Intentional Strength-Based Parenting
Be Intentional
Envision yourself as the parent you want to be:
- What kind of relationship do you want with your children?
- In what ways do you want to be an example for them?
- What experiences would you like to provide them?
- How do you hope to be remembered by your children?
Create a vision for your child as an adult:
- What values do you want your child to carry into adulthood?
- What skills and abilities?
- How do you hope your child will approach life and relationships?
Working from a vision and being fully present in the flow of day-to-day moments with your children will enable you to grow the best in yourself and your kids.
Using the Parenting Compass, take a few moments to put your hopes for your child into words, creating a mental picture you can begin bringing into reality. Your vision will guide you as you set day-to-day priorities and make decisions.
