Consistent Parenting Advice
Are you
looking for consistent parenting advice
that does and will work?
After years of parenting involvement, both with my own family
and many other families too, my observation is that being a
consistent parent is both vitally important and totally necessary to
ensure a happy family life.
However, becoming a consistent parent is rather like trying to push water uphill if we are not consistent
within our selves.
Welcome to our Home page!
Hello, I'm Helen, editor of this website.
That's me on the left of the photo, along with my eldest daughter and my grandson.
I have been a family counsellor and parent educator for many years, while also raising a family of four and becoming a proud grandmother.
I am constantly updating my education, both as a counsellor and in the field of parenting.
My Motto
is -
Be Clear, Be Firm, Be Consistent
My particular emphasis is on parents' emotional growth and maturity
with the focus on self esteem, addressing feelings and habits, stress,
relationship issues, responsibility and change.
Raising children can bring us astonishing happiness, enormous
responsibility, incredible anxiety, and the stress of constant
challenges. It isn't too difficult to lose sight of what we as parents really want; happy and well adjusted children within a happy and well adjusted family.
Young families are often swamped with a mountain of parenting advice and information. Amongst the copious trends available today is an abundance of advice on parenting styles. These range from a baby-led approach to a strongly authoritarian parenting style.
Instead
of suggesting yet another style, this website addresses HOW to adopt a
firm, clear, consistent parenting approach. This enables you
as parents, to enhance and increase your emotional well-being.
Your
whole family will blossom and
grow.
