What's your favourite parenting tool or strategy that works for you every
time?

TOP TIP: How to help people to untangle their mixed up feelings: - Restate
their problem as a question like this: 'So the Question seems to be: How do
you express that you are feeling unloved at home without self harming?'

A parent being forced to do parenting programmes doesn't necessarily work!
If the parent is not willing to embrace the learning on the programmes, just
like any other course, they are wasting their time. The emphasis for me is
to work with the parent in respect of the ROOT CAUSE of their challenges.
Inadequate or inappropriate parenting is simply a SYMPTOM of what is going
on at the root cause or root level.

As I am making my sales calls for the past couple of days, it appears that
the rise in self harm in young people is increasing to the extent where
staff are both overwhelmed and baffled at the same time, as to what would
lead them to self harm in the way that they do.

The strongest among the weak is the one who doesn't forget his weaknesses.
- Danish Proverb

Oh Lord, Bless our YOUNG PEOPLE from us 'adults' who can't do, won't do,
should do, shouldn't do, refuse to do, that which we expect and tell our
young people to do!, BUT wish we (adults) could do!

Oh and yeah, help us adults to develop the COURAGE to do that which we
expect our young to do.

Often adults talk about young people not taking responsibility for their
actions. Often adults haven't shown young people HOW to take responsibility!
That is, adults haven't lead the way or been a good role model for young
people to learn how to take responsibility. Adults? = parents, teachers,
society as a whole

All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what
their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day
toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose. Brian Tracy

Question: If you were to do just one thing that, if you did it consistently
it would make a difference in your business or your life, what would that
one thing be?

As parents, sometimes we make mistakes. What challenges me sometimes
however, are some parents who would rather focus ALL their attention on
'fixing' their child than on perhaps seeking how they could make some
changes tooo. Hey we're humans - parents or otherwise. Let's face it - we
will mess up! It's ok to make mistakes providing we acknowledge and learn
from them!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure. It is
our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most...We were born to make
manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own
light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our
presence automatically liberates others. - Marianne Williamson, American
author and lecturer

Happy Happy International Women's Day to all women across the world

Off to another Easy Tiger Parents Programme on this sunny day. Some parents
on this particular programme thought that there were only a couple ways of
disciplining their children. Thankfully, as a result of this Programme they
are wiser about the many choices they have including looking at ALTERNATIVES
to punishment

There are no bad parents! Only parents performing the parenting role with
the resources they have at that given time

Had a frosty start to the morning but now It's an absolutely glorious sunny
morning here in Birmingham UK

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, But still I can
do something; And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do. ~ Edward Everett Hale
