Making parenting enjoyable: Through healing, purpose and Meaning

By Mav Peri

Regardless of whether you are a parent or not, this book about parenting has something to offer everyone - regardless of their age or stage in life.

To gain a better comprehension of your children, partner, family members, friends and co-workers; but more importantly to understand yourself - including the formation of your self-esteem, compulsive behavior patterns and insecurities - it is essential that you take time to reflect upon how experiences from childhood have shaped who you are today.
Parenting can be an incredibly rewarding experience when done right, but it is important to remember that taking care of children and helping them meet their developmental needs starts with addressing the trauma experienced by parents during their own childhood. As a result, the growth process must start within each parent before they can effectively help foster development in children.

This book offers a unique perspective on parenting - the Parenting Flywheel. It will provide you with an understanding of how your childhood has influenced your current style of parenting and offer strategies to heal, process, and become the parent you want to be. Through discovering purpose, meaning, and ultimately joy in being a parent this guide can help create positive change for both you and your children.

We don't have to be defined by the hardships of our childhood, and even more importantly, we can choose not to pass down those same traumas onto our loved ones. We are capable of growing emotionally beyond what we experienced during earlier stages in life, allowing us to cultivate healthy relationships with our children, partners, friends and coworkers. It is never too late to enjoy a meaningful and fulfilling life and leave behind lasting legacy that matters.Topics covered in this bookChildhood reflectionThe childhood fairy taleWhy the fairy tale is dangerousBeware of your childhood triggersThe game of thrones Childhood versionThe only goal that matters in parentingUnderstanding identityProactive ParentingProactive and reactive parentingGoals of proactive parentingSelf careBe the adult that you want your child to grow intoBe VulnerableAlways give a choiceEmbrace routinesCatch them doing wellScaffold behaviorsKeep Your PromisesDon't Impose Your Expectations On Your ChildParental loveKnowing when to ask for helpSee your child for who they areBe emotionally present with your childDevelop your emotional vocabularyListen to their concernsHave fun and be presentSet BoundariesThe school is as important as the family homeVolunteerNever forget you are the adultMake gratitude your routineMindfulnessBelieve in something greaterBe your child's expertStop chasing the extra curricular league
