Affirmations for children

What are affirmations, and why are they important for children? Self-affirmations are positive statements or self-scripts that can condition the subconscious mind to help you develop a more positive perception of yourself. They provide the ‘blueprint’ from which the conscious mind operates from. Affirmations can help you to change harmful behaviours or accomplish goals, and they can […]

Why “don’t” doesn’t work!

Change the word “don’t”, and change your life! It can be so exhausting being a parent, particularly when our kids continue to do the things we tell them not to do!

Becoming conscious of how we program the subconscious mind of our children Think about it, as parents, we literally are the “electricians” that wire the ” emotions” of our children.

We’re not raising “children”, we’re raising adults!

Before I begin making my point on this article, I want to start by giving you my belief system, so that you understand why I feel the importance to share this message… I believe every single one of us is a born LEADER… every single baby is born screaming and demanding for everything it wants, […]

Give your kids guidance, NOT advice!

Their ‘internal guidance system’ will serve them better than your ‘parental guidance system’ ever will. Teach them how to be conscious of it. Today was a big day for me!
