I remember getting some guidance that transformed my experience of the craziness of parenthood. 

To see our children as our greatest teachers, and parenting as a spiritual practice. 

This seemed to bring on a much richer and more fulfilling meaning to the reality a house that looked like a bomb had hit it – and the fighting and arguing that would break out at the most socially embarrassing times. It led me to play with the idea of parenting as a creative act. How can I respond differently?

Pause and ask yourself some powerful questions in the middle of the hard difficult situations that can preserve your sanity and shift your mindset.

What is funny about this situation?

What can I learn from this situation?

What is this situation/ moment inviting me to be, do, think, feel?

These questions in the moment, are far more powerful than;

Why now? Why won’t you go to sleep? Why won’t you listen to me?

Have a play with power questions and watch what happens.

Stay open and creative,
