Praise

Dear Caron,
I am an RN and just started a new job in a mental health facility. The focus is on children and adolescence. We do a daily "group" with them. We may pick the topic the only criteria being "education" of some sort. I wanted to offer some valuable coping skills kids could use. So, I went to the computer and spent over an hour clicking on lists of Internet items looking for help. I was getting very tired and needed to go to bed. When bingo" I found your article on kids, trauma, and coping skills! I just wanted to say a great big thank-you for your helpful article!
Sincerely ,
Charlotte Rogers

 

 

 

The Parenting Promise

Be Aware and Care.
Yes, I am stating my intention to be
a more aware and caring parent.
Yes, I am making a commitment to
be aware of my words and actions
and the effect that they have on my child.
Yes, I am willing to be more caring
and compassionate whenever possible.

Use our version!

 
In the promise, what does "Aware" mean?

To be aware of our parenting is to watch what effect we have in our communication and in our interactions.

To be aware means to make a choice to "try another way" if what we are saying and doing isn't working.

To be aware means to make conscious choices for the greater benefit of all involved.

 
In the promise, what does "Care" mean?

"Care" means "to take care" in how we speak and how we act so that we are effective and achieve the most desirable results for the situation.

"Care" means to take that deep breath before we react in an inappropriate way; and then ask, "Is this the most effective way to handle this?"

"Care" means to make opportunities to appreciate and be grateful for our children in order to foster the same within.
