Conscious Parenting Mindset Shift
MomE Club Family- let us begin conversation around the conscious parenting mindset. Through literature we can formulate the following suggestive implications:
We are not here to control our children- our job is to control ourselves
Children learn more from the behavior we model than what we try to “teach” through words
It is not our child’s job to make us happy- our happiness is our own job
A child presenting challenging behavior is a child who needs help
The depth of our connection is the only true influence we have in their choices as they grow
Come from a place of compassionate curiosity when responding to their behavior
Come from a place of compassionate curiosity to understand our own behavior
Our role is not to mold them into our liking- it is to support them as they discover who they are
Attention seeking behavior is actually connection seeking behavior
We are our child’s world, they do not want to make us angry or upset. They are always doing their best
Moms, Moms 2 Be and Moms in Waiting- to reach the mindset shift required for conscious parenting focus more on you and less on the behavior! The ah ha for me- I am often critized for the level of tolerance displayed when my daughter has “big feelings” but when I try to navigate the world through her eyes- it is in fact big and scary and you know the best secret! right now she feels that her Dad and I have ALL the answers sOo.. .. I will cherish these times for reflective memories during the teen years! LOL
