What exactly is the Love+ Parenting Model? Well... first and foremost it is an approach to parenting guided by a set of principles such as love, trust and acceptance which allow you to customize steps that fit your authentic self, who your child is and what your family needs. Unlike other parenting books, programs or approaches, this is not a rigid model. It is customizable with you, the Parent, as the central and most important element. From there, You, the parent, decide on the steps, techniques, approaches based on what you know about yourself and your child. You then direct your child's experiences with others based on what You know works. This is not a cookie cutter program with a complicated set of steps because that would NEVER work for our families.

Dear Parents, When your computer goes into fight, flight, or freeze mode you have to scrap whatever you are doing and hit the refresh key. I pretend I have one of those in real life, when my kids and I are about to go into the same Triple-F cycle—fight, flight, or freeze. Here are some things you can do, too. Go fix a cup of fruity tea and dissolve some honey in it. That takes nearly 6 minutes from start to finish and the Zen mindfulness of making it causes your cortisol to retreat so you can think clearly again. Walk outside into the garden and do a little pinching, nipping, cutting, pulling, snipping, spading, harvesting. When you go back inside you will be re-acquainted with the harmony of the Earth. Really. Go take a shower and wash it all away. Get the emotional grime off of you. Nice soothing body wash is delightful when your nose if flared and full of bitter Triple-F hormones. Go to your bedroom and spritz or slap on a little of your favorite, maybe forgotten cologne, body spray, or perfume. You always did like that scent, right? Home can be just like a special occasion where you want to smell yummy, if you curate it that way. You get the picture. Refresh before the Triple-F cycle messes up your day with your child. Love matters, Ce Theme of the day: mindfulness smells better than the Three-Fs. P.S. The Love Matters Parenting Society is a year-long comprehensive parenting program that uses the Love+ Parenting Model designed by attachment and trauma specialist Ce Eshelman for parents of adopted children and children who have experienced trauma, abuse or attachment challenges.

When we Parents focus only on stopping bad behavior without looking at what is behind the behavior we are missing out on opportunities to help our children heal from the grief, recognize their feelings and build deeper relationships where we can trust each other on our bad days. Take a moment and consider all the things that your adopted child has been through and what they might feel they are missing and start from there to address the behaviors. I call them children from difficult beginnings for a reason! Because they have lived seen, forgotten, and survived things that children should not should ever experience. Check out the UnMuted Love with Ce Eshelman podcast on your favorite podcast service for more helpful and inspiring parenting stories for adoptive parents and parents of children from difficult beginnings. www.lovemattersparenting.com/podcast
