Parent Guide: What To Say When + Scripts (DIGITAL Download- Instant Access)

The Message Landed in My Heart

I am aware of all of the posts geared for parents of this generation and the judgement, doubt, emotional exhaustion that lists of dos and dont's bring. When I was a new parent I recall a few trusted books were at my fingertips. To be honest I did a pretty thorough review of the author's posts before purchasing. I made my decision based on how this body of information landed in my heart and the number of truisms that came up as I read the guide. I am a mother a grandmother an educator and a deep thinker and advocate for the healthy development of young children in particular the mental health of our youth. I feel strongly that all of The Secret Playbook offerings are the exceptionally well written with a storytelling format that serves to elicit conversation and reflection between parent and child. This is a resource that I wish that I had had when I was a young parent. I know that we parent often in the way we were parented and this can be insufficient for the times we are in and the experiences of our children that come up to be solved and supported. Worry is an exhaustive emotion to carry and when our children are moving through whatever difficulty they are faced with I know that these resources are a powerful and thoughtful way for parents to be supportive.

An asset for the often tricky art of parenting

I have set a bedtime routine where together we read one or two stories per night. The tone is pitched exactly right for children, my kids hang onto my every word. They regard the stories as humorous and can relate easily to the situations. The themes become more accessible this way, and we discuss before moving onto the next story. There is always a desire for the kids to take over and read the stories: the sure-fire way I know they are engaged. Thank you for this thoughtful and human-made resource!
