Every holiday,
I'm reminded of the power of rituals + routines to guide our lives. How it's been that way since the beginning of human existence. That our brains are pattern-seeking. That if we want peace of mind, and peace in our homes We can let those Routines Rule. Or be the boss. Think about a preschool classroom... What if everyday, the teacher decided to do the class activities in a different order. Chaos would ensue. Same concept applies to our homes. If you're on inner rebel, free spirit like me you may resistant doing.the.same.thing.everyday. at.about.the.same.time. So start small. Pick one time of day. Bedtime or morning routines. Or a time when you notice your family struggles. Build a routine full of at least one thing that motivates you and your children. Ask your children for input, and how they want to be reminded of the routine. And give it a go! Be consistent, for this next week. And watch power struggles lessen, and maybe disappear all-together when you...

Hi friends, I write from the heart to tell my life story, and the story of those in my neighborhood called life. Research shows that our children's emotional & mental health is contingent upon us parents being able to tell our life story, or "coherent narrative." This is my coherent narrative, my life story in the making, with some of what I love in life too. My goal is to share my life in a way that is real, uplifting & positive- sometimes serious, sometimes fun. In my practice, I inspire parents to empowerment through reclaiming our life stories and learning respectful discipline. My work is my offering to our children- our future. Wishing you all a happy family! Archives
