I will start from the end. One day I woke up and realized I was being fully realized, complete. Sounds good but it didn't happen like that. It was always my imagination that it would be like that. I always waited for the day when I will be enlightened. But something beautiful happened on the way. I started to accept...
It was on Halloween 2020, full moon.
A story of butterfly's realization
Your child has needs, but so do you. If your child's behaviour triggers you in some way check your own needs. Choose conscious breathing with yourself. See what that need is and how can you be there for yourself and fullfil that need. That is loving yourself.
Every mother knows what mom guilt is. There is no such thing as being a perfect mother. Mother can only be real and aligned with her truth or not. If we are true to ourselves we are opening up a potential for our children so that they can be true to them selves. To know who we really are and accept ourselves first is the most we can give to the next generations.
Learning in nature happens magically by unfolding the life. While being in nature, children unfold the mysteries of life, and with that they learn about life, it's cycles, about the birth and death process. While being in the flow of life children can explore their potentials, facets of their personality, be with who they are, not what others want them to be.
Postpartum mother needs to be nourished so she can open her wings and take care of the whole world of a child. Postpartum, the period of six weeks after the delivery can be overwhelming. Recovery from birth, new baby to take care of, breastfeeding (or not), connection with the baby... What if there is someone who can be there to help and support the mother while coping with the new situation, give her useful information, listen to her story, give her a massage, take care of the baby while she showers, support her in breastfeeding process and connecting with her baby, and more. That is why postpartum doulas are here :).
Natural learning without borders is a holistic approach where a child explores the world and learns freely, based on their interests. By being present, engaged, connected we can provide a safe and nurturing space for a child to be free and sovereign in their learning process and life
You can connect with your child even before and during the pregnancy. Feel and sense your child and listen to your intuition. Love and trust yourself. Educate yourself, but first of all feel yourself.
Understanding child development and providing safe, nurturing and supporting environment through connection,communication and engagement opens the door for a child to unfold their true self, and their unique potentials.
There is no one simple answer to what is good parenting. Every family is unique, has different belief systems, lives in different surroundings, has different ancestry, ways they connect and show love for each other. So try not to judge others and see them as they are.
