How do we continue and nourish our children with their growth and development?
How do we empower them with the ability to say yes or no for what is correct for them?
In this episode, we explore the above questions because that is going to be something we as humanity are constantly exploring and evolving towards.
We discuss the difference between empowerment from the energy of love and compassion vs. power that comes from the energy of fear/frustration/anger. And the truth is, it's not just having our kid(s) back, it’s having our own back too.
We are constantly in the process of reparenting ourselves and so much love, grace and compassion are needed to do this.
In this episode, we discuss:
- What the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is, when it goes offline and how we react
- Being the example with our kids and showing them repair in real time
- It’s never too late for repair if your children are grown and don’t live with you
- NO is actually empowering, there are 2 places where we practice learning to say NO in childhood (around age 2 and the teenage years)
- Owning our NO’s
