My Intentions
To reawaken parents’ belief in themselves as their children’s best bet.
When we expand our understanding of child development and keep our focus on deepening the relationship we share, we find our balance and begin to parent more consciously using the wisdom of both the head and the heart.
It is my hope that what I share will support caring adults to connect developmental science with the mindful practices of conscious parenting. Knowing that joyful parenting is a journey of both the head and the heart, my emphasis is on supporting parents to bring their childrearing practices into alignment with their heartfelt intentions. When we expand our understanding of child development and keep our focus on deepening the relationship we share, we find our balance and begin to parent more consciously using the wisdom of both the head and the heart.
My intentions are:
- To inspire parents to reconnect parents with their inner wisdom.
- To validate ‘inner knowing’ with the support of developmental science.
- To dispel common myths and misinformation surrounding children’s emotional needs and their developmental growth.
- To ease parental guilt and worry by putting common parenting concerns into developmental perspective.
- To keep the focus on nurturing a deep long-term relationship rather than sabotaging it by demanding short-term behavioural compliance.
- To shift parent’s perception in how they see and interpret children’s behaviour.
- To distinguish the difference between the ‘new normal’ and what is in fact, developmentally appropriate natural behaviour.
- To bring parental expectations of their children’s behaviour back into line with their children’s current developmental ability
- To provide useful, practical suggestions that support healthy emotional. development in the long term.
- To empower parents to trust in and value relationship ahead of ‘good’ behaviour.
- To guide parents towards becoming more mindful of their words and actions when interacting with their children.
- To gently nudge parents to become more conscious of their own thoughts, deep-rooted beliefs and behaviour so as to foster an awareness around their influence on the parent-child relationship.
- To encourage parents to take responsibility for the energy they bring to the relationship they have with their children.
- To assist parents to gently guide their children.
- To support parents to respond kindly and confidently to their children in even the most trying circumstances.
- To provide a safe space for open and honest communication where parents share their trials, tribulations, joys and successes.
- To create a tribe where like-minded parents feel a sense of belonging and support.
- To reawaken parents’ belief in themselves as their children’s best bet.
