This Teleseminar, presented by Patty Wipfler, Founder of Hand in Hand Parenting, and others, offers a clear description of why parenting is hard, how we parents respond, and how we can find a way out.   Patty outlines the conditions for parents.  She talks about the

  • External conditions – lack of pay, lack of training, breaks, time off, and the 24/7 requirements; the
  • Internal conditions – where our own experiences, stored in implicit memory, are triggered by our children’s emotions; • Results – for parents, include isolation, guilt, confusion, and exhaustion; and the
  • Solutions: the time to be listened to without criticism or blame, with respect and warmth.

She demonstrates how this listening process works – offering listening time to two parents on the call for 5 minutes each.

This is one of my favourite Teleseminars, and I recommend it highly.
