Hi
My name is Debra . My friend Cheryl and I have developed mindful family for people just like you who want to raise your children with consciousness and an appreciation of one another's beauty and that of the precious earth we have to enjoy and protect.
Let's start talking!
Last night I spoke at a local Mother's event in our community.The proceeds of the fundraiser went to the Breast Cancer Fund and to the Post Partum Health Alliance in San Diego of which I am a proud board member!The Breast Cancer Fund is all about prevention and really interesting...check it out..It's important for all of us. A man who lost his wife to suicide spoke on behalf of the Postpartum health alliance..they are a great resource too.Refer friends you may think are at risk.
So...what was interesting for me being the mom of 2 wonderful boys..... 11 and 8 years old and a child play therapist was that all the moms in the room had one concern in common..."Are we messing up our kids self esteem?" I thought about this and I believe that our constancy,our reliablity and our message to them that we love them, are proud of them for who they are and not what they achieve will be the cornerstone of their sense of self. Of course we will mess up, often! That's ok.....and besides perfectionistic moms make anxious kids.So.....have fun, be real, model vulnerability and the ability to say sorry..all important Life skills.ANd trust yourselves....
