Light Heart Parenting is all about moving from stress-filled to more light-hearted parenting experiences. Delighting in the unique individuals your children are by recognizing and supporting their strengths actually affects brain development, learning at all levels, and ability to form genuine relationships. We will discuss the importance of letting go of comparisons and expectations and really noticing each of YOUR children, as if they were little start-up companies - with their own sets of passions, talents, and uniqueness. The world needs everyone's unique strengths. Focusing on these creates safety for our children and elevates the parenting experience to include joy, laughter, and fun on a daily basis. www.facebook.com/lightheartparenting, 805-648-1739 • Edie Lanphar - elanphar@gmail.com • Mariaemma Willis - m@learningsuccesscoach.com
