There’s a big difference between “obedience” and “cooperation.”
Obedience demands compliance — often through fear.
Cooperation is learned through trust, connection, and mutual respect.

Strong-willed kids don’t need to be controlled — they need to be guided. When we meet them with understanding, we teach them how to use their strength for good, not just how to avoid getting in trouble. 💚

There is a mystic truth here: what matters most cannot be measured or seen. Love, trust, kindness, wonder—these are not visible, yet they shape everything we are. 🌿

Children often remind us of this. They feel the invisible currents of connection long before they can name them. They notice presence more than perfection, warmth more than words.

Perhaps wisdom is learning to see with the heart, not just the eyes. To recognize that the most essential gifts—love, joy, belonging—can only ever be felt.

What invisible thing nourishes you most right now? 🤍

We can learn how to do this at any time in our lives. Lisa defines it as emotional intelligence! ✨ or the capacity to BE with.

But be with what?…

The capacity to be with our sensations, our feelings, and our thoughts that arise in any given moment. What we're describing is our capacity to regulate. Our ability to connect or to regulate in the midst of whatever experience we’re having.

It’s not about being calm. It’s not about having a particular experience in our feelings, thoughts, or body.

It is about being able to be with any and all experiences that arise in any given moment.

It’s our capacity to stay connected to ourselves in frustration, joy, sorrow, anxiety, confusion, overwhelm, anger….the list goes on.

And it’s one of the most important and hardest things to develop in ourselves.

Take a moment and think about an emotion that is typically challenging for you to experience. When this emotion arises in you- are you able to connect to yourself in the midst of it? Or do you want to run away from it, ignore it, push the feeling down, or pretend you aren’t having the feeling? What do you do?…

Whatever you do is not right or wrong; it’s simply information to help you get curious about your areas for growth as you’re developing your own capacity, expanding your windows of tolerance, and developing greater and greater levels for your own emotional intelligence.

Because when we learn how to connect to ourselves rather than expecting ourselves to calm down (which is a hard thing in and of itself), we learn some key things…

…We learn that we’re okay in the midst of our experiences. We don’t have to run away. Or that even when things feel challenging, we can still move toward that intensity. It allows us to expand our window of tolerance and engage in life at a deeper level because we get to experience a wider range of the fullness of emotional activity – to feel more alive, more connected with life itself, more connected with our own body, and our own being.

This is also what we’re up to with kids – it’s not about calming them or ourselves. Instead we’re supporting children in learning how to be with any and all experiences that arise. And it’s this ability to connect to themselves that is the ultimate gift we give to the children we work with.

Being authentic about who you are and how you present yourself is important when raising children and teenagers. Being genuine will help you to create the life you want for yourself and for them.

When you recognise your own true boundaries, you will show a strength and meaning that your children will adopt into their own lives as they will see it so strongly within you. Teenagers will need boundaries so they can live in a predictable environment in which they know what to expect.

Boundaries are those invisible lines that individuals draw to separate themselves from others and protect their well-being. From a psychological point of view, boundaries are important because they serve as a crucial aspect of human relationships, mental health, and personal growth. They tell others how you want to be treated and where your limits are. Boundaries can be divided into four types: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual.

As you would want your teenager to be honest and openly communicate with you to how they are feeling, you will want to do the same. This begins with being open and honest within yourself. This modeling of respecting the boundaries you have of yourself and for others will at the same time serve as a lighthouse for your teen.

This can be a tricky period of time to be both in the parent role and within a personal role if you struggled with boundaries and relationships when you were growing up yourself. Raising children is a period of time where what you lacked or the type of love that was modeled to you becomes very ‘out in the open’ and obvious, when you are parenting. This is a time to strengthen your own boundaries and relationships—for not only yourself -but your growing teens as well.

“Without this inner work, it is not possible to become a good role model and to teach your teenager to create the life they dream of.” 🌟

We hope you remember that the love we show to children shapes how they experience the world. When children feel truly cared for, they learn to notice and appreciate the goodness around them.
