Do you want to aqcuire the tools and community to lead a Home That Heals?
Every child deserves a home where they can heal from the inevitable hurts of life.
If you are parenting in today’s world–and care about a better world for all children–you know that…
😵💫 Being a kid is exciting and full of wonder. But it can also be hard and scary.
🥺 Feelings can be really overwhelming. And most grownups don’t know how to help children move through them in a healthy way.
😣 Kids want to cooperate and belong. But their immature brains can make it hard to move past the stuck feelings that get in the way of showing up the way they would want to.
❤️🩹 Our world is hurting a lot right now. And we need to be as loved and connected as possible to bring our best thinking and actions towards building something better for all families.
😕 You have the desire and hope to create a connected home for your child. But your childhood home was not as emotionally safe as you needed it to be, and now you have some learning to do around how to make it happen.
🥰 The ability to heal from life’s daily hurts is a fundamental part of experiencing well-being. And home is the best place for your child to learn how to do it.
😩 The effects of capitalism, racism, greed and hyper individualism can make the world a scary place for so many families. And we need a safe space to recover from the effects of these forces.
Your child needs their home to be their safe space, from the early years through the teen ones…and beyond.
As children explore the world around them–whether they walk out the front door or engage with it through a screen–they will find so much to delight in, that excites them, that brings them joy.
And they will also see and experience:
Realities that feel scary, hard, upsetting and confusing.
Ideas and information that are not appropriate for their age.
Situations that are unjust, that promote stereotypes, and that perpetuate the mistreatment and exclusion of certain groups of people.
Messages that children are inferior and can be treated as such.
Adults who do not respect children’s needs for care, opinions or right to be themselves.
Oftentimes, these experiences will be painful. And while it is very much our work to protect them from harm, it is not our work as parents to shield them from every painful truth.
We can’t hide away in homes that are entirely closed off from the world, cut off from the interconnectedness and community with others that we need.
Rather, it is our job to provide them with homes that heal.
Homes where…
🤍 A strong culture of listening allows for children’s feelings to flow and settle,
🤍 Rituals of delight and connection remind them that it is good to be human,
🤍 Skills for mending the hurts caused by conflict show them that it is possible and safe to connect after having been hurt,
🤍 A culture of nonviolence reinforces everyone’s right to be treated with respect,
🤍 The freedom to play provides the necessary conditions for emotional processing and release,
🤍 The space to grieve well allows the daily hurts and disappointments to be seen and healed,
🤍 Strong values around caring and mutual support encourage outlets for participating in social change,
This kind of home does not require:
😒 A perfectly “healed” parent,
🥱 An impeccably sustainable lifestyle, unaffected by the demands of modern day life,
👎 A home without struggle, conflict and moments of stress.
But it does come from:
YOU having the right teachings, tools and support to:
Strengthen yourself as the leader of both your own, and your child’s growth and healing journeys,
Provide your child with the kind of parent child relationship that is required for proper emotional development,
Instill and model values that reinforce the felt-sense of nonviolence, safety and connection that they experience in your home,
Find the meaning and joy in coming together around the most ordinary, and even life’s most painful realities,
Join each other in shared intentions, hopes and actions for a more supportive, connected and just world.
Parents who are healing years after their childhoods, sometimes hope that they can give thier children a childhood that they won’t have to heal from. But this is not possible or necessary.
What we do need, are homes where your children can heal in real time.
So that their wounds don’t hold them back from showing up in the world fully present for all of the gifts that they came to receive and give.
For the past five years, I have been helping parents like you to do this in their homes, and on Friday, September 26th, I’ll be teaching you how to do it for free at my LIVE webinar:
A Home That Heals
Cultivate a home where your child can recover from life’s daily hurts, restore their sense of wonder, and move through the world with the confidence to make it better.
Didn’t make it live? That’s okay. Catch the replay at the top of this page.
