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!

July 11, 2012 By 5 Comments

I have a new video for you today that has the power to “rock your world” as my friend Isabel likes to say and in a profoundly positive way.

Do you ever wonder if you are on the right track as a parent or if there is something more your child needs and wants to develop fully, to be happy, self-confident and self-reliant?

Today’s video will help you cut through all the chatter and conflicting parenting ideas out there. This is the parenting question that is intrinsic to all other parenting questions. It underlies all parenting decisions you make.

Enjoy!

Secret to Being More Patient with Your Child

June 11, 2012 By 2 Comments

I hope you and your family are enjoying the start of summer! My husband and I are deeply into a remodel of our home – the offices and bedroom – all of which have closets with lots of stuff. It’s expanded into a bigger project than we anticipated — doesn’t it often? — and we are making good progress and love how it is looking.

Today’s Video

Every parent gets frustrated and angry with their child from time to time, and you say or do something you later regret. What makes the difference in its impact on your child and in your relationship are how frequently you become upset and how intensely.

It’s important to remember how emotionally sensitive your child is. Yes, even your surly teen. In fact, your child is probably more aware of your up-tightness than you are. What you say and do affects your child’s self-confidence and his connection with you more deeply than you probably realize. This one is crucial!

Today’s short video gives you the most important step to being more patient with your child. Without this step, you will continually try to control and manage your anger without getting to its root causes and making the long term changes you desire.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I love hearing from you and want you and your child to love your joyous time together! Write your question in the ‘Comment’ section or send me an email.

When are the times you struggle to understand why your child is acting the way she is?

Your child’s repetitive behavior challenges occur when you unknowingly misunderstand what matters most to your child, what she most needs from you, her mom and dad.

Watch this video and gain a deeper understanding of what makes your child tick!

Then tell me what you are you going to do to improve your relationship with your child. How do you see these behavior difficulties differently? Share your insights with other parents!

Your Child as Your Teacher

May 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Your child is such great teacher for you – if you will simply watch her with an openness and willingness to learn. By observing what she does, she will teach you so much about who she is, what she needs and wants from you to develop into who she wants to be

He will also teach you about being who you are and living a full life – if you are willing to learn from him, if you allow him to be who he is.

You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them
like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
 – Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
