There was a time when parenting felt simpler. Children grew up learning resilience, responsibility, confidence, and respect for their family.
Today, many parents are overwhelmed, exhausted, and second-guessing themselves constantly
I blame the pendulum swing!
We went from child abuse parenting to parent abuse child-led parenting.
Suddenly it’s ok for toddlers to teenagers to be rude to their parents.
It’s as if we all have to make up for the few maniacs who abused their children; we blamed every parent and, to counteract the damage, decided child-led, or gentle parenting, was the solution.
Well, look around, it’s not!
Kids need parents to love and lead them into tomorrow and the future.
Saying ‘no’ is not abuse.
Neither is getting kids to help, expecting respect in the form of ‘thank you’ or ‘please’, or teaching children courage, strength and the ability to do things that seem hard in the moment - along with many other things.
How on Earth will children cope in a world that refuses to cater to them?
The good news?
It’s never too late to stop pleading with your kids and start leading them.
How much do kids love their ballet teacher, their coach or the ones who push them a little and expect that they do their best?
KIDS ADORE THEM.
Children thrive when they have calm, confident parents who lead with love, clear boundaries and instructions when necessary AND consistency!
That's what Role Model Parenting is all about.
Less arguing.
Less stress.
More connection.
More enjoyment.
HAPPIER children and families
Because parenting IS one of life's greatest joys - SO WAITING AND HOPING IS ROBBING YOU OF ALL THE FUN.
If you're ready to create a calmer, happier family life you and your children can thrive in, then I'd love to help.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS I CAN HELP YOU to become the mum or dad your children love, respect and adore!
Let’s face it - this (parenting) is no easy gig, but there is a way to make it as enjoyable as possible - for children and parents. (and the extended family - who will suddenly want to help again)
