5 Steps to Gentle Parenting
The '5 Step Gentle Parenting' Philosophy
Being a calm and gentle parents takes more than just learning the tools of calm parenting. In order to parent in a kind, compassionate and gentle manner, you need to feel energised, secure in yourself and your decisions, secure in your relationships, in control and happy. We have developed a 5 step gentle parenting solution to help mothers shift from feelings of exhaustion, worry, frustration and disorganisation to parenting with confidence, calm and self assurance.
Step 1 - Reduce Stress
First we work on getting to the heart of your stress, anxiety and worry. We work on tools to release the stress and as a result you feel more patient, in control, happier and healthier.
Step 2 - Boost Energy
Next we focus on boosting your energy levels. We aim for better quality stress (which is now aided by reduced worry), feeling healthier and more energised to have the desire to play with your child/ren and get things done without falling in a heap at the end of the day.
Step 3 - Power Self Esteem
We work together to create self care routines in order to build your self esteem and self confidence. This in turns reduces feelings of self doubt and insecurity and boost assertiveness.
Step 4 - Get Organised
We develop systems to organise your busy mum life to reduce feelings of failure by making life run smoother and ensuring you are on top of all your parenting, work and life demands.
Step 5 - Get Knowledge
Now that you're feeling your best, we empower you with thoroughly researched and tested calm parenting and gentle parenting tools to help you cope best in times of stress (such as during temper tantrums, when children don't want to listen, or when behaviour does not match your expectations). Taking a gentle parenting approach fosters a closer connection with your child and creates a more harmonious, inspiring, supportive, fun and loving home too.
