Parenting
Parenting
“Parenting is an opportunity for lifelong learning – our children offer us the chance to be in a relationship that encourages us to deepen our connections with others and ourselves.”
DANIEL SIEGEL
Even though the transition to parenthood is considered a “normal” life event, it is often experienced as tough passage, even a crisis for some couples. Apart from the joy it brings, the presence of a new baby can put pressure on the parental relationship and demands new skills, new ways of being, and new roles and routines.
The opportunity we have as parents or co-parents is to empower a stronger, more conscious “next” generation into the world. Parents are guided on their conscious, intentional parenting journeys by:
- Firstly, dispelling the myth & managing expectations of the “perfect parent”, and how one can really get to know yourself well as a parent, looking at what it is you are bringing that might be impacting your connection with your child;
. - Secondly, empowering parents with new awareness, practices, and knowledge to develop attuned, compassionate, mindful connections with their children. For example, how to best support through different development stages, understand what’s happening in the brain (for e.g. when your child loses it, or when you lose it), how you can repair and reconnect with your child, and how you can develop a way of being with your child that provides safety, support and structure;
. - Thirdly, helping parents, as partners or co-parents stay as connected as possible, prioritising self-care and relationship care. Developing knowledge and practices to help parents/co-parents not only communicate better, but foster greater understanding and empathy, strengthening both their connection and their resilience to the challenges of parenting.
Whether you are pregnant and gearing up for the birth of your baby, a first-time parent, navigating as co-parents, battling with a teenager, or wanting to reconnect with an adult child, it is never too late to build stronger connections with your children.
