UnParenting

There is plenty of information available online for navigating the practicalities of everyday life with kids.  Where to look for developmental stages advise, which child care centers are most appropriate for your specific needs, stay-at-home mom strategies, etc. etc.

Today, make a point of becoming aware of these habitual interactions.  The ones you judge good or bad or anywhere in between!  Resist the temptation to think the relationship dye has been caste, because if there is one thing we can change, it’s our perception.  And once we delve into the meaning of a changed perception, miracles in relationships happen!

Patterns can be set pretty easily,and the good news is they can be changed just as, if not more, easily!

So what would you like to see improve or enhance in your relationships with your family?  Does your child default into tantrum mode at the drop of a hat? Are you saying the sames things over and over with no results? Do you throw your hands up in resignation?

These are opportunities for you to attune to your own reactions.  What emotions emerge?  Do you feel sadness? Anger? Frustration? Hopelessness?  Where do you feel it in your body?  Does your stomach hurt, your chest feel heavy, your cheeks redden your throat close up?  Becoming aware of how you react is your first act of freedom.
