~ Personal note from Connie

So nice to be connecting with you again! I hope you had a delightful weekend. I took a walk with my dear friend Rima in a lovely park and a relaxing horse ride with my wonderful husband Doug on Sunday. It was an uneventful ride, which is ALWAYS good.

Last night I got a call from my delightful daughter-in-law Nichola and my wonderful grandchildren Sebastian and Madison. They and my son had been gone all weekend so it was great to hear from all of them.

Hearing and feeling my grandchildren want to connect with me is magical beyond words! Madi doesn’t have a lot of words yet, and she is an enthusiastic screamer whose message comes through loud and clear.

~ Do You Have a Copy of my Book?

If you do, you are invited to participate in my F.REE Question and Answer Webinar in two weeks.

It doesn’t matter when or how you got your copy – a gift, as part of a program you took with me in the past, a purchase two years ago. As long as you have a copy of my book, you are invited.

Register by going here.

New Video: How to Connect with your Child After a Hard Day at Work

Is it difficult to know how to relate with your child after a tough day of work?

Do you sometimes bring work home with you, including your unhappy feelings?

In today’s video, I give you specific actions you can take and words you can say after a less-than-delightful day at work.

Making the transition to being with your child after a hectic, full day can be challenging, and it is easy to let the events of your day become a part of your evening with your child.

You can change this pattern with a few conscious steps before you walk through the door and when you greet your child.

This short (4 minutes) video tells you how.

Please share any experiences you have using these guidelines. They inspire other parents and give them new ideas.

Happy trails!

To your Joyous Family!

Be Authentically Yourself with your Child

August 21, 2012 By Leave a Comment

We just returned late yesterday afternoon from 3 glorious days of wilderness camping in the Sierra Mountains with our family – son Orion, daughter-in-law Nichola, wonderful grandchildren Sebastian and Madison.

I loved our time together exploring, hiking, laughing, sharing, cooking, sitting around the campfire and viewing the luminous stars overhead. Clever Orion quote: “The campfire is the TV of camping.” True! So many cherished memories from our annual adventure!

Copies of my book Joyous Child Joyous Family are flying out my door during my free book giveaway! I love that so many people are getting several to give to their family and friends.

One simple idea in this book can change your relationship with your child forever and support your child in being more fully herself for the rest of her life! Wouldn’t this be a magnificent gift to give yourself, your child, and those you love?

Reminder: My F.REE book giveaway with F.REE webinar ends this Friday so you still have time to get your copy and some for those you love. All I ask is you cover the small cost of shipping.

Go here to get your F.REE book(s).

Plus everyone who has a book, whether as a purchase or as a gift, is invited to participate in my F.REE Q & A webinar in September.

If you already have a copy of Joyous Child Joyous Parent and have not already registered for the webinar, go here to sign-up.

Today’s video Tip # 6: Be More Authentically Yourself with your Child

Wow! This is such an important component of parenting that it takes my breath away. Your child emotionally needs for you to be yourself, not the perfect parent. Too often, we act like the parents we think we should be, and not the people we honestly are in our hearts.

What do you do when you are being authentic with your child? I’d love to know. Please share in Comments below.

Happy trails!

To your Joyous Family!

Today is the first day of my book giveaway and I have a new video for you. You can read about both below.

Go here to get your free book/s and webinar now.

I am thrilled to be sharing this transformational, results-driven information with you!

New Video: The Importance of Being Adventurous with Your Child

Most of us don’t immediately think of being adventurous with our child as a good idea. It seems our child can be adventurous enough on his own.

In my new video Tip #5 I explain the importance of being more adventurous together and give you some tips on how to do it easily.

And, yes, being adventurous is an important part of parenting! Who knew?

What adventures have you taken with your child – whether a toddler or a teen? I’d love to hear about them in the Comments section.

Happy trails!

To your Joyous Family!

How to Have More Fun with your Child

August 9, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I’m going to the gym this morning with my wonderful son Orion where we regularly attend one of our favorite gym classes together. We both look forward to our Friday morning gym date and all the “it hurts so good pain” and the great conversation we share.

REMINDER: JOYOUS CHILD JOYOUS PARENT BOOK GIVEAWAY!!

From Monday, August 13 until midnight, Friday, August 24, I am giving all of my printed books away for FREE. And you are welcome to get additional copies for your family and friends! All I ask is that you cover the low investment of handling and shipping.

Quantities are limited so don’t wait until the last day to get yours! When they are gone, they are gone, even if it is before Friday, August 24.

Plus I’m including an additional value-packed gift for those who take advantage of my book giveaway.

Watch for my announcement this coming Monday when I’ll tell you how to get your FREE copy of my book and the added gift. I am so excited to be sharing this with you!

TOP TEN TIPS VIDEO SERIES

In case you haven’t been able to watch my recent videos, I’m doing videos on each of my Top Ten Parenting Tips, which are included in my book. Today’s video is Tip #4.

A word of warning: My Top Ten Tips can be deceptively simple Most parents believe they know this, yet most people do not actually implement these important basic ideas in their life.

Knowing something intellectually is very different than living it day-to-day. For example, when was the last time you tried to eat more healthy foods or to work out more at the gym?

When you watch the videos, you have an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the idea and how to make it a part of your daily life. When you live these truths, you more profoundly bring out the best in your child and deepen your emotional connection with her.

Here are links to all 4 tips I’ve done so far:

#1 – The Most Important Parenting Question

#2 – Your Child Needs Structure

#3 – Nurture your Emotional Connection with your Child

#4 – Play with your Child – below

All of these videos are short – 4 to 5 minutes in length and will deepen your ability to be the parent your child wants and needs you to be.

Happy trails!

To your Joyous Family!

Are You and Your Child Loving Your Emotional Connection?

August 6, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Last week I promised I have a gift for you. Here it is!!

Beginning next Monday, August 13 until Friday, August 24, you can get a copy of my book “Joyous Child Joyous Parent” for FREE. Plus you can get copies for your family and friends! All I ask is that you cover the low investment of handling and shipping.

Why am I doing this?

The quality of the paper used in the cover is not up to my standards, and I want everything I do to represent the quality of the information I share and how I want to express myself in the world. Everything else, except the cover paper, is great about my book.

I thought, “What a fantastic opportunity to gift my book to you, my followers who are passionate about bringing out the best in your child!” Therefore, I am sharing my inspiring, practical book with you to assist you in creating the Joyous Family you most desire.

Please note: I have a limited number of books. When the books are gone, there will be no more for FREE.

My book will still be available in the future in a printed version with a quality cover I love, and I am in the process of creating e-versions of my book.

Remember, my book giveaway begins one week from today. I will send out an email to remind you. Plus in the coming weeks, I am doing a special video series of my Top 10 Tips, which are included in my book.

I’m so excited to be sharing this with you!

Today’s video is Top Ten Tip #3 from my book. Enjoy!
