Raising Inspired Children
Of all the jobs I’ve had over my 53 years, my favourite and the most challenging job, has been parenting our 3 amazing daughters.
We have never treated them like they are our little minions who must obey our every word, but rather, we give them the freedom to be who they are and support them to help them grow into the best versions of themselves.
Our role as a parent in the first few years is to teach our children, as well as to encourage them to develop resilience, to trust themselves and to be okay with making a few mistakes along the way while they also learn the power of decision making. We definitely offer our advice and guidance when asked, we communicate a LOT, and we ultimately leave it to them to come to thier own well informed conclusions. By allowing them to make their own decisions and learn how to live with the consequences of those decisions - good or bad - we set them up to lead a life they take ownership and responsibility in creating.
We cannot protect our children forever, nor is that our job. We want them to be empowered individuals who are confident, we want them to believe in themselves and know how to overcome challenges in order to achieve their destiny.
HA - sounds easy, doesn’t it?
My husband and I have learned as much from our children as they have learned from us.
Our girls are now 23 and the twins just turned 20. We have been through a lot as a family (what family hasn’t?). Our eldest daughter has a health condition that has layered in an additional complexity that we have all had to learn to navigate in order to best support her on her journey to be her healthiest (which she is thank GOD!). They are ambitious, self motivated, hard working, with a giant vision for the life and work they are creating and they give everything they do their absolute ALL.
We have been asked countless times for tips on parenting as all 3 girls have turned out pretty dang great! We aren’t perfect, we have made mistakes, but we have always learned together and grown together. In response to all the questions and to pay forward ALL that we have learned - we created an online course to help other parents raise inspired children.
In life all wisdom comes through experience….we are parents in the trenches just like you - raising our children while navigating our own challenges. In our UNIQUE course, you will hear from my husband and I, AND our children as we share both our personal successes and challenges, as well as how we overcame those challenges. The purpose of this course is to set you up to succeed based on a solid foundation of practical wisdom rather than theory.
Being a parent is THE MOST IMPORTANT role you will ever have. We are proud of this program and excited to share it with you. Check out the course and please message me with any questions.
Grateful to be on this journey with you! I BELIEVE IN YOU!
Thank you for being here.
Never forget one person can make a difference…. That one person is YOU.
With so much love,
Your friend,
