The Revolution will not be televised!

Now some of you might be wondering, "what is the Re-Parenting Revolution?" The answer is that it is a way of Parenting that involves consciously looking at the way we were parented and then unlearning or un-parenting ourselves from all the negative thinking and conditioning we have from our past, and then parenting our children in a way that takes into account what the needs of the child may be.
None of us are born knowing how to parent and we are bombarded by the media with expert opinions and thoughts and we have forgotten to look within. The Re-Parenting Revolution is just that, a complete cycle where we are identifying how we were parented and acknowledging what worked and what wasn't so good. Next we are Un-Parenting ourselves or Un-learning all the negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that no longer serve us and can be of no use to our children. This may include things like spanking, name-calling, or just passing on behaviors that will not serve our children. The third step of the Revolution is to parent our children with intention.
This means that we must then put into practice what we have learned about ourselves by parenting our children in a way that plays to their strengths. It is coming from a child-centered approach that takes into consideration what is best for the child. We no longer react to behaviors of our children as if they were happening to us, because we have looked at why we are responding the way we are because of our own childhood. We begin to see the connection to the fact of why certain behaviors in our children either make us so proud or angry and frustrated.
This is the beginning of the revolution...The Re-Parenting Revolution.
In Peace and Love,
