What is Conscious Parenting?

Pay Attention, Please!

  

So, what exactly (you might ask), is Conscious Parenting?  I’m not entirely sure, but I am loving the question.  I make as many mistakes as any parent – and some days, it feels like many more!  Still, each day brings new insights and encouragement, so I keep thinking and writing.  Hope this helps just a little bit... 

  

At its heart, doesn’t Conscious Parenting have to start with becoming conscious?  I think we need to actively pay attention to the parenting choices we make throughout each day:

  

• What are we doing, saying, not doing and not saying to our children?
• Why are we behaving the way we do – what do we hope to accomplish?
• What is the likely result of our choices – what will we probably accomplish?

For example, suppose you put your baby to bed and let her cry herself to sleep.  Why are you doing this?

Welcome

 
Conscious parenting.  Mid-life mommies and pre-pubescent sons.  Single parenting, adoption and healthy foods.  Fun family travel.  A deep breath of fresh air.

This is the world of Conscious Family Journal.  Thank you for joining me and my family, as we follow our own path to health, happiness, and maybe just a little wisdom.  Peace!
