Quick Thoughts: Parenting with PURPOSE

Okay everyone, we are interrupting our regular programming to share some exciting news!!

Erica and Cassie are combining forces yet again…We’re joining together along with our friend and mental health expert—Jordan Olsen—to bring a LIVE discussion about parenting from a heart-centered, evidence-based approach. This live professional discussion will guide its listeners onto a path of supporting emotional wellness and resilience for not only children but parents alike.

Read on for the full description of this multi-disciplinary discussion:

On one hand, “parenting” could be merely defined as the process of the day-to-day actions and responsibilities one carries out to raise a child. But is that really all we want out of such a critical role in shaping the human race? If we are willing, parenting can also be a lifelong journey. One that allows us to learn more about ourselves, heal our own wounds, and understand the impact we have on the future lives of our children, their children, and humanity at large. What if we chose to parent on and with purpose?

In this multi-disciplinary discussion, you will begin to learn concepts, values, and tools that parents can use to surpass outdated belief systems and instill values that raise the next generation with confidence, competence, and compassion. So, what does it mean to parent with PURPOSE?

• Prepare the child for the path. Instill resilience and self-confidence so that your child can move through and grow from any of life’s obstacles.
• Understand, listen, and attune to your child. This one is not always easy, especially if we did not receive this in our own childhood—but there’s still hope!
• Regulate alongside our child and help them develop their own regulation skills. 
• Play with our children and find our own sense of play. It’s way more than just fun and games; it’s critical to optimal development and mental/emotional wellness.
• Open our minds to expand our perceptions of “me,” “you”, and “us” and gain a wider perspective of how we relate and communicate.
• Facilitate Safety from a physical, emotional, and relational sense. It sets the tone for all experiences for both child and adult alike. 
• Expand beyond habits, limitations, and hard-wired beliefs. Let love and compassion lead the way. Not only will you have a healthier, emotionally well, and happy child; you just might find a deeper, more fulfilling life experience for yourself. 

We hope that you join us as we unpack the “how’s” and “why’s” to parenting with intention and identify your unique path to whole-family health and wellness.
