Fully letting go of old parenting habits

Perfectionism..

Pride..

Denial..

Blame..

These are just a few of the habitual behaviors many of us have brought into our parenting journey that are bringing our families down. Whether these are habits we’ve learned or that have been passed down from our parents, I’m here to tell you, families, that you can treat these old ways of parenting as DEAD.

Yes, you heard me — you can treat the old ways as DEAD.

Resentfulness, guilt, anger, shame … Whatever it may be for you, this is your sign to leave them all behind!

We have the power in all areas of life and especially parenting to treat all of these ineffective old ways as if they were dead and adopt new habits that will bring our family so much more peace and joy. 

I know because I’ve been through those seasons of using old and tired parenting / disciplinary methods that never actually helped my children behave better AND left me filled me with anger and bitterness.

The old way is dead. 

It is not serving you or your family anymore.

I am here to encourage you every step of the way as you overcome your doubts in your parenting walk and trust that when you leave these old ways behind — On the other side you will find courage, empowerment, and creativity to develop beautiful & connecting new ways.

Adopting an entire new mindset may seem daunting, but you are never alone in this. 

There are many resources here at The Fresh Start Family to help you recognize these old ways, and to implement new, fresh, healthy strategies in your home. 

I am here to provide you and your family with the support and tools to get past these habits and into a beautiful new way of life! 

Are you ready to leave the old way behind? You’ve got this … always, ALWAYS over here cheering you on!
