Sweet Mamas! Happy Mother’s Day!
On this Mother’s Day you may get flowers and breakfast in bed. You may get homemade cards drawn in crayon with hearts and stars and the words I Love You Mommy. And that is so very lovely and sweet indeed.
On this Mothers Day I encourage you to Give Yourself a Gift in just 5 minutes. Take a few quiet moments (you may actually get that today). Close your eyes. Place your hands over your heart and take 3 slow deep breaths. Then bring your beloved children into your awareness one at a time and let your love grow even bigger with gratitude for their presence and their gift in your life – even if that hasn’t been easy lately. Give this to yourself and let the love in your heart burn ever brighter.

I have seen over and over that your children's behavior will change when you do. This is VERY GOOD NEWS! You can't change anyone else anyway. Not even your children. They have to do that for themselves. What we can do is guide, encourage and love them along the way.

Welcome to Happy Parent Happy Child. My name is Lauren Astor and I am on a mission to help parents who are dealing with power struggles, tantrums, and meltdowns from tots to teens. If you are yelling, fighting, frustrated, blaming your kids, blaming yourself, feeling alone and hopeless, please contact me and we can begin to find new ways for you to respond that create calm and loving connections with your children. I have seen over and over that your child’s behavior will change when you do. As a Parent Mentor/Coach, I have worked with hundreds of parents helping them build peaceful, loving, and respectful relationships among all members of the family. My clients learn to create simple yet profound personalized strategies developed for their family that are easy to use and result in more cooperation and happier, stress-free days - without yelling, punishing or caving- in.
