🗣️Live communication series starts soon.
|
Reader, “If we spoke to our friends or partners the way we sometimes speak to our children, we might not be friends for very long.” I wrote that when my daughter was little, and it still stands today, 15 years later. It also doesn’t sit easy with me because I know how I’ve sounded on hard days. And I know I wouldn't speak to a friend (or even a stranger) that way. 🌱 Oooh, but parenting through stress or trauma is different. It touches the parts of us that are still hurting (and healing). Our kids don’t have the power to leave. When our nervous systems are activated, good intentions aren’t enough. Stress changes how we all experience language, tone, and power. So no, I'm not aiming to be “gentle.” I'm just trying to be present. 💡Conscious parenting was never about teaching my child to "listen" (and it wasn't easy, but it was absolutely worth it!). At some point, I needed to choose: power or influence. I wanted my influence (not control) to last into the teen years and beyond. I didn't want to give in OR punish mistakes. So I had to pay attention to how I was showing up and responding. It was my wake-up call. And why I’m hosting a live, three-week series to help you see beyond "just comply" language to instill self-discipline and teach real communication skills. Most of us were taught to communicate in ways that feel logical, but communicate pressure. So, this live series is for anyone realizing that the habits we were taught:
— often make things worse for kids who are sensitive, neurodivergent, traumatized, or wired to resist pressure. If you’re already part of my community, through a yearly membership or one of our core courses, your access is included.This series is here to support and deepen what you’re practicing, not charge you again for it.

If you’re already in, I’m glad we’ll be doing this together. If you’re considering joining, I'd love to share what I did differently over the last 20 years to have the relationship with my child I always wanted. Talk soon. Remember, conscious — not perfect. Warmly, p.s. You don't have to become a "different" parent. I'll help you interrupt the communication patterns that don't serve your relationship. |
