Mummy: Hello girls . Please help me and select the beans.
Twin 1-Picking these beans is too hard.
Twin 2- this quantity is OK.
Mummy: Calm down. Let me show you how to pick the beans(demonstrates selecting the beans)
Both girls manage to select the beans with complaints and murmuring.
Fast forward to another day.
Mummy: Hello girls,I need your help to select the beans.
Twin 1- Oh God. Not again
Twin 2 - oh Mummy don't you know it's hard.
Mummy: I know. But i also know you can do.
(Shares the beans equally for them)
Both quickly safeguard theirs so the other persons portion doesn't spill over.
 Mummy is smiling and thankful that the resistance was reduced.Â
Funny enough, after several attempts, picking beans is not as difficult as it used to be.Â
No resistance, no murmuring. Gisting while selecting the beans.
Just like these children, when the knowledge of intentional parenting got to me initially, I struggled because most of the concepts were strange to me. They were not something I was used to or even knew about.
I even querried some,maybe because of my ignorance.
Over the last few years that I started parenting intentionally, I have noticed a great change in how my children and I relate.
I am no more that grumpy, always beating, and always yelling mum that I used to be.
I have grown skills that enable me to listen to my children and relate with them as humans that they are.
I no more struggle with those concepts.Â
Has it been easy? No.
Do I slip along the line ? Sometimes, because I am on a journey to becoming.
You, too, can start this journey today, or pick up from where you stopped as a result of the activities of life.
For some of you, it could be that you give intentional parenting a try from your former ways of parenting and see how it goes.
You can do this by.
🎯 Reading books on parenting.Â
🎯 Enrolling in a parenting academy like Nurturenest AcademyÂ
🎯 Following people that you admire who are/ have successfully raised thriving children.
🎯 Joining support groups and asking questionsÂ
Thank you for your time.
