Additional Resources:
Liana Lowenstein has various articles for parents on effective parenting strategies and on providing support for children who have experienced trauma, grief, and divorce.
Gabor Mate has some excellent resources on attachment and promoting resiliency. Please find a link to a brief video clip on you tube: Attachment and Conscious Parenting. He also has a fantastic book I highly recommend: Hold on to Your Kids.
Please see a handout I have prepared with common parenting coaching tips
Research supports that discipline is most effective when directly linked to the behaviour and when implemented in a timely manner (as soon after the event as possible). I have included a link to a handout summarizing the difference between punishment and natural / logical consequences.
Children are born primed for attachment and connection with their caregiver. I have included a basic introduction to the attachment process as well as tips and activities for promoting safety and resiliency in children.
