Do we find ourselves yelling at our kids more than we like?

Are we yelling and wanting our children to be calm?

Observational learning is the most effective way for children to learn.

Even as a clinician with insight and skill, I still get so flooded with emotions that I can’t think straight.

Literally the neural pathways for our thoughts of discerning the moment are not working. The neural pathways to emotions are much quicker.

So, that really leaves one simple answer: BREATHE

I preach this, I practice this, I preach this, I practice this; and eventually it becomes a habit.

Conclusion: The minute I start breathing, it helps them co-regulate!
Not to mention to regulate myself. Win-win. One kid was out the door regulated in about a minute, and the other one learned about regulating his emotions. Watch video to see how engaged in the conversation he is… Of course they are when it’s about us 😘

Conscious Parenting helps children to feel connected and listened to.
Sometimes what we say and what a child hears are two different things. So we want to keep positive with an awareness of our tone, to help the child stay regulated so they have an easier time listening. Here are some wonderful examples.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE !!!!!

Parents need a community to support their wellness. A community with all the C’s. Compassion, Connection, Confidence, and dare I say Conscious
!!
I’m honored to start bringing Wellness Wednesday’s to our Community in March via Zoom.

We are all going through major change right now, as the pandemic is accelerating the change and life making it inevitable; but I ask, are we all transcending and transforming????

We will learn the invaluable rewards that come from authenticity and transparency so we can manifest our greatest purpose, personally and professionally.

You are amazing and deserve the soul-care !!

A paradox out of the mouth of babes...
Me: The clouds are moving fast today.
My 4 year old: The clouds are moving fast but slow

Stop and breath for a moment 🙏
