A Communal Transformative Parenting Hub-
Welcome to Our Parenting Hub! Here we are creating a sacred space where I hope to share “Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads” that will make “Parenting” a journey that is both transformative and supportive as you embark on the “Journey through Parenthood”! I hope that what is shared will be eye opening and uplifting and will give you a sense of peace and balance as a parent in “residence” with the gift of your child-children.
Parenting is basically a trial and error expereince as both the child and the parent navigate their relationship in a world that is evolving so rapidly, that we are living in a state of very little grounding. While parenthood is challenging, it is the most amazing expereince that brings you the most gratification as you witness your growth and development and the growth and develpment of your child.
As a parent, I must embrace the gift of parenthood and the responsibilities of this role in my child’s life. It is a life long journey in which there will be opportunities for me to build a loving and respectful relationship with my child. Everyday is a day which presents new challenges and new growth. I invite you to share in my experiences as a parent and as an educator of young children.
The Poem- ” I Realize”, that is the foundation of my philosophy of Parenting-
I realize I’ve been given the gift to be your parent and as your parent I realize this is a life time commitment.
I realize this means I have the responsibility to be your lifetime earthly ‘Spirit Guide”.
I realize you are a gift given to me great intention and you and I are connected by design.
I realize you are expecting me to take my responsibility seriously and understand I cannot be your friend and “Spirit Guide” at the same time.
I realize you are expecting me to love you, guide you, support you, and discipline you, with consistency and continuity.
I realize I must follow through with what I proclaim to be truth, justice, integrity and genuine love for you, so you will ultimately develop your own sense a conscious and values.
I realize I must be very intentional in spending time with you, praying with you, playing with you, laughing with you, crying with you, listening to you, and problem solving with you.
I realize I have a responsibility to provide for you- to make sure you have all the resources and experiences you need to be a whole, healthy, happy and confident human being.
I realize you are not me and I am not you and as your “Spirit Guide” I have a responsibility to observe you and discover who you are and what “Great Spirit” has ordained you to contribute to society so I can support you on your journey to “Greatness”.
I realize you came here knowing who you are and what you must do and if I honor and respect you and if I demand that others do the same, you will blossom into your full expression of beauty and this world will be a better place because of you.
I realize I have a responsibility to be all I can be so you will know I expect you to do the same.
I realize our love for each other will last beyond this life time and the next and what we build with each other today will last forever.
I realize you are my gift and I am yours.
