Parent educator Sarah MacLaughlin is writing a new book, Raising Humans With Heart: Not a How-To Manual. Here’s the good & the bad news: our kids are always watching us. Let’s focus on what’s important: who WE are and how that affects our relationships with children. This book brings into focus who you are as a person and parent, and how that affects your relationships with children. The parenting we know best is the parenting we received—and that’s worth unpacking! What if self-awareness and personal development were the ways to improve your family life? It is possible that building emotional intelligence and self-regulation skills will create a more peaceful home. Sometimes a reminder about child development or a tip about communication will shift the dynamic and help you get out of your own way.
