I don't know about you, but I like to imagine parenting as a marathon, not a sprint 🏃‍♀️

But it's hard to think long-term when every day feels like a race to the finish line.

It's like the parenting version Groundhog Day...

…we roll into bed exhausted, disconnected, frustrated, and anxious because we KNOW we're only hours away from doing it all again 😑

So, here's a little secret…

By making small changes to the way we parent each day, the wins start to rack up - fast.

And in the process, we create a beautiful legacy for future generations.

That's how you become a cycle breaker - by modelling a new way of parenting for your children, your grandchildren and beyond.

So where do we start? A great place is learning how to fill your child's 'buckets'.

This builds a solid foundation of love and understanding while preparing them to be amazing parents themselves one day.

Unpack the buckets analogy with me to learn the 3 tools you can use to help your child feel 'ok', connected and respected (which leads to better behavior and greater emotional regulation!).
