"I'll Never Do to My Kids What My Parents Did To Me!" A Guide to Conscious Parenting teaches parents how to interrupt negative family relationship patterns, and raise kids with a healthy sense of self. It is not just a cognitive method. Parents learn how to regain their own calmness and presence when they are aroused or upset. Identifying somatic or body reactions is a crucial part of learning how to manage reactions especially anger and frustration. We offer a wholistic system of parent education which teaches child development theory at the same time as teaching skill building. Socialize kids without breaking their spirit.
