Coming Soon… Guilt Free Parenting Group for Moms!!

November 17, 2009
by Jenny Dougherty

Join us for our Guilt Free Parenting groups beginning in early February!!  Check back for exact time and email  info@newleafclinic.com for more information!

Doesn’t it sometimes seem that being a mom comes with more questions than answers? I frequently talk to moms who worry how long they can continue parenting by trial and error! So many of the moms I work with spend their free time reading and talking and watching shows on parenting.  It seems the more resources they work to integrate the more lost they feel. As an professor, I teach my students that asking questions and engaging in dialog is THE best way to learn.

As a parent, I recognize that discussing our children and our parenting is revealing ourselves at our most vulnerable.  This group provides an opportunity for moms to learn from one another and to untangle the struggle from the joy of parenting.  Through the part discussion and part educational format, the Disciplineistas group will provide you with specific skills to assist you in raising responsible, intrinsically motivated, and emotionally aware children.

Two specific qualities make our group unique. First, this group teaches you to meet your children where they are… to speak to them in their natural language, play.  Secondly, we ask you to practice the skills we teach you during 30 minute weekly play sessions with your child.  I find this to be the best and most manageable aspect of this format. If you are like me you have half read parenting books on your nightstand (and learning and teaching parenting is my profession).  You may have tried the suggestions, but they didn’t work.  If this is the case you were likely trying the ‘techniques’ at the most challenging times of your day… maybe during the ‘witching hour’ that around dinner, just home from work, before bed chaotic time. That time when very little goes easy. We want you to implement our teachings at a time when you and your child are relaxed and ready to enjoy one another’s company.

So join us, Mondays beginning in February from 11- 12:30 in a casual, homebased environment.  We will provide snacks, workbooks and some supplies.
