13. Human Design and My Relationships 22:01

1M ago22:01

22:01

Have you ever wondered why you connect with some people better than others? This can be especially true with our kids - and can cause us parents so much distress, as we interpret this as "liking" one of our kids better than the others.

12. I'll be happy when... 20:27

1M ago20:27

20:27

When I meet parents who are stressed, overwhelmed, or even at the end of their rope, I often hear a common theme: "I'll be happy when my child stops (you can fill in the blank here)," or "I'll stop feeling frustrated when my child does (fill in the blank)."

30:51

The parents I serve, the parents I connect with, the parent I was... would all say something along this line: "I am giving all of my time, my attention, my energy, my (you can probably add more here!) to my one child - they are exhausting me!"

As Mother's Day approaches, how are you feeling? For so many of us, it can come with more disappointment than joy, more frustration than fun, more sadness than flowers.

4: What does my child need from me right now? 18:31

4M ago18:31

18:31

When we are facing constant behaviors - we tend to become quick to react. We might react with consequences, with "teaching," with reminders of "the rules."
