Healthy Parenting Starts With A Better You!
What an enjoyable time I had with love-based parenting expert Heather Forbes in the Secrets that Unlock the Heart of Every Child teleseminar/interview!
I really enjoy the teleseminar experience for a number of reasons–all of which you might also appreciate:
- telephone-based convenience
- interaction with like-minded people
- affordability
- sizable selection of topics and price points
- opportunity for personal growth
- ad infinitum…
If you couldn’t attend, here are just a few nuggets that Heather shared:
- Be aware of how your behavior influences upon your interaction with your child–this is especially important during times of stress! Stop and ask yourself if what you’re doing and how you’re doing it helps your child to comply or cooperate. Even better, watch your child’s reaction to you!
- Never forget that your child is just as prone to stress as you are, albeit different in scope and character. Your child’s stress comes from the daily demands and routines of life…getting along well with important friends, performing up to their ability and your expectations, getting along with you and siblings at home, homework, sports and extracurricular activities, etc.
- Stay committed to your own emotional growth…you are your child’s most significant role model and how you behave in relationship becomes part of your child’s blueprint.
Much of this you know–all that’s needed is a commitment to stay at it! I’m here to help you stay at!
Be encouraged!
