Does Gentle Parenting Work? |
February, 2014 | |
Hello ,
 |
Most parents these days don't want to be authoritarian, and they don't want to be permissive.
Unfortunately, since most of us didn't have a strong example of what The Other Way looks like - in practice - we sometimes |
|

|
|
flounder when all of our firm-but-gentleness and consistent respect are met by Resistance (despite our gentle requests!), Selfishness (despite our abundant sharing!), Anger (despite our best intentions!), Mean Words (even though We Don't Call Names in Our Family!), Ingratitude (despite our giving, giving, and more giving) or a myriad of other Things Kids Do When They Are Growing Up.
Many parents who call me up for coaching say things like, "He was fine until he turned...(3 1/2 or 5 or 12)." Most children, at some point, will experiment with behaviours that you don't like. Some will start experimenting early, and challenge you all through the years. Others will throw you a wild curve ball somewhere along the way.
In joy,
Lisa Kathleen

Why Women's Wellness Circles?
"I am looking forward to further Wellness Circle gatherings! The first gathering was very enlightening for me and I had some very strong takeaways - something that I didn't expect so early in the journey."
