Parenting circle coming soon...
Exploring your own parenting style with less reactivity and more choice
Many of us would like to be able to have power with our children instead of power over, and to have collaboration instead of imposing obedience. A key to this is being relational, providing information about what's going on for us so that together we can adjust to the impacts that we are having on one another. Having this information creates more opportunity for us each to be coming from a place of wanting to make life more wonderful for each other.
A key to this is self empathy. The explorations in our circle are about enabling us to more quickly and automatically go to self empathy. We will be paying attention to what stimulates us and explore how to sit with the discomfort that gets stimulated. We give things the chance to emerge organically and get explored and processed, so that eventually you can meet these stimuli by responding skillfully rather than letting the discomfort unduly influence you.
We'll be exploring
- habits and conditioning that influence how you parent
- how to have more choice about responses vs. reactions
- how to integrate ideas into your parenting style, making them your own and incorporating them into what you actually do
Join us for a four week introductory session (with option to continue) that takes place over Zoom.
