Parents the world over desire close and loving relationships with their children. Through years of experience we have found that the most powerful way to strengthen and grow those relationships is by delighting in the unique individuals your children are. And the best way to do that is to honor their strengths! In this course the focus will be on noticing your children in deep and meaningful ways, through activities and practices that will enhance your capacity for fully seeing your children and knowing them in a clearer, more loving way. This practice is about noticing your own strengths as a parent / guardian as well, and discovering how the simple practice of noticing can change the quality of your connection with your children for the better. We hope by using the practices involved in the R.A.I.S.E. acronym, you’ll be able to bring up the children in your life and elevate your relationships in loving and kind ways, so that they may become the best versions of themselves. A wonderful byproduct of focusing on your children’s strengths will be to identify and honor your own strengths! These practices can help create a safer, more loving relationship that can also change past models of parenting that no longer serve you or your children.
