Back to school is upon us…. A great time to chat with our kids around setting goals / personally & academically for the year. Saw this post today & it’s a great reminder to me of the importance of teaching & guiding our kids to stand in their truths & values & boundaries ❤️
Wishing you all a wonderful healthy & fun school year ahead! ❤️
Consious Parenting 101 ❤️
When we create an open space for our kids to share & express their thoughts, opinions & experiences, we are servicing them well!!!
There are so many opportunities for teaching, guiding & connectedness available to us everyday.
We are tired, stressed, overwhelmed, busy, distracted etc but when we promote self expression & communication (even if that’s a quick check-in convo in the tubby or before sleep time or while driving) we are showing our kids that we care.
I learned today that my 7 year old is feeling conflicted at school... she is a welcoming sensitive kid who has been struggling with loyalty.
OPPORTUNITY!! ❤️
One of her most treasured friends finds it difficult to share friendship and has been (unintentionally) pressuring her to not allow other friends to join in playtime and demanding my daughter to play with her alone.
The conversation brought up a lot - a golden parent opportunity to explore how we all as humans, project, protect & react to situations in our own unique way, and where & why all of that can root from.
I’m not sure how the situation will resolve.. but I trust it will. I was able to suggest some strategies for her to consider...
With PINK DAY upon us..... Its an excellent opportunity to discuss with our kids the different ways in which we can example how we want to be treated, what feels right in our hearts and soul, & the importance of personal boundaries with our friends.
“Sometimes my darling, even when it’s hard, and you don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings, it’s up to us to teach and show our friends how we want to be treated, to take a kind but firm stand for who we are what we believe in.”
It’s tricky... there is a balance between self empowerment & being sensitive to others. ❤️💥.
