Many parents go through a period where parenting feels particularly overwhelming. You feel the tension between wanting your child to feel loved and have full autonomy over who they are vs raising a respectful, cooperative child and the reality of being able to get through what you need to in a day.
Your child may be having large emotions, pushing back, or behaving in ways that feel concerning. You've tried ways of engaging that have been, at best, ineffective, and, at worst, damaging to the relationship.
You and your co-parent may be on different pages when it comes to parenting and this creates daily stress.
Maybe you’re the parent that is thinking about socialising, food, friendships, signing notes and activities and your partner steps in for a short time and you’re exhausted carrying the weight of the mental load.
External stressors, such as a demanding job, may be adding to a feeling of exhaustion, frustration, and you find yourself living on autopilot and sometimes hear your parents words come out of your mouth. You can feel the gears of the family unit grinding, and you’re just not enjoying it.
“Can’t I just enjoy parenting my child?” we wonder, “Without feeling like I have nothing left in the tank at the end of it?”
We all want to feel seen, heard and understood, and know how much easier it is to bring our best self to a situation where we feel individually respected and accommodated by the person making decisions.
Children are no different.
When the child feels seen, heard and understood, they will be able to respond to you in a more productive way.
Developing parenting skills that enable parents to adapt to their children as individuals is the key to calm, mutually empowering and connected relationships within the family.
From there, we find the leverage points that are unique to you and your family, which will help you optimise your energy, unlock your child’s authentic potential AND find peace in being the parent your child needs you to be.
I’m a mindset coach and help parents become the best version of themselves so their children can become their own best version through my Stressed Parent to Best Parent Method
The GIFT of a parent is to love your child.
The SKILL of a parent is to lead your child to like and love themselves.
FROM STRESSED PARENT TO BEST PARENT
From Stressed Parent to Best Parent is an 8-module program that enables parents to understand and effectively utilise their unique parenting style, so that they can understand and effectively engage with their unique child. When parents can do this, both the parent and the child’s needs are accommodated, and this brings out the best in everyone.
On signing up, parents are given a link to complete a comprehensive and scientifically backed assessment that measures your motivations across 48 different pillars.
Stressed to Best Parent can then be undertaken in a group:
Each week for 8 weeks, participants:
Are given access to a new video module and workbook, which they are expected to watch and work through before the live session;
Attend a 1 hour live Q&A session over Zoom, where we walk through your specific questions about the application of that modules learning to your family; and
Have access to a Facebook Community with the other parents in the program, where you can share questions to be answered in the live Q&A, celebrate your wins (and mourn your losses!), and support each other along the journey.
