This week on The Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy sits down with Conscious Parenting educator Lisa Jean-Francois. Lisa is a Conscious Parenting and Mental Health Advocate, the host of the Consciously, Lisa podcast, and author of the book No Right Way: A Beginners Guide to Conscious Parenting.
Since the way we speak to our children becomes their inner voice, then it’s worth a second look to see what message we are actually giving our kids when we speak.
Tune in as Wendy and Lisa chat about what things to take a break from saying to our kids (and what to try instead)

You’re Fine. —> Are you OK?

Give auntie a kiss. —> Would you like to give auntie a kiss?

You’re too old to cry about that. —> It’s OK to cry.

You’re making me sad. —> I’m feeling upset and it’s not your fault.

Because I said so. —> Because ____ is the reason this rule is important.

Look at your cousin…why can’t you do that? —> You are who you are.
