Voices of Your Village ·

2019/07/18

Have you ever really thought about what causes disappointment you experience in life? If you break it down, disappointment is usually a result of your expectations not being met in a situation. It wasn’t until a four year old said to me, “That wasn’t my expectation,” that I had this “ah ha” moment that became the biggest game changer in emotion processing for me. How does being self aware of our expectations aid in emotion processing for ourselves? How can this self awareness help us help our kiddos

Raise your hand if you entered parenthood with feelings, expectations, and experiences from your own childhood that affect who you are as a parent. Yep, all hands in the air. The thing is, in order to be the parents we want to be, we have to look at what we are bringing to the table. At the end of the day it can absolutely feel like your kiddo is deliberately not picking up their toys when they know better. We are inclined to punish the child for not obeying the rule. How can we reframe this and see

On this episode of Voices of Your Village, we’re diving into how to foster a relationship of trust with our tiny humans.

In today’s episode of Voices of Your Village, our sleep consultant Rachel gives us the low down on newborn sleep.
