Parenting
- Create a supportive environment that give parents a sense of feeling less alone and more optimistic about their abilities to parent
- Review their history of parenting and the lack of any meaningful guidance in helping them raise a healthy child
- Help them see the role their parents played in their parenting attitudes; embracing the constructive influences and avoiding the destructive ones
- Help them see their role as mentors and stewards in promoting their child’s physical, emotional and spiritual health
- Teach them about their child’s neurological, emotional and spiritual developments and needs
- Provide them with the tools to hear their child’s needs and how to meet those needs
- Encourage them to help their child explore and develop his or her own authentic sense of who s/he is
- Help them create a safe home environment which will foster an openness and a challenging space for the child to become self sufficient and independent
