Description

What if I told you that acceptance - the thing you think means "giving up" - actually requires MORE effort than fighting? And what if this one shift could stop your parenting triggers in their tracks? 

Hey parents! I'm giving myself high fives over here because this episode is going to blow your mind about what acceptance actually means in connected parenting. If you've been in League with me, you're probably rolling your eyes because I say "accept, accept, accept" ALL the time. But today I'm doing a different spin on acceptance that will challenge everything you think you know. 

What You'll Learn: 

  • Why acceptance is the hardest (and most powerful) parenting tool
  • The 3-step process to accept triggering moments "as if you chose them"
  • How to stop your nervous system from hijacking your parenting responses
  • The counter-intuitive reason fighting your kids' behavior makes it worse

The Acceptance Challenge That Will Change Your Parenting
 
"Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it." - Eckhart Tolle
