Conscious Parenting Part 2

• The 5 myths of parenting:
  • Parenting is all about my child.
  • The goal of parenting is to raise a happy and successful child.
  • My child's behavior is paramount and therefore needs to be fixed.
  • Parenting is all about loving my child.
  • Be the parent.
• Parenting Choices:
  • Ego vs. Essence
  • Connection/Containment vs. Disconnection/Lack of Containment
  • Is this about me or about my child?
  • Do I see lack or abundance?
  • Do I own this or dump it onto my child?
  • Being or Doing?
  • Am I in the past, present, or future?  What time zone am I in?
  • How does mindfulness fit in?
