15.01.2022 "At a conference about discipline this year, people in the room shared stories about children’s negative behaviors, which they labelled 'attention-seeking.' It ...made me wonder why children wanting attention is such a negative idea: Did we learn as children that it was bad, or even shameful, to want attention in the first place? And then, during the discussion at my session, I said: 'What if instead of saying (or thinking), ‘She is just doing it for attention ignore her,’ we said (or thought) instead, 'She is just doing it for relationship.' ~Amy https://www.nbcnews.com//child-s-bad-behavior-isn-t-attent

07.01.2022 "Something happens between infancy and adulthood that disconnects us. What that is, is our need for acceptance by our environment. If our environment cannot support our gut feelings and our emotions, then the child, in order to ‘belong’ and ‘fit in’ will automatically, unwittingly and unconsciously, suppress their emotions and their connections to themselves, for the sake of staying connected to the nurturing environment, without which the child cannot survive. A lot of child...ren are in this dilemma ‘can I feel and express what I feel or do I have to suppress that in order to be acceptable, to be a good kid, to be a nice kid?’ Furthermore, if the parents themselves are not in touch with their feelings, they can’t tolerate the child’s feelings because they threaten them. The parent reacts against the child for having anger and the child learns, I mustn’t express what I feel, because I have to belong to my parents. If I don’t who will protect me and nurture me? Automatically we disconnect from ourselves, in order to continue to be looked after. It’s a tragic choice. It’s not even a choice the child’s not aware of making a choice. It’s an automatic process."

04.01.2022 The choice becomes very clear. Implementing this will be more difficult for some parents. If it is, that means that healing your own emotional trauma will great...ly benefit you in your efforts to raise emotionally intelligent and compassionate humans. It will no longer feel forced, you’ll feel less triggered by your child, AND you’ll learn to be unconditionally present for yourself! #CompletionProcessCertifiedPractitioner See more

02.01.2022 Hello! Michele here. I am the facilitator of Mindful Kids Blackwood. I haven't done any regular classes in Blackwood for some time now but I am looking at running some this year. I would like to add some sessions for adults and teens as well. I would love to get an idea of interest and what times/days suit people...please let me know in comments. Adult classes would involve an introduction to meditation and tips and tricks to stay on top of stress. Plus some delicious relaxation time with yummy smells and cushions! Would you be interested in.......
