Adoptive & Foster Parenting Lesson Learned in the Trenches

When I was a young mom before we adopted our girls, I learned that my boys would rise to my belief in them.

Lots of my friends would complain about their babies not being able to get rid of their pacifier or be weaned off of the bottle and they were so frustrated. They were feeling the pressure from family and daycare to grow their children up. And the stress of things like difficult bedtimes or potty training had even become a strain in their marriages.

They were so stressed and so were their kids. 

I learned early on that if I was unsure of or couldn't envision those milestones happening, they didn't. When I knew it would be fine, my boys sailed right through. We were both at the same place.  

Then we adopted our daughters and for a time I lost that mindset. It didn't seem to work anymore. They weren't sailing through. I began to question myself and my parenting. I even lost hope that things would get better. I just couldn't see how things would change. 

It began working again when I learned to meet my daughters right where THEY were at.  We needed to be at the same place and I needed to make the move. I realized that they needed the chance to work through their childhood with me as their mom. They needed me to know they could do it too.

When I knew, believed, & had hope...so did they. 

Here's the thing...if you can't see that break-through and healing is possible, you won't find it. It won't work.  

It IS POSSIBLE! You will "know" you can get your family to happy and healthy when you have to have the tools and strategies at your fingertips that will make the difference. Your vision is clearer when you are surrounded by people who are on the same journey. And your confidence in meeting your children right where they are at comes from the support of a mentor who has walked your path and is on the other side. 

The Intentional Parent Coaching Group is where I can show you how to meet your children right where they are at so that they can get to happy and healthy!
