Calling All Parents . . .
Do your children ever say
“Smile, Mommy” or “Smile, Daddy” ??
Easier said than done?
Before we had our children we dreamed about the days when we could hold and play with our babies.
Along the way, though, for most families what we hoped for collided with the reality of day to day life.
Our best of intentions as a parent squared off with the constant needs of an infant, the independence-seeking toddler and the socially developing preschooler.
We discovered that parenting is not as easy or as fun as we thought it would be. And your children know it.
What can be done?
How can you present a happier face to your children?
How can your family life be more fun?
How can your children feel more loved?
This parenting workshop will focus on strategies you can use to bring more joy into your home even while preserving your place as the authority figure in the family.
You can become happier as a person and as a parent. If you are interested in taking the first step on the journey of becoming happier parent . . . then, you are invited to register for this free upcoming teleseminar:
“Become a Happier Parent”
In this workshop you will prompted to discover what happiness means to you and how you can claim your share. You will begin to answer these questions:
- Do you wonder why you feel so miserable if you are supposed to be so happy?
- Do you ever wonder what happiness is anyways?
- What are your hot button issues that cause you so much unhappiness?
- What can you do to decrease the frequency and the impact of those issues NOW?
- When are you the most happy with your children?
- Who can you rely on to support you as you parent well?
- How can you start to “move the needle” in the direction of becoming a happier parent?
This 90 minute telephone session will include time for your parenting questions.
Why now?
Identifying the root causes of your happiness and then addressing them will give you new energy and more happiness as you parent your children. Your relationships with your children will improve when you are happier when you are with them, and they will know notice the change right away.
Deciding to take action to change what needs to change and not just venting about what you wish was different will give you the positive momentum you need to grow a happier family.
Why this workshop?
If you have had a nagging feeling that the happy days in your family are few and far between, then please know that you can begin to take steps to decrease the causes of your unhappiness and to increase those times that bring you joy.
