Twelve Step Parenting - a Lifelong Process
This year on A WILD RIDE we focus on a parenting "recovery" theme. What does recovery have to do with parenting challenging children? Everything. Think about how many times a week you mentally beat your-self up or harshly judge your actions as inadequate and ineffective. Too many to count?
When feeling frustrated and angry do you quickly flare & criticize or become overly harsh and punitive (to yourself or your children)? Do you sometimes feel so overwhelmed and drained that you avoid conflict? Do you feel your situation is out of control?
If you frequently dwell on your shortcomings as a parent rather than your strengths, it's time to turn that equation around and gain a new, healthy, realistic perspective. This is the year to rid ourselves of those deadly unrealistic expectations and instead honor our capacity to grow and develop through our issues arising from our mothering experiences.
Each month we concentrate on an assumption, idea, or concept for you to reflect on. We offer strategies for you to ponder and try on.
Above all else, we want to support you in finding your own way through the support of others who also are learning to appreciate and manage their humanness through the marathon of mothering.
Join us as we support you while taking an in-depth look at our unique 12 step parenting process.
Discover wisdom, laughter and opportunities to improve your relationship with your children.
