Course overview
Join me on a transformational journey into an alternative reality…where we will step out of the dominant parenting paradigm of ‘behaviour management’ into a new paradigm of connection and compassion.
On this journey, you will learn how to let go of old, repeating patterns of reacting to your children in the moment, fuelled by frustration or anger (which may often be followed by feelings of guilt and shame).
And you will discover how to communicate with your children from a place of calm, compassionate connection as you develop the trust to let go of the ‘parenting rule books’ and parent from the heart.
In so doing, you will learn how to transform your relationship with your children, other family members…and yourself.

You’re right for this course if:
You are the parent / carer of children of any age (yes, this approach can help strengthen the bonds with adult children too!)

You have little or no experience but are curious and open to learning a new way of communicating with your children.

The bigger picture
Giraffe parenting is not just about us and our children. I believe this shift in how we communicate with our children and ourselves is so powerful that it could be the catalyst for healing the world.
Because, if we want to see peace in the world (and in our day-to-day lives) we need to break the societal and generational patterns of right/wrong thinking and behaviour.
Because this type of thinking and behaviour spawns the seeds of frustration, shame and guilt that grow into anger, hatred and violence.
The dawn of big hearted living
To break these patterns, we need to teach our children to view themselves and those around them through the lens of compassion and acceptance rather than judgement and blame.
We do this when we lead by example.
If we can raise our children with empathy, tenderness and love, they will go out into the world with resilience, compassion and joy - enabling them to form meaningful relationships, collaborate more effectively and come up with creative solutions to the world’s problems.
If you’d like to join our quiet revolution of compassionate connection, then I invite you to take the first step along this journey with me…
“Imagine a world where we all view each other through the lens of compassion rather than judgement… and imagine viewing yourself through that same lens…That’s the world I want to live in.”
