24.01.2022 The Course in Miracles teaches that all behaviour is either an expression of love or a call for love. Never was this principle more vital, nor more pronounced, than with regards to the small child.

21.01.2022 Relationship is KEY If I want to PAUSE instead of 'losing it' (and I do) I have to put the relationship with myself FIRST. That is just the way it is. ...Continue reading

21.01.2022 More than ever, our children need us to be conscious and willing to participate in difficult conversations. I already know this is an important, deeply worthwhile read...from one of my favourite people. Maggie Dent.

15.01.2022 No doubt at all!

14.01.2022 This is my journey every single day - Imperfectly moving toward love and away from the old Broken records. Some days are better than others!

13.01.2022 We really don't need to force and we don't need to punish. Take a moment. I highly recommend Dr Laura Markham's content - it aligns beautifully with my own philosophy and well, it just makes sense!

12.01.2022 Sometimes, there are unmet needs you do not know you have. Usually, these are the needs you need most deeply.

11.01.2022 Is this you? You are a: MOTHER of young children Who is: Determined to parent without yelling, threatening or spanking But: find you are repeating this cycle and you feel frustrated, overwhelmed and powerless You Experience: guilt and remorse ... You: want a way out. If this is you, I would LOVE to hear from you. Please book in time HERE (or PM me) to chat with me via zoom You will be asked a list of questions (without judgment!!!) relating to the above statements and you will HELP ME IMMENSELY. If this is you (OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW) I have been working tirelessly (and enthusiastically) to bring my parenting course ONLINE, with a bunch of resources specifically intended for a Mother like you. My intention is to BE A HAND; to give you permission to be imperfect, guide you away from guilt and remorse WHILE showing you research-based strategies for connecting and redirecting. The magic, I have found, is in knowing YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I have four shirts to give away to four beautiful brave Women. Book in time here and I will be in touch! All my love, Beck

08.01.2022 When the Mother in me began to take form during pregnancy, a barrage of quiet, insidious commentary began to creep into my quiet moments; when I was driving, falling asleep, on awakening, the quiet pause between the busyness. At that time I lived in the rainforest, surrounded by giant trees, birdlife, and constant beauty. Yet, what I was projecting onto my world, in that treehouse, was a quiet, ugly terror. "Who was I to bring a child into this world? Would my child be saf...e, healthy, happy? Would I, with my finite strength, protect my child from all the unknowns?" "What about the birth? Breastfeeding? Milestones? Was I even good enough?" And, the big one, "Was I a fraud?" My life experience has taught me to talk - to get a 'reality check'. Finally, I rang an older, wiser friend. As she listened I could hear a shift in her silence. When it was her turn to talk she said, "Beck, you need to stop this now. Just stop. It's time. No more." Although it hurt, at that moment she gave me permission to stop. Motherhood could not afford my harsh self-criticism. Marianne Williamson famously wrote, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us." So, I say to you, "NO MORE." It is time for you to accept yourself, for who you are and where you have come. You are the only you, your child has. Moreover, I truly believe your authentic 'you-ness' makes you powerful beyond measure. Today, when I find myself shaming myself - even if that voice is very quiet and sneaky - I say, just as I would to a child who is stuck on a broken record, "No more." This practice does not let me 'off the hook'. In fact, it allows me to see what my intuition - my unique inner-guidance - would have me see. I have just enough energy in a day and if I am focusing on what I am not, then I will have nothing left for the good. Acceptance of who I am, truly IS my pathway to peace. Always. Are you willing to accept yourself just as you are today, in all your imperfections? If not, are you willing to be willing? I believe in you.

07.01.2022 Some words of wisdom for parents of our more sensitive, reserved creatures. I have two!

06.01.2022 Why are our, otherwise blessed and well cared for children, behaving in ways that upset us? First of all, we know that all misbehaviour is your child communicating a need. Let me unpack what might be driving that need. The first place I want you to consider is their environment. ... In the Montessori Children's House for 3-6-year-olds, there are three factors that influence the child's ability to unfold and develop according to their developmental age and natural tendencies. The first is the physical environment. That is, the beautiful and appropriate equipment laid out in a manner that is accessible, ordered, and enticing. This environment is laid out in such a manner, that children need very little adult interference. The material, by its design, creates the limits children need. The second is the relationship between adults in the classroom. This relationship, by its vital nature and the absorbent quality of the child's mind, speaks louder than words. The third is a group of children. The children in a learning environment, influence each other's ability to settle, concentrate, and unfold with ease. There is no need to exclude children for this reason, but rather, it asks us (the adults) to accommodate individual needs accordingly so that all children have an optimal chance at success. Similarly, at home, children's behavior is directly influenced by their environment. According to Rudolph Dreikurs, there are three broad environmental factors that influence children's behaviour at home. Firstly, children respond directly to the limits offered by their caregivers. That is the particular parental response to their behaviours. Positive, peaceful discipline encourages parents to practice a 'kind and firm' response - always. Second, is the atmosphere. That is the relationship between parents or caregivers. Are you experiencing tension? Is there an addiction? Are you willing to own your own fears and meet your own needs? Lastly, the family constellation. That is your child's role and place within the family. Are they first or last born? Is there competition between children. Is one child unwell or otherwise needing more parental attention? The first question I ask myself (usually) is this: "How am I, and how are we (my husband and I)?" The second question is: "How are my children experiencing their roll in our family? Your new perspective allows you to take a look at what is happening in the world of your children. In doing so, you are taking your gaze away from them and looking toward yourself. You are not expected to be perfect. That is a story. You are simply being asked to be willing to see what is true. You are empowering yourself, to empower them. You are breaking the mold and a cycle of blaming the child. You are a superhero.
