In this week’s episode I talk about raising children who are able to stay connected to their true selves. 

I believe the only way to be truly content and satisfied in life is to be able to stay connected to ourselves and what we truly want and need in life.

When we are able to act from a place of connection to ourselves and make decisions based on what is in line with our true selves, I believe it is the best way to live a happy, satisfying and fulfilling life. 

However, we often learn very early on that it isn’t ok to be ourselves. We have to change what we want or need to meet the needs of others, or to avoid disappointing others. 

So how do we help our children stay connected to themselves - so they don’t have to spend half their adult life figuring that out?

In this episode I talk about: 

• Doing our own emotional work to reconnect with ourselves so we can model to our children how to be true to ourselves whilst still being compassionate to others. 
  
• Taking our kids and their feelings seriously so they learn that it’s ok to be themselves. 
  
• How to make sure our love isn’t conditional on whether our children behave in a certain way. 
  
• Giving children as much autonomy as you can without being permissive.
  
• Help our children stand up for themselves through the power of play.
  
• How to be accepting of our kids when they aren’t able to be themselves.
  

I hope you find the episode helpful. If you want to take the next step and get the support you need to make these ideas a reality in your home then the doors are open to my Peaceful Parent School, we begin on 21st September, click on the link to learn more.
