Setting Our Intentions & Setting the Container
In this session, we will discuss and establish your goals as a parent, and create an image of the life you want to live throughout parenthood. We will also go over the difference between coaching services and therapy services.
Understanding Generational Patterns
This session overlooks the effects of your how your current parenting is influenced by your own upbringing. Here, we identify learned behavioral patterns that may have been proven as ineffective approaches in facing and embracing ruptures, repairing them, coregulating, and developing the capacity for compassion and patience in the face of chaos. We will explore in-depth the 10 pillars of transformational parenting.
Understanding Our Need for Connection
Through acknowledging and validating our own bids and needs for connection, we cultivate a healthy understanding of our children's emotional needs. In addition, we will review skills for responding to our children's needs before reacting to them. We will review the 4 different attachment styles in length, and dive into your own attachment style, as well as what influence it may have within your current parent-child dynamic.
Understanding Emotional Regulation
With some education in brain science and nervous system science, we will explore the brain and the structures and systems responsible for emotional regulation. In keeping with the goal of being able to co-regulate with our children, we will learn healthy skills in self-regulation so that we can remain as the harbor for our children to anchor to in moments of their dysregulation.
Understanding Our Mindset & Mindsight
This session will be an opportunity to examine what is going through your mind during pivotal interactions with your child. Are you process-and-solution-focused in moments of conflict? Are you too focused on the problem at hand? Together, we will use mindsight to attune to your child and form an understanding of their internal experience through your developing skills in self-analysis and self-reflection.
Understanding Emotions
In developing a clear understanding of emotions, we will review commonly used communication styles that prevent us from communicating our true feelings and experiences effectively. In identifying and reviewing core emotions, and distinguishing between thoughts and feelings, you will cultivate your own emotional intelligence and learn the steps to take in cultivating this within your child.
Understanding Communication
Everything we say and do is an attempt to get a need met, and this is the lens through which we are going to view your and your child's behavior. Learning the skills of non-violent communication, and building the capacity to hold space for important and impending discussions, you will become equipped with and practice the skills to have empowered conversations with your child.
Understanding Boundaries
Our first step in this session will involve defining what is and is not a boundary, and highlighting how to phrase your boundary. We will review who boundaries are for, what we can do when boundaries are not being respected, how to respect others' boundaries while maintaining safety, what boundaries are non-negotiable, as well as identify what boundaries or rules we can let go of and when.
Understanding Rituals and Routines
Rituals and routines in your empowered parenting journey are going to be YOUR anchor. Here, we will explore rituals and routines that best suit you, your family, and put good use to all of your new interpersonal relationship skills! Together, we will additionally acknowledge, embrace, and welcome anger and discover ways to channel it into "healthy aggression".
Understanding Importance of Play
Learning your own style(s) of play as a parent is what we are looking to unveil in this session. Considering our playfulness does not need to match that of our child's to be considered play, we'll explore less obvious forms of play as a parent, and discuss it's role is connecting with your child. Given that playfulness is going to look different for everyone, we will identify styles of play that feel most natural to you. You will also learn the ways in which storytelling can create a safe space for you child to process big thoughts, feelings, and concepts.
Reflection & Resources
In our second to last session, you will be guided into reflecting on where you were in your parenting journey upon the first session, and where you have brought yourself to today. We will identify what practices and approaches have proven effective for you as a parent and why, and learn the importance of celebrating where it is definitely warranted. This will also be a great opportunity to shed approaches that are not working so well, and explore additional resources to support you in maintaining your progress.
Reviewing your Transformative
In our final session, we will review your transformation through the eyes of your child, in addition to how you now view yourself as a parent. We will discuss who and what you have become for your child, and review and map out your empowered and intentional parenting go-to guide!
Lastly, we will have a conversation around the long-term implications of maintaining your conscious parenting practices as you and your child grow together.
