<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">“It can be isolating for new moms – especially with the
phones. Moms are looking for outlets for human contact.<span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </span>I feel the need is larger now,” says Kent. <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </span>Also, “Moms are super tired – from a lack of
sleep or because their partners aren’t helping enough. Breastfeeding can be
frustrating.<span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"> </span>We need to support moms.
Circles are so important. They have commonality with other women and almost everything
shared is what someone else is experiencing.”</span></div>

With so much mindfulness, love and kindness being practiced these days, one would hope such efforts would extend to the parenting domain. It is the most important job many of us will have and relationship we'll cultivate in this lifetime, after all.<br />
<br />
Greater emotional awareness, clear communication and joyfulness are key tenets to positive parenting, according to Rebecca Eanes, author of, <i>The Positive Parenting Workbook: an interactive guide for strengthening emotional connection</i> (Tarcher Perigee, $15.00).<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: #222222; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; margin: 0px 0px 0px 15px; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>RE:</b> <span style="color: #222222;"> I spent years learning about attachment, child
development, and positive discipline, and that information was life changing for me. I wanted to take my knowledge and understanding of these topics and present them not as a PhD writing a study report but as a mom who had applied this information to my own
relationships and saw great results. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted to write a parenting book that focused on the big-picture of parenting. Most parenting books focus on discipline methods, but parenting is about so much more than discipline. There are many aspects
of parenting that shape our children, such as our own stories and beliefs, the way we communicate, the relationships we have with our partners and others, habits and routines, family culture, traditions, the home environment, and much more. When parents focus
all of their attention of which discipline methods they choose, these other areas aren't given the attention they need. My hope is to free parents from the trap of conventional methods so they are free to love and live joyfully with their kids.</span><u></u><u></u></span><br />

<u></u><u></u></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>RE: </b><span style="color: #222222;">The biggest trap, in my opinion, is the idea that we must sacrifice relationship in order to maintain authority. We've come to accept practices such as time-out, grounding, and removal
of privileges as sound discipline strategies even though 1) they rarely work and 2) they can damage the parent-child relationship. The idea that we must "make them suffer" for their wrongdoings and anything less is "permissive" or "soft" traps us into dealing
out unhelpful punishment to feel like we are "parenting right." </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When parents come to understand that true parental authority lies in a healthy, attached relationship - one where children feel safe in our care, believe we are on their side, and do not have
to fear losing our love or affection - they are released from the punishment trap and free to look at the emotions and experiences that are driving the child's actions. Then they can see that there aren't behaviors that need punished but problems that need
solving and hearts that need healing. That's a powerful change. </span><u></u><u></u></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>RE: </b><span style="color: #222222;">I believe it's critically important to look within first and make sure that we have our own emotions and behavior in check before we attempt to help our kids with their emotions and
behaviors. Otherwise, we just end up adding fuel to the fire or modeling the exact type of behavior we don't want to see in our kids. My workbook devotes a chapter to understanding how our past experiences shaped our beliefs, identifying triggers, and learning
calming tools that help us show up in these situations at our best through thought-provoking <span class="il">questions</span> and mindfulness exercises. <u></u><u></u></span></span><br />

into your intuition, to tune out the many other voices and tune into your own, and to peel back layers of conditioning to discover what's important to you and how to best raise your own unique child. It's very much a journey of self-discovery and</span> <span style="color: #222222;">of growing
yourself up as you come into a healthier and more joyful relationship with your kids. <u></u><u></u></span></span><br />

puts a lot of focus on being proactive in dealing with these common behavioral issues. Traditional parenting methods often invite these challenges by frustrating kids with unmet emotional needs and straining the attachment bond. So there are preventative measures
listed that keep these from becoming major problems to begin with, but there are also <span class="il">questions</span> and activities that help parents see these behaviors differently - looking again at what is driving the behavior, putting the focus on the root cause and not the
symptom.<u></u><u></u></span></span><br />

we open ourselves to the magic of giving and receiving love. On a physical

helps counter the effects of a slouchy posture while sitting at a deck or
computer for long periods of time. Heart openers also help to energize your
body, which could help with focus and concentration at a time during the day
when you need a little lift. With your heart and chest open, you can breathe
fully and slowly into your chest and belly, instead of shallow breathing with a

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: large;"><b>The Benefits of Becoming a Kids Yoga Teacher</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b></b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />When I began my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training I had no idea what I wanted to do with the education I received, as a matter of fact I doubted that I would even teach. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">However, two days into the training...</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> someone mentioned yoga for children. My ears perked up and my head spun<br />in the direction of the conversation. I spent my entire lunch that day asking Pam and Daryl </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">questions. I just felt it was what I wanted to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I went home and did more research and found a training that was specifically for teaching children and I signed up! It was that easy for me…and I know that I made the right decision.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every day I get to share my knowledge of yoga and its many benefits with children. I teach them the poses and the philosophy of yoga with lesson plans on subjects such as: peace, love, kindness, gratitude, honesty, courage and many more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When a parent reaches out to me for some tips on stress reduction, anxiety or building muscle tone, I gather the information and help them as best as I can and suggest the resources I feel would help them the most based on<br />their needs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When a school psychologist asks for my assistance in setting up a mindful space or program I jump into action. A sports coach asks me to offer weekly yoga and meditation for their team so they can focus and be flexible- I make time, if I don’t have time I send someone I have trained or mentored. A school teacher asks me to visit her class to talk about mindfulness, I’m there. A school district asks me to speak to their physical education teachers about yoga,<br />their social workers on mindfulness and their teachers on easy ways to bring yoga into the<br />classroom I do it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />When a parent says thank you to me…I reply, “Thank you for allowing your child to have this experience and for bringing a smile to my face.” Because I leave EVERY class with a big huge smile. The benefits of being a kids yoga teacher are endless…contact me and I’ll show you the way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br />More Yoga. More Good!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sharon Marrama, owner of Here Comes the Sun Yoga for Kids is a children’s yoga instructor at<br />several local schools and studios. She also holds a certificate in Children’s & Teens Coaching and writes children's books.</span><br />

increase coordination and concentration. For kids of any age, a regular yoga practice leads towards creating an overall healthy attitude and builds a sense of community. Classes are designed to make learning yoga fun and start with setting an intention--a thought or an attitude and direction in which to focus your thoughts.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;">During classes and workshops, instructors will help young yogis by suggesting intentions based on practical life concepts such as living in peace, feeling empowered, implementing self-love, practicing balance, creating strength, being mindful, or living yoga on and off the mat. Proposing these intentions help younger yoga students to be more focused. Instructors sometimes expand on these concepts after class to create a group discussion. Children and adults who practice yoga find a bit of peace each time they attend class. It provides them with a starting point of understanding of how yoga can help keep the body and mind in balance.</span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> </span></span></div>
