I think the speaker makes a valid point. What patterns are we avoiding just because it's so darn unpleasant? or we just don't know what to do about it? What are your thoughts on this reel?

It’s okay if you’re worried your kids are entitled. In fact, it’s a good thing. Why? Because we can only work on problems we identify - and too often, we identify a problem and then think, “On NO!” and then we turn away... instead of, “Oh YES! I’ve already done Step 1. Amazing!” and then we can keep on going. Here’s what I know: you’re a good parent who wants to raise a good, stable, sturdy, respectful, resilient kid. And here’s what else I know: you’ve never had a roadmap for how - *exactly* - to avoid entitlement. Without a roadmap, we all fail. That’s not your fault. I hope you give yourself permission to forgive yourself for whatever patterns in the past have led to entitled behaviors in the present. I know I forgive you, for whatever that’s worth! Some more good news: I know the pathway to *avoiding entitlement.* How? From my decades of working with families and my unique understanding of how to help kids become grounded, patient, respectful individuals (who can, of course, still stand up for themselves!). Anyway, I hate the idea of a parent wanting to work on something and not knowing where to turn. In the link in my bio, you can see my new project: and it’s not a workshop! Instead, I’ve put my decades of study into my Guide for Avoiding Entitlement, built for the busy parent who wants a roadmap they’ve never had before.

Making legislative visits in Sacramento to advocate for quality, affordable childcare

I've been studying anatomy stuff for the past couple of weeks and so Ny, made me an anatomy paperdoll for Mother's Day. Omg, this was the best gift ever!

To the Moms out here - Happy Mother's Day, I hope you feel seen and pampered today. I know I do.

We touched on this in our parent teacher conferences last week. Here is an image that summarizes the concept. Keep in mind each layer stands firmly on the one below. This is what builds a strong foundation for learning. Accedemics occupy developmently appropriate spaces, introduction with expectations, too early, can be problematic. Let's continue to form solid foundations with love and care.

This is a picture of Standing Holy, who is listed as Sitting Bull's daughter. It brings to mind the traditional Oceti Ŝakowiŋ style of parenting. The first time that Sitting Bull traveled and observed non-Native people spanking their children, he was shocked.
There was never a need to continually scold a child, belittle them, or strike them. They cuddled their children from birth to about seven because they believed crying wasn't good for children.
Often, if a child did not stop crying, some grandmothers would cry along with them to help them get over whatever had made them sad.
At an early age, they begin to take on the responsibility of their clothing and bedding. Our people traveled with the buffalo and had to be mobile. By the age of 10, most of our children knew how to take care of the materials needed for travel.
Love, teaching, structure, and community raised our children.
Colonization tells us that physical discipline helps shape our children and turn our boys into men. Yet, without ever being spanked, we produced the greatest warriors that ever walked this land.
Our lifeways and ceremonies through the different stages of life were more valuable than anything colonization offered.
