I cannot tell you how many times as a parent of adult children, I have looked back and thought, I wish I knew then what I know now. There are some things I would have done differently for sure.
Don’t get me wrong. For the most part, I believe I was a pretty good mom [a solid B, I would say]. This is mostly because I started learning early about what children need and what works in parenting. I did not rely only on my instincts or the trends of the day and I dealt with the baggage that I brought to my parenting journey [newsflash: we all have some baggage]. I did not assume that just because I gave birth to these humans, I would
automatically know how to deal with them!
AND, there are some things I would have done differently.
The reality is that the parenting landscape has changed so drastically in the last couple of decades that many of us have been blindsided by the changes. Since the dawn of the digital age [and especially the mobile age], a lot of previous parenting strategies simply do not work as well as they used to when our parents were raising us.
But what if you had anactual blueprint of parenting principles and practices that work even in the modern landscape that we find ourselves in?
What if you did not have to make your own mistakes? What if you could learn about the pitfalls of
modern parenting and how to avoid them? What if you could inspire faith and values in your family? What if you discovered the opportunities that parents still have to connect with and empower their children to function well in this world and succeed in the hereafter?
Well, this is the momentous task that I set myself when I began creating the Essentials of Positive Parenting Program for Muslim families like mine and like yours.
And after many years of fine tuning it, trying it with hundreds of families at all stages of parenting, I am ready to share with you.
I am delighted to invite you to join me and other Muslim parents at a FREE webinar happening TOMORROW: Introduction to the Essentials of Positive Parenting. In this 90 minute session, you will walk away with a clear idea of what the big picture of parenting looks like and a blueprint that you can use with any challenge that you may go through.
While it is free, you do have to register and we have limited spots.
Here are the details: What: Introduction to the Essentials of Positive Parenting When: Wednesday December 13, 2023 8pm – 9.30pm EST Open to: Moms, Dads and extended family Where: Virtually on Zoom Registration link:
Recording: Available to those who register although there will be special incentives for those who attend live.
