Listen, if you don’t have good role models for parenting, of course you’re going to struggle.
- You don't know how to balance your own needs with your kids' needs.
- People keep telling you to put on your own oxygen mask first and you don't even HAVE an oxygen mask.
- You lie awake at night worrying that you're screwing up your kids.
- You don't want to be shamed, blamed or criticized -- you got enough of that for a lifetime -- but you know you want help.
- You know you don't want to spank, yell or punish but then what ARE you supposed to do?
- You really really really really don't want to be your mother.
I understand. I’ve worked with hundreds of parents who felt just like you.
What you need — what you deserve — is a safe space to work it all out. A place where you can get in touch with your inner wisdom (I know you’ve got tons), where you can grow your personal AND parenting confidence, and where you can become the happy, healthy and effective parent you were meant to be.
That’s what I offer you in the You Are Not Your Mother membership.
Dawn Friedman MSEd
This membership program is not just about how to parent effectively (getting kids to bed, getting chores done, etc.) but about the potential for parenting to be transformative — to bring us to our best selves, our most loving selves, and our most contented and confident selves. This is big work and it’s hard work but you don’t have to do it alone. It is my passion and my privilege to work with struggling parents like you.
If you had parents who were overbearing...
you might worry about being overbearing or about swinging too far in the opposite direction to being neglectful.
If you had parents who were neglectful...
you might worry about fostering independence without making your kids feel abandoned.
If you had parents who were explosive or depressed or anxious...
you might worry about appropriately managing your own feelings of anger, sadness and anxiety.
If you secretly worry that everyone else knows how to be a parent and that you'll never figure it out then you are in the right place!
You don't have to repeat your parents' mistakes. It stops here, now, with YOU.
Here's how the membership supports you:
- You get clear guidance so you can handle tough times in new ways;
- No more parenting drama -- you'll learn to roll with the punches;
- You'll understand what's happening with your kids and not take things personally;
- You'll learn how to take care of YOURSELF, for real;
- Plus a supportive, private, NON-JUDGMENTAL community of like-minded, dedicated parents;
- And so much more!
