I was recently invited to do an interview over at Bumples Family First.
Below is one of the 8 questions that I answered. Head over to the site to read the others and drop a question of your own in the comment box.
Do you feel there’s a greater need for parenting courses now than in the past? Why?
Me: That’s an interesting question. There are certainly more solutions being thrown at parents now than in the past. I think parents need support more than solutions.
Rather than offering cookie cutter solutions, A Crash Course in Mindful Parenting strives to help parents truly understand their own unique child. Once parents can grasp their child’s perspective, parents will feel much more confident and effective as parents.
Parenting is not just instinctive or intuitive. Parenting is not one-size-fits-all either. Sometimes the on-the-job training is too little too late. Sometimes parents want to parent differently than how they were parented. All of this takes thought, reflection, and some training. This course (and my site, Child Perspective) addresses this need.
