“Our children come through us, not for us, but for the lessons they reflect to us, during their journey, in an effort to grow us up along the way.”

When we were young we were told that children should be seen and not heard. Now – as parents ourselves, we are told that our children’s needs are paramount. Somewhere along the line we have missed out!   We are often told to trust our gut, our intuition. But how can we trust it (or even hear it) if we have not yet discovered who we truly are ourselves? Through having years of putting other’s needs first, and not having a voice, many of us struggle to follow our own instincts; and yet Kim and I are in agreement that it is on our instinct that we must rely as parents – because we know our family’s needs the best.

In this episode Kim and I explore the importance of hearing that inner voice and sometimes, relinquishing control. As parents, it’s scary to drop the reins – but by allowing our children to lead the way in their own lives, we set ourselves up for more connection and less confrontation.

Whilst listening to our own heart we must teach our children to do the same; and with that comes the likelihood of things not always going according to plan – and that’s totally OK!
