Childhood Messages

I taught parenting classes for years. It was one of the most rewarding aspects of my career. Everyone has a story to share and most humans desire same for their young: safety and security.

Each class always led back to this question: what were the messages YOU heard when you were a child about parenting? money? relationships? handling conflict? community building? The list goes on.

It’s only until we recognize our own cultural context and upbringing can we change, enhance, or motivate ourselves and others. There’s always room to evolve into the person you want to be.
