Do you ever feel like you're a "Dr. Jekell and Mr. Hyde" in your parenting? One part of you is loving, patient and understanding. Then there's this OTHER part that shows up ... you yell (or really want to), feel utterly frustrated, stressed out, and want to escape.
Both are valid; an honest expression of how you feel in the moment.
Here's the deal ... as parents, we have one foot in "reactive" parenting, and one foot in a conscious, response-based approach that feels right to us. Wouldn't it be nice to be in that conscious one more often?
My purpose for this blog is to help you really understand the reactive parent in you. I hope to help you understand it, accept it and transform it into your good. As this happens, you become more of the parent you truly want to be. You are more confident. You know how to connect with your child with greater ease. You know how to set limits that make sense and that children respond to. You and your child are able to uncover creative solutions together ... even in the most challenging of circumstances.
Through my personal parenting experiences and challenges ... and the desire to feel confident and good about my parenting ... I created a process I call the WAVE™. I'll be introducing you to this process, and sharing real-life examples of how it works and how you can use it in your own parenting.
As you incorporate and practice using these new tools, I invite you to share your personal experiences and be part of the conversation.
To your parenting confidence and success,
Kim
