Welcome to the Staying Safe Series
| Hello ! Welcome to my free course Staying Safe: Why We Yell, Why It Doesn't Work, and What To Do Instead. I am honored to be a part of your home and to teach you some life-changing tools that will add peace to your family and make parenting a whole lot easier for you. I promise! I Struggled with Being in Control A little bit about me: When our family was just starting out, I really struggled with being in control of myself. My oldest daughter (bless her heart) was unfortunately on the receiving end of all my frustration. I knew that what I was doing was wrong, but instead I directed all of those triggered and annoyed feelings onto her and what SHE was doing wrong. Fast forward several years when I learned about Positive Parenting. Life. Changing! In fact, it changed my life so much that I founded @simplyonpurpose, an Instagram feed that has grown over 650K followers in 7 years. What does it mean to "Stay Safe"? A safe parent is a parent that children want to be around and stay around! Safe parents teach children through their composure that the home is a consistent, safe environment. Children find great comfort in this because it's stability! Mom and Dad can be approached in good times and in bad! There is no shame or fear claiming those interactions. You send a consistent message to a child that "When you come to me you are met with curiosity, understanding, and love." There are so many good fruits with being a safe parent, but let me just list a few: 1) Children become better listeners. It's easy for them to hear us because we're not always yelling, and when we do say "no" they respect it because NO carries great value. 2) Children are more likely to apologize. Because there is no shame, guilt, or fear enmeshed into your relationship they'll feel safe coming to you and reconnecting with an apology. 3) Children learn respect. Through your model of self control and respect towards them, they have a stronger resolve to be better and more like you. Remember: respect is LEARNED. The question is...are YOU a Safe Parent?
