Welcome! Do you want to create a strong, loving relationship with your kids. You don’t have time to read all the books about brain science, child development and emotional literacy. You’ve heard that studies show punishments and rewards are not effective in the long term. You feel embarrassed and defeated when your kids "flip their lid" in a temper tantrum at the store.
I want to teach you how mistakes are wonderful opportunities to learn, and give you the skills to teach them.
Teaching Children to make good decisions in high-emotional situations.
Build Your Parenting Tool Box
I believe in the importance of strengthening parenting skills to build courageous and resilient Children. I strongly believe this is done by teaching parents the skills they need to build emotionally strong and confident children, though social emotional development. Having a positive impacts for generations to come.
I do this through mentoring parents to be there child’s best coach, teaching you how to empower them using encouragement not praise. These skills can be used with children starting from birth well on into teenage hood, because it’s neither too early nor too late. The work first start with building emotional literacy with in you the parent or special big person.
Here's the biggest tool you have as a parent is Empathy, to participate in the thoughts, feelings or ideas of another.
Tonight I was cleaning the kitchen, and my daughter was sensing my crabby energy while I was wiping down and taking it out on the stove and counter tops. She stated while watching me: "Mommy I know what you are..." I asked in a friendly tone sensing I had been busted by the four year old "What am I Honey?" She answered "Your beautiful, but why do you get tired and angry? Daddy said he loves me even when I am angry, so I love you too if you are angry." I smiled, picked her up hugged her, kissed her and said "YourOur
beautiful too, and I am not angry anymore. Sometimes Mommy is tired and doesn't know how she feels till someone asks or notices." observantfour year old girl snapped me instantly out of my crumby mood, as I hugged and kissed her celebrating her ability to recognize and vocalize so clearly the feeling words we have worked to teach her. Her observation helped me snap out of my cranky emotional state. The empathetic parenting techniques and tools with lots of repetition are paying off. The little eyes and ears are always watching and listening. Haawa to Nadine Jones for teaching me the tools to raise my children with compassion, empathy and the ability to communicate their feelings. Little did I know that now she is identifying my feelings too❤️💜
