Does this resonate as parenting advice?

This passage about hiding from the rain is a beautiful metaphor for parenting. When our children are small, they run on entirely different clocks. In adult’s lives, 6 months is a relatively insignificant amount of time. Adults don’t typically make transformative changes in only six months. But all babies do. The rate at which their minds and bodies evolve is nearly incomprehensible to many parents. We describe it as a blur, they change “in the blink of an eye” because our clocks are so slow compared to theirs. Recognizing that their pace and our own pace are running on different clocks can be a huge mindset shift. How do we adjust our ideas about time to be present with their rapid growth? How do we honour their clocks in a world that has a very narrow view of how time is measured?

Of course there are thousands of little things that influence confidence. Some days we feel our power and some days there is doubt. Support systems and access and communication and economic status play big parts… but values are the undercurrent. They will influence how you show up in all these areas. Are you aware of how your values show up in your day to day? #values #confidence #parenting @values.aligned.parent

Food! This is such a tough one. Many of us have complicated relationships with food. What kind of food should we buy? How should we deliver it? Is it good for us? Good for the world? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔Then our babies are born and the first measure of parental success is how much we can feed and grow that tiny person. It’s no wonder that food is a stressful topic for so many parents (and kids). 🥣🍼Are your eating and feeding routines rooted in your core values or do they come from a place of fear? #Food #FeedingKids #Values #CoreValues #Fear #ParentingCoach

When it comes to health, relationships and mindset I think proactive practices are key. Parenting braids these three together so tightly that it is nearly impossible to talk about one without the others. I provide parental support from a prevention based perspective. My goal is to give you the tools you need, before you need them. I never want you to feel like you're parenting with an empty tool box.
