Re-Framing the Parenting Conversation: Invitation to Expand

As I stand in my world today, I believe there is no conversation more significant, more meaningful, more impactful than the one regarding the re-framing of parenting. While most parenting conversations revolve around advice giving and "how to" parent from a historically or scientifically driven perspective, Naomi Irons and I go way beyond in this conversation.

Personally, I am not particularly interested in the "how-to" conversations stemming from history that assume someone else, out there, knows what's best for my child. Instead, I choose to parent from a place of trust of my own internal sensory cues and let that guide my parenting decisions. Parenting from the space of deep trust and self-intimacy feels safe, solid and expansive.

In this conversation titled "The Power of Presence" Naomi Irons from the Poetry of Predicament podcast, Take my Hand Initiative: Conscious Parenting in a Time of Stolen Dreams, and I delve deep into what it means to parent for the birthright of human potential. ...let the massiveness of that latter part of the sentence sink in for a second. If you choose to listen to the podcast, know that this is an expansive conversation is framed around the WEL-Systems® paradigm and it invites you to become more as you listen.

I know this was a fun, exciting, meaningful conversation for both Naomi and I. In the end, that is all that matters.

I hope you enjoy, and if it calls you, contact me to let me know what it moved in you. I'm always happy to chat!

If you're interested in what I have to write, consider signing up for email reminders (at the bottom of the homepage) to see when I post another blog...maybe once a month, or so, depending on when the ideas flow through me and my fingertips.

For now, my son is calling for my attention. Nothing sweeter in the world.

How to Parent for Potential - Guide
$0.00

A short guide and journaling resource for parents who are looking to start evolving their parenting.

This is for you if …

  • you are ready to re-frame how you define parenting (you will be introduced to the notion that parenting is a process, not a role — processes are predictable and evolve; roles are obligatory).

  • you are curious to find out the importance of how who you are is the template for who your children are capable of becoming. 

  • you are willing to stay in the tough conversation with yourself and discover what gets in the way of you parenting as you wish to.

Here’s the thing — this is a free resource to get you thinking about parenting differently. I will not magically transform you. However, it will give you a framework to consider what’s possible when you choose to become more conscious (rather than act from habit).

The more “you” you become, the more free your children are to be themselves!

Are you ready to explore your inner landscape and how it defines how you parent? If so, this guide is for you.
