The Masterful Parenting Podcast - Heal Your Childhood and Parent Better Through Relational Parenting
Do you struggle in your parenting because of childhood pain? Do you sometimes repeat old patterns from your childhood? You want to be a better parent, but you don’t know how. I understand, parents. I came from dysfunction, trauma, and abuse. I didn’t know what was healthy. Over the years, as a school counsellor, and mom of two, I learned what is healthy and how to be healthy with my own children. There’s a better way to parent where you feel good and so do your children. This way can replace the old patterns so you can nurture healthy relationships with your kids. This is relational parenting. This is what I teach parents. Hi, I’m Anne Alvares, Parent Coach of the Masterful Parenting Program. In this 9 week program, I will help you to heal, gain confidence in your parenting and foster healthy relationships with your kids. You will learn how to become more self-aware, how to connect better, and ways to communicate that touches your child’s heart. I have helped many parents over the years as a high school counsellor and teacher and I am also the mother of two boys, age 23 and 13. I understand the challenges of parenting and have gained the skills to help keep peace and build relationship with your kids. And I can help you too. If you want to feel confident about your parenting, less tired, more connected, and more appreciated by your kids, then you are in the right place. Join me in my Masterful Parenting Podcast. I truly believe parents can feel empowered in their role and we can change the world one parent at a time.
