Conscious parenting is a shift of awareness, it is not a set of rules for parents to follow, but rather a change of perception between the roles of parent and child. It is more a set of beliefs that aim to equip parents with what children need in order to develop and thrive.

Conscious parenting engages and connects with the child using emotionally intelligent choices and method of discipline which embrace decency and respect towards the child as the whole being that they are, it’s not seeing them as less than simply due to their age.

A child’s brain blossoms with connection and empathy and Conscious Parenting methods offer children just that, as opposed to other punitive methods of raising our precious little ones.

Natalie Vires is the Playroom Fairy, she teaches conscious parenting through the power of play, and she believes that the world can be saved one fun moment at a time. It was such an honor to explore this belief system with her and I must say...

Timing is everything! Natalie and I recorded this episode in early August as I was prepping it for publication it was the exact message I needed as a gentle reminder as to why I’ve taking in the initiative to parent my child the way that I do.

Whether the term Conscious Parenting is new to you, or your an avid practitioner of this empowering style, this episode is an eye opener for caregivers of all types. Our children are often here to teach us just as much if not more about life as we have to teach them. Triggered moments can be an opportunity to dive within and every day stresses can easily be diffused with a small dose of silliness.

So do yourself a favor and have some fun today with your little one!
