Announcing Dr. Mary’s new Facebook group “PARENTING WELL: Raising Compassionate and Productive Humans”! If you aren’t already a member, join for free here!
Admittedly, there are so many parenting resources out there that it’s easy to feel paralyzed by all the recommendations. At every side someone has “3 quick tips” for this and “7 ways to guarantee success” in that. Some people say that kids come with no manual, but perhaps there are too many manuals out there making too many promises! This is a Facebook group where we sift through all that!
In PARENTING WELL we do try to make a study of parenting, but with the acknowledgment that many of the best answers will come to us from within. We each have an inner “well” of wisdom and energy that requires renewal for us to be at our best for parenting. Psychiatrist Dan Siegel has said that the best predictor of a child’s well being is a parent’s inner self-understanding.* In PARENTING WELL, we specifically focus on the near-universal wish of dedicated parents to help their kids grow up to be good and successful adults. If this is YOUR wish, come join us! You will find an uplifting community, expert interview clips, parenting book highlights, and more.
