One of my focuses this year is going to be supporting and working with more and more parents as they navigate the challenges of bringing up children in todays world.
It’s a world where parents are feeling more and more helpless and powerless than ever before. A world where we have been more isolated than ever before from our own extended families and communities. Stuck, living up to the image of what we think parenting might be. Ironically this is happening at a time when we have never had as much instant access to experts, information on child development, top tips for getting through the summer holidays and parenting hacks.
But is parenting really just a set of skills learnt and guided by current experts. Or is it that we are getting further and further away from our children and losing touch with our natural intuition.
Through Compassionate Inquiry I offer parents a place to explore what’s happening for you with one aim of bringing children back towards the care of parents and communities and away from the notion that parenting is a set of skills to learn, practice and implement.
