I’ve tried – it doesn’t work

Trying something new, calls for a courageous heart.

What I am about to share with you is a success story of a parent who at first felt frustrated and hopeless because the new approach didn’t work.

This mother of a four and one year old, couldn’t find a way out of constant power struggles with her pre-schooler.

 

What she was looking for was one parenting tool or new skill - she deeply resonated with and was willing to try.

 

Believing that a solution is out there, she joined my service.

Before care-givers hear about Adlerian principles and Positive Discipline, they tell me that they always start off by asking the child nicely:

🙏 “Please do your homework”

🙏 “It is time to turn off the screen”

🙏  “We are brushing our teeth now”

🙏  “It is time to wake up”

🙏 ”It is your turn to empty the dishwasher”.

When a young person doesn’t listen, their guardian starts repeating themselves or the situation sometimes escalates.

In other homes, providers simply give up and carry everything by themselves.

How do you parent from a place of mutual respect and teach a child that freedom must come with responsibility?

I help you find the answers. 

Every interaction in all relationships requires firmness and kindness.

Without firmness, decisions and actions might be perceived as soft.

Without kindness, decisions and actions might be perceived as harsh. 

Learning something new, the enthusiast may feel a little deflated at first.

Take a moment and remember all the firsts you were faced with as a new parent:

🌱 First bath

🌱 First sleepless night

🌱 First fall

🌱 First temperature

🌱 First time alone out in public and so on. 

Practice makes mastery. 

The beauty about teaching this method is the opportunity for a parent to experience it first.

Mums and dads leave me feeling calmer, kinder, more respected and more competent about themselves – empowered.

How it works: 

Clients choose from my treasure chest 💎 filled with a wide variety of options and select the one they enjoy the most. 

The voluntary willingness replaces dead ends, guilt and feelings of failing in parenting with: fun, new energy and hope. 

Antoinette (mother of a child “who wants to be in charge”) shared with me:

“I can honestly say that your parenting course is the best thing I could ever do for my family, and myself.  

Your own wonderful honesty and experience really made me connect with your teachings.

I look back a lot and mostly in a good way, look at how I am doing things differently and so much better than how I was "treated" or listened to as a child. 

I am a better mother, wife and friend as a result of effortless parenting but there is still LOTS of room for improvement, … even that realisation makes us better parents!

You've made a huge difference in so many lives and homes.”
