The Parenting Journey
Parenting is an incredibly rich, deep and rewarding journey. It is a journey that opens the heart in new
ways, a journey that's ever changing, a journey of growth and discovery. Just as the pregnant mum's
belly begins to stretch and grow, a parent's emotions, self image and self understanding begin to
stretch and grow right from the beginning and most parents find that this journey of growth never really ends.
Parenting is easy when we're attuned to our child
Most parents think and hope from the beginning that their love and dedication to their child will lead
and guide them through each step of the journey and to a large extent that is true. When our heart is
open and we are attuned (in tune) with our child, incredible wisdom comes forth effortlessly and we
marvel in the joys of giving our child what it is that they need to thrive.
The challenges of parenting
However, the challenges of parenting, which are immense, also can bring forward huge feelings of
frustration, self doubt and confusion. The responsibility of this precious little person's life being in your
hands and the pressure to get it right can weigh heavily on parents and bring up many worries and fears, doubts and unanswered questions.
The demands of needing to give so much of our time, energy, focus and head space to our child when
there are also so many other places we need and want to focus our attention can
cause parents to feel incredibly torn and stressed.
Accessing heart centred information and support
If you are interested in gaining more information and support in the journey of identifying and healing some of the stronger and more difficult emotions that the extremely challenging job of parenting can bring up for you, you've come to the right place. We understand that the journey of becoming the best parent that you can be and want to be and the journey of personal development cannot be separated.
How can parents meet their own emotional needs?
For most parents, they just don't get enough emotional support along the way and yet can often feel like they're expected to perform at their best at all times despite their frustrations, restrictions, hurts and confusion. The approaches that we put forward on this site and through our courses, phone coaching and other resources are for parents who want to heal themselves, heal their child and heal their family. It's for parents who are looking deeper and further than just clever techniques to get their child to comply. It's for parents who want the systems in their family to be based on genuine respect and understanding from each member towards each other member of the family. Respect for your child's feelings and boundaries
If you're on the road to learning more about parenting, gaining new perspectives, learning good quality parenting tips and exploring attachment parenting, you've come to the right place. If you're interested in learning or developing parenting techniques that are based on positive communication skills, respect for your child's feelings and boundaries and generally parenting approaches that foster peace, trust, harmony and mutual co-operation in your family, again, you've come to the right place.
