*16:51 “everything about me has been pushed to grow…you’re just forced up against the truth that you’re not in control. “ Christine Carter, Ph.D. Author of The Sweet Spot and Raising Happiness

Dr. Laura Markham www.AhaParenting.com

*19:40- 1:07:15

*21:20* Coaching not controlling our children-How can we see it from the child’s perspective? What shifts and changes?

*23:16*

“Nothing triggers primal emotions like parenting.”

*27.19*

You don’t have to do everything at once. You know, I think it’s important for parents to realize that in a way you can postpone everything but love.

*28:18*
“For me the hardest thing to learn and maybe the most important, this was for me, but I think it’s important for all parents, is don’t expect perfection from them or from you. You’re human. You don’t have to be perfect. What matters is that you go for love as much as you can. “

*29:42*
“We need to spend more time talking about the good enough mother. This is not about bad versus perfect. It’s really about good enough.” Dr. Alexandra Sachs

*33:27*- Accepting Emotions
“One particular way to accept the emotions, is when your kid is very upset is letting them cry. If they need to. And most parents think they have to stop crying or fixed crying or send the kid away if they cry. And actually sometimes we all just need to cry. “

*37:00- Making bedtime ‘easier’.

*48:00 mins: How to navigate and nurture sibling relationships.

*55:18 “It is true that sibling dynamics push our buttons more than just about anything else.”

*01:08:45 Ellen Bettmann, How has motherhood changed you?

*01:11:56 Madonna Maher
“We look at our children and we say stop being immature, but they are immature. It takes a long time to grow.”

*01:13:33- 01:48:45 Dr. Deborah MacNamara www.MacNamara.ca

Rest Play, Grow, Making Sense of Preschoolers (Or Anyone Who Acts Like One)

*01:16:22
Young children don’t multitask, think twice or say things like, part of me feels like throwing a train at your head while the other side of me thinks I should use my words instead. “

*01:17:48
“Emotional maturity doesn’t mean a parent is no longer stirred up by their feelings in relationship to their child. Emotional maturity is how we accept and make room for the feelings our children raise in us”

*01:50:49
Tracy Cutchlow, www.ZerotoFive.net

“Parenting for hours on end is exhausting mental work just from a brain perspective and involves staying constantly alert, focusing attention and ignoring distractions, intuiting and responding to another person’s needs, one after the other, and acting with empathy and self control.”

*01:53:31
Karen Brody. www. DaringtoRest.com

*01:55:30
“What crazy person doesn’t rest when they’re tired. I put my kids down for a nap every day to keep them from feeling exhausted. Why not me? Why was I grabbing for so many remedies? Even healthy remedies like high powered yoga workouts in green smoothies to rescue me when rest was the most obvious remedy. Why don’t we just rest when we’re tired? “

*02:01:31

I immediately felt supported when I first visited Dr. Laura’s phenomenal web site AhaParenting.com, which has been my go- to resource from the time I was first pregnant to this moment as a mother of two boys aged 6 and 4.

She is a compassionate parenting expert that brings in mindfulness, emotional regulation, coaching and teaching peace into her work. There is so much to gain from who she is as a parent and an educator.
