3/28/2019 0 Comments Motherhood: Rising From The AshesBecoming a mother... it can be beautiful and magical and fulfilling and lovely and life changing in all the best ways. We have been surrounded for centuries by carefully curated images that show us this perspective of motherhood. What many of us don’t see, is that birth is also an ending; a forging in the fire; a death and a rebirth.

As a passionate and vocal advocate for respectful connected parenting, and as the neurodivergent mother of a PDA Autistic tween and a pre-diagnosed ADHD child.... one of the questions I often hear is "What about when a child "needs consequences? What about when they NEED to be punished? What do you do then? Because sometimes 'a talk and a hug' isn't enough you know. I want MY kids to grow up to be good people not spoiled brats"
If you ask most who are advocates for consequences or punishment of children what they believe the purpose is, they'll inevitably say something about teaching that actions have consequences and give an adult example like “if you get caught speeding you get a ticket not a cozy heart to heart and a hug” You know what though? Kids aren't stupid, and kids are not adults! |
