The parenting workshop really helped me reframe how I view parenting. I am the mother of 4 and I was feeling exhausted and drained trying to control my children's behavior. The parenting workshop opened my eyes to the importance of connecting emotionally with my children. It freed me from feeling the need to control my children's behavior and taught me to let my children emote, to play a supporting role rather than a controlling role. I'm still in the process of reframing but I've already seen the effects. The other day, one of my daughters was having a tantrum. Rather than trying to stop it, she got it out and I asked if she needed a hug. She wanted one and was immediately back to her happy self. For me, it was much less exhausting than trying to stop the tantrum. Slowly but surely, I am seeing my emotional connection with my children grow.
