September's Intentional Conscious Parenting Tip: Guiding Kids Through a Changing World

September. The air begins to hold a hint of autumn's crispness, the leaves begin their slow transition into a blend of colors, and our children are adjusting to a new academic year. But this September isn't just about the changing seasons or back-to-school/homeschooling routines. It's about facing a world that feels different, a world that may seem more chaotic and unbalancing for some parents and their children.

News headlines scream of climate change, political unrest, and public health crises. The uncertainty and fear that you may feel can easily seep into your parenting, creating an atmosphere of anxiety in your home. But it doesn't have to be this way. As parents, we have the power to create a safe space for our children and be able to guide them through these turbulent times with grace and resilience. This is where intentional conscious parenting comes in.

Intentional conscious parenting is about being present, mindful, and deliberate in our interactions with our kids. It's about fostering an environment of safety, understanding, and open communication. 

Our September’s Intentional Conscious Parenting Tip is about helping our kids navigate the changing world without transferring our fears onto them.

Raising Empaths: Recharging After Sensory Overload.

Introverts and extroverts see and interact with the world differently. When raising empathic, introverted, or hyper-sensitive children it's important to be attuned to your child's needs and energetic boundaries. 

Remember even extroverted children can become overwhelmed and feel overstimulated too. Some children are more sensitive than others. Adjust your parenting techniques and skills accordingly to your child.

As parents, we strive to understand and support our children's unique traits and needs. One such trait that may require special attention is empathy. Empathic children have an incredible ability to sense and absorb the emotions and energies of those around them. While this sensitivity can be a gift, it can also lead to sensory overload and emotional exhaustion. In this article, we will explore strategies for recharging empathic children after sensory overload, allowing them the space and freedom they need to thrive.

As parents, we often find ourselves in the role of guiding and teaching our children, but it's essential to remember that their ideas and who they are as individuals matter. Every child is unique, with their own thoughts, feelings, and perspectives on the world. It's our responsibility to create a safe and nurturing environment where they can express themselves, be heard, and have their ideas validated.

Creating Healthy Habits: The Key to Balanced Screen-Time

Balanced screen time

Creating healthy habits when it comes to using electronics is not a one-time task, but a continuous process. It involves setting clear boundaries, establishing routines, and providing guidance.
