SEVEN TIPS TO BECOME A MORE PEACEFUL PARENT

Adopting a peaceful approach to parenting brings ore grounded family dynamic. Let's look about a more at how to get started

- 

As parents, we’re always trying to provide the best love and care possible to our children. It can take some adjusting but transitioning to a more peaceful parenting style can bring a new sense of calm to your household. It may not be straightforward (there are bound to be a few hitches along the way!) but with the right attitude, you will definitely get there.

A TRANSITION PERIOD

Though the intention of peaceful parenting is to bring a sense of tranquillity to your relationships with your little ones, they may not respond peacefully from the beginning.

Initially, children may act out more than before. This is simply their way of expressing the hurt they may have felt around being treated less peacefully in the past. If you persist with the peaceful approach, they will soon be able to move on and embrace this new style of relationship.

PARENTING GUILT

Some parents might feel guilty about acting more harshly towards their children in the past. While this is natural, it will not help you or your child in the present. Be forgiving towards yourself and focus on engaging with your little one in a peaceful and loving manner.
