Busy professional parents with kids between the ages of 5-12.

My goal in creating “Unlocking love: parenting with inner peace” is to help parents develop the four pillars required for empowered parenting.

These pillars are based in neuroscience and data, but to make this intellectual material meaningful, we must connect it to our spirit. Thus, this is a spiritual course (not religious) that will encourage you to connect with your true self (AKA – your soul/atman/conscious awareness/spirit energy). You must connect to this in order to connect with your life’s purpose. If you are not intimately connected with your true self and the unique, one-of-a-kind energy you possess, you will not be able to see the same in your children, and you will fail to lead your child(ren) with inspiration and purpose.

THESE FOUR PILLARS ARE:

Direction (through connection to self/purpose)

Emotion regulation

Failure

Gratitude practice

By first getting to know your true self, and connecting to your deepest purpose, you will find the compassion to love yourself unconditionally. Once you do this, you will be able to see your child’s true inner self as well. By connecting with your child’s true self when they are struggling, you will decrease their experience of shame, and help them integrate all parts of themselves and their belief that they are loveable and valuable, just as they are.

Over time, through repetition, this will lead your child to have a strong, integrated self-identity. With this, you will be able to encourage your child to challenge themself more. When they do this repeatedly, it’s like personal training for the brain. It will make them not just strong, but “anti-fragile”, meaning that they will begin to embrace failure because they will know that challenges only make them stronger. By inviting failures, you and your children will grow fearlessly towards whatever goals you set for yourselves. With the roadmap you will create based on your family values, your entire family will be energized and inspired. This, in turn, will increase your motivation to do more good every day.

As your child(ren) grow older and enter the challenging period of adolescence, their integrated self-identity will protect them. It is based on a solid foundation of your unconditional love, and they trust you, so they know they are secure. Adolescence is a time when we make lots of mistakes. The brains of adolescents are wired to overestimate reward and underestimate risk. As a result, no one makes it through adolescence without doing a fair number of “dumb” things.

But now you and your child know that these mistakes are only learning experiences, nothing more. Neither you nor they need to over react to these little hiccups. You understand and can regain trust quickly because you still see the inner “self” in your child that remains unchanged, even as their outer body/clothes/hair/make up may change dramatically.

Building a deep connection and trust during their younger years will be the safety net they need to navigate this tenuous time safely.

The course is four weeks of pre-recorded content, on a website called Kajabi, which you can also access through a free app on your smart phone. You will immediately get access to the first week’s content after you sign up. Each week has 1-2 hours of short (5-20 minute) video lessons, which you can watch or listen to at your leisure.

The educational component consists of four weekly modules, and for the month you are enrolled, you will be invited to weekly live question and answer sessions with me. If you can’t attend, these will be recorded and available for you to view later on Kajabi.

You should consider signing up for this course only IF and WHEN you are at a point of wanting to take some action in upping your emotional mastery skills, as an adult who is a parent. The course provides information that is supremely useful, and tools we all should have been taught, but weren’t. That said, watching or listening is not going to lead to a change in your experience of life. You will only get value from this if you’re ready to act and practice with the exercises and tools I provide you.

If you’re co-parenting, it will be best to take this course with your partner, though it is not required. Encourage them to join you for at least some of the lessons, and talk to them about what you are learning. Supporting each other to try new ways of reacting, and building a plan together based on shared goals will be key to your success.

The impact this course has on you and your relationship with your child(ren) will depend on you. I can’t guarantee results, because I can’t guarantee your action. That said, I am only happy if you are happy. After your purchase, you have 7 days to explore the material and decide whether the value of the material exceeds the price you paid. If you decide that it is not of value to you, just email admin@theparentdoctor.com to request a refund.

You will be surprised how much your paradigm shift and a few minutes a day of practicing with some new tools will impact your mood, emotional reactivity, and energy just in the first four weeks. You will also notice that as you start to change, your kids also start to change.

The most change will come at the beginning, but new habits take consistent effort to remain part of your life, and it’s vital that you continue practicing your new skills regularly to continue to see improvements in the areas that brought you here.

After the first four weeks, you will continue to have access to the course videos and downloads. Once you’ve graduated from the course, you will have the opportunity to join my private community where you will have a place to share your wins and get support from other action-taking super parents, as well as have ongoing access to live monthly webinars and “coffee talks” with me.

It is well known that for change to happen, you need to:

1. be motivated (the pain of maintaining the status quo must outweigh the discomfort caused by trying something new),

2. change a habit by changing the action associated with a cue and building in a reward, and

3. having an accountabilty partner increases your chance of success 400% vs. going it alone

If you’ve read this far, I assume you’re at least contemplating whether you’re motivated enough to change. I think you are! Don’t second guess yourself, sign up now and poke around, you have nothing to lose, and oh so much to gain. See you soon!
