Parenting with Presence, Empathy, Trust and Connection

So many of us wonder why parenting is such a challenging endeavor. Why are we lost in something that we should intuitively know how to do – raise our children. And among all the many things we learn in life, how are most of us ill prepared when it comes to parenthood.

 

We have a vague idea of the mother or father we want to be - or don’t want to be, but once the harsh reality kicks in, we instead find ourselves parenting the same way we were parented, passing on unhealthy generational patterns. And those outdated strategies are very likely causing more harm than good, either leaning towards authoritarian or permissive methods.

 

The good news is that there has been a tremendous amount of research in the last few decades that has brought us insight and answers to the question “what is the right thing to do”.We don’t have to “believe” one philosophy or another, we have the science that tells us how to raise self-confident, resilient and happy kids.
