Lektion 1
Being A Mindful Parent
In this opening lesson of Moment By Moment Parenting, we start by looking at mindfulness and the impact that the parent's emotional status has on their child. We then take a broad perspective of the holistic developing child including the brain wave activity and what that means, the development of the energy system (chakras) through the developing years as well as the earthly experiences of both the young and older child and preteen.
Lektion 2
The Holistic Development Of Ages 0 - 7 Years
In this lesson, we discuss the foundation years from a holistic perspective. We consider the world from the angle of the young child and notice opportunities where we as adults can balance the needs of the young child with our own. What happens when a child is forced into experiences too soon because they 'appear' ready? What is the language that this age group understands? These and other questions are addressed.
Lektion 3
The Holistic Development Of Ages 7 - 14 Years
In this lesson, we discuss the holistic development of the middle to later childhood range, the years of much learning, creativity, and imagination. This is the time when the child 'wakes up' and realizes their individuality. How can we as parents support this transition? What is the optimal manner in which to communicate with children in this developmental stage? These and other relevant questions will be answered.
Lektion 4
Self-Reflection
In this experiential exercise, we ponder 3 valuable questions to stimulate self-awareness as a parent. You will need some quiet time and space to delve deep into the subconscious. Have a pen and paper handy for making notes afterward.
