Thoughts On Parenting For A New Paradigm

Hi Lovelies!

I’ve spent the past weeks getting clear on my parent education practice, which is to support parenting for new paradigm—a post-domination paradigm.

They say you end up teaching or coaching what you most need to learn. Parenting for a new paradigm is something I’m deeply committed to learning, practicing and sharing.

These are the messages I’ll be communicating in support of that:

  • Parenting for a new paradigm doesn't come easily. We need support, resources, compassion for ourselves and education.

  • Parents need ample support in re-parenting ourselves, being well and feeling resourced.

  • The way we parent is directly correlated to levels of empathy, compassion, creativity and well-being.

  • Parenting practices correlate directly to world peace. (For more on this, check out Robin Grille’s Parenting For A Peaceful World.)

  • Feelings are our friends: Empathic listening to children's tears and tantrums helps us release stress, and heal from trauma. It helps children be connected to themselves and empathic of others.

  • Our bodies are wise: Let’s support that wisdom with letting our children be self-led when it comes to food, emotions and learning.

  • It is possible to parent in a way that gets everyone's needs without punishments and rewards.

  • Parenting is activism.

If any of this resonates with you, I’m here for you. Join the (free) Aware Parenting Hong Kong Facebook group or schedule an Aware Parenting consultation.

Much love,
Lia
