How Special Time Builds Connection With ...

MICHELLE KENNEY, M. ED
About this episode

If you’ve been listening to Peace and Parenting for a while you’ll have heard Michelle talk about “Special Time”. Today she unpacks the benefit it has for both your kids and you, and some of the rules and pitfalls around creating these special moments of connection with your kids. And if you have teens there are some great tips in here for how to do this with those more reluctant ages.

 

Working with individuals and couples is my most favorite work. We dive deeply into the ideas of connection and unravel the struggles of each individual family I work with. It’s a transformational paradigm shift each and every time. I have seen families undergo huge changes that forever impact their relationships. My One on One programs have limited space, so if you're interested click here to find out more. I look forward to working with you.

Working on our own inner hurts and childhood triggers can unravel many of our parenting issues. I do this with journaling and it has helped me work through some icky places in my own past. If you want to try, download my FREE guide: Healing Ourselves Through Journaling
