When you're stuck dealing with bedtime chaos, tantrums, media battles or too many activities and not enough time, it's really hard to feel connected with your kids and be the parent you want to be.
When the connection is off and you keep reverting to old patterns like yelling, punishments and threats, it's easy to feel like a failure, especially when you've done all the research and know how much harm these old ways of parenting lead to.
Yet, it feels like no one listens until you yell. So it's a vicious cycle.
That usually means yelling, punishments, losing it and tears, often from kids and mom/dad.
Then you resolve to try again, to be more patient, to do better.
But here's the thing, no amount of patience will get you there! Patience is definitely needed, but only when coupled with the right tools will it actually be effective to change behavior.
So many gentle parents make simple mistakes in their attempt to be the conscious, gentle parents they want to be.
Through parenting coaching you'll get the tools you'll need to use *EFFECTIVE* gentle parenting. Then life will be so much easier, and so much more fun!
Connected, easy and fun days are yours for the taking.
And don't give yourself a hard time for not being there already. No one handed you a manual with that cute little bundle.
Your future awaits. And it's much brighter when you can enjoy it, without constant frustration, and fighting about the same things over and over.
The cycle of correction and missed connection can go on so long it can feel like you don't even like your kids sometimes. Don't feel guilty - it means you need more tools and support.
And that's why you're here.
With all the obstacles out of the way, and when you're no longer spending all your time knee-deep in the muck, you have room to connect and actually enjoy each other.
That's the fun part.
After you've got the tools to deal with anything that comes your way, (imagine that feeling) you'll be maintaining a balance that improves your life in all areas.
You'll breathe easy, with no regrets.
