[Humanpowered] Parenting with an Open Heart continues Saturday evening in East Vancouver

[dave olsen]

Being a parent in today's world is far from easy.

It's tough enough to meet the needs of our loved ones, but add in the demands of 
this culture and well, it simply can't all be done.

Which is where conscious parenting comes in: we make choices and the more we 
understand ourselves and our children, the more inspired we'll be to make 
healthier choices for us and our children.

This week we'll look at doting.  I was doted on at times during my childhood, 
and I know I've doted on my daughter.  I've learned from Jean Liedloff's /The 
Continuum Concept/ that my intuitive response to both types of experiences is 
accurate from an evolutionary point-of-view.  I'd love to share with you why I 
believe this and how both Jean Liedloff's observations and Michael Mendizza's 
brain research (/Magical Parent, Magical Child/) confirms this.

It's all part of our focus on Authoritarian vs. Role Modelling Parenting.  And 
believe it or not, it's fun!

We'll meet at 6pm on Saturday (Feb 16) and stop at 8pm.  There will be lots of 
healthy snacks and teas at our very child friendly location: 2105 Parker Street 
at the corner of Lakewood Drive in East Vancouver (enter through the gate off of 
Lakewood to the basement suite).

Did you know that in Scandinavia...
--> there are laws protecting children from all forms of spanking and bullying, 
even from parents
--> these laws do not imprison or punish parents but instead raise awareness 
(http://www.empathicparenting.org)
--> the elderly are able to remain at home thanks to programs that provide free 
meals, free transportation, and free care/
