Returning to the practice

What Positive Discipline is to me….

  • Belong significance
  • Iceberg
  • Encouragement
  • Kind and firm
  • Presence/seeing/listening

 What I have learned over time

  • My own beliefs get in the way
  • Fear manifests as control and rigidity
  • Trust is the theme of my life

What it means to have a practice

  • Taking care of me
  • Exploring worthiness
  • Developing intention
  • Modeling what I want
  • Returning to the basics
  • Check assumptions
  • Read and learn about development!
  • What speaks to you???
  • So many people and programs…. What/who makes sense to you? Where do you feel seen?

Things to keep in mind

  • There is no perfect
  • Spirituality/energetics matter – this is bigger than me
  • Its messy, not formulaic
  • Blame serves no one
  • There is no end point
  • Finding a sense of peace inside of the chaos is life goals
  • Comparing is not useful – ever

You are the parent your child picked, not because you are perfect, but because you are you. Parenting is an opportunity to heal old wounds, to mend relationships, and grow as an individual, if you let it be
