Peaceful Parents Testimonials
A big thank you for a wonderful course you provided over the past 4 weeks. It was practical, insightful and helpful and your style of facilitating and coaching was natural and supportive & a lovely group of parents. Wonderful initiative by St. Mary’s to offer to parents I want to say THANK YOU!!! As I believe that I have been very lucky to have had the chance to participate in the peaceful parents program this year. I really found your sessions so enriching and enlightening, each and every one of them have been an opportunity for reflecting, gaining self-awareness, connecting with our emotions and with others through sharing thoughts experiences in a very safe and warm environment. My children are now opening up more through the use of reflective listening, which is improving our communication. Peaceful Parents has made me more aware and appreciative of the little things. I have learnt so much and highly recommend this workshop. I would like to say that after your last session, we spent 2 afternoons “in the flow” with my kids. Drawing and building lego for hours. It was very nice. My relationship with my children is more relaxed since I have been trying the tools you have given me. I’ve tried reflective listening (I realise I have never been a reflective listener) and it’s hard but surprisingly effective when I get it right. I have tried naming emotions with my children which has also been unexpectedly for me very successful in comforting and calming my children. I have found deep relaxation through the breathing techniques and meditate almost every day. I am understanding myself more as I try to notice my thoughts. |
This workshop was a huge support and has enabled me to approach my daughter’s anxiety in a different way. Using the new techniques and skills I’ve learnt it has made our whole household a lot calmer and more manageable. I want to say THANK YOU!!! As I believe that I have been very lucky to have had the chance to participate in the peaceful parents program this year. I really found your sessions so enriching and enlightening, each and every one of them have been an opportunity for reflecting, gaining self-awareness, connecting with our emotions and with others through sharing thoughts experiences in a very safe and warm environment. Peaceful Parents has made me be more mindful of the here and now and allow myself to stop and slow down. It has also changed the way I listen to my daughter. I really enjoyed the Peaceful Parent workshop, the sharing of experiences and input from others Mums was invaluable. I have loved introducing all the ideas with my family and I feel we are now more mindful and feeling closer as a family unit. Peaceful Parents is a program that can easily fit into any busy family life. It has helped improve the communications channels, increase positive experiences at home and create a happier more mindful environment where we appreciate the small things and each other more. |
