit? Do you know you have a choice and the right to choose a school that fits your child? Are you aware of the many options that are available?  This may seem like an exciting concept but also daunting because where do you start? In this episode, Andrew Campanella, the President of National School Choice Week in The United States, talks about how and when parents can look for alternatives for their kids based on their needs and where to start.

Why should you care?  The fact is that if kids are unhappy in school, even if the school is considered a good school, it can lead to higher rates of dropouts and for students that drop out, this affects their confidence and self-esteem.  Studies show that students who dropout are at higher risk of incarceration, will earn less over their lifetime and have shorter lifespans. This episode is of great value to every parent with school-aged children, no matter where you live!

From the Podcast:

When you are in a “low vibe” state and feel like you are dwelling in a place of lack and triggered, follow these steps. 

What am I feel in and what is the story I’m telling myself? Is it true? How is this working for me?

As I see this situation, am I aligned with lack/fear or abundance/love. Think of a sliding scale where zero is lack/fear and ten is abundance/love.

What old worn-out pattern or habit-based in lack is being presented to me for clearing?

What is the new action coming from the energy of love and abundance. If you had no fear, how would you show up?

All parents hate it when they are ignored!  We can’t stand repeating requests that fall on deaf ears!  Being ignored and unheard leads to frustration, resentment, anger and yelling! 

There is a way to stop repeating and start getting cooperation and I share that in this episode.

I also talk about the power of listening to your kids and how it’s a GAME CHANGER in your relationships with your kids and all the other people in your life!

From the Podcast:

When we deeply listen to our kids, they feel loved & loveable and that what they have to say is of value to us (even if we might not be interested in the topic).  We want them to know that their thoughts and ideas matter!

Steps to listening:

1. Listen with your whole mind and body. Be in the moment with them.
2. Listen for understanding without judgement or criticism.
3. Listen without formulating your answer before they are done speaking.
4. Repeat back what you heard them say!

 

Steps to getting your kids to listen

1. Connect – go to them and get their attention by giving them a ‘lovie’ – tap them on the shoulder, or rub their back, for example.
2. When you have their attention, make your request
3. If you get resistance, clarify if you can wait or if they have to do it now - try to model cooperation here and create a win/win
4. Take them – “Come on, let's go together!”
5. Give them any help they need in the spirit of being supportive! Don’t push your kids to do things before they are...
