Aware Parenting:

Are you familiar with Aware Parenting? I learned about it 4 years ago when my daughter was 6 months old. It completely changed my life, my parenting journey, the way I understand my daughter and how we are able to get great sleep. Please check out the Aware Parenting (AwP) section on this webpage if you would like to learn more. I am keen to offer you support. I am training to be an AwP instructor. During these home days, I’d love to be here for you through:

-Online consultations to help you feel more relaxed and find ease and techniques to help your children.

-Aware Parenting workshop, which will start April 17. The events page has lots of info about it. The early bird price is $30. I hope to see you there! Xo -Laura

Learn play & connection techniques and how release through tears & tantrums creates calmer, cooperative behavior in children, helps them sleep better and helps parents to find more ease and understanding.

Suggested times for the lives:
Welcome video: April 17 5pm
Subsequent live videos: Sundays 10am
(If these days and times do not work for you, then we can adjust to find the most suitable times for all.)

How are you during these big times? Are you finding time to respond to your needs and listen to/be heard about your feelings?
It’s understandable that big changes can create big emotions in us as parents and in our babies & children.

-how can we listen to our children’s emotions, their tears, tantrums, create deep connection and play to help them release big emotions that cause challenging behaviour and help them return to their natural state of cooperation and sleep better?
-lots of attachment play ideas, that are also specifically targeted for helping them release emotions and process what’s happening around them (& us) during these uncertain times
-practicing loving limits

Hello Local Friends with kids!
How are u?
A few years ago I learned about Aware Parenting from Marion Rose and how the play component of it all works! It’s been amazing to see shifts within moments of connecting in with my daughter (4yrs old) and playing together, sometimes any old kind of deep connecting play and sometimes specific Attachment Play. A few minutes, for example, of her being the leader, coming on my back and directing me, has helped her gain power and laugh and then return her to her true nature of cooperation & compassion, and made my life a lot easier! Also with my baby we play peek-a-boo or copying each other’s sounds before bed and he sleeps better after that deep connection (and also often after a cry in my arms).

In a few weeks I will host a workshop filled with techniques for finding more cooperation with our kids through play, based on Aletha Solter’s work and the Aware Parenting (AwP) approach. I’m really excited to share how AwP delves into underlying emotions that lead to challenging behaviour and looks at ways to release them through crying (in arms as a baby) or tears/tantrums, laughter/play and deep connection, as along as needs are met.

If you are looking for more joy, laughter, ease and play, along with more fun & deeper connection with your kids, come and join in the next workshop (Sun., Nov 10, 10-1 at our yurt in Modanville) around play and healing.

It will help our kids and us as parents heal through laughter and play.

Please let me know if you would like more info or to book in.
much love,
Laura Shaz

Hello Mothers,At the end of August I am so excited to host another Intro to Aware Parenting Workshop. If you are interested in learning the many facets and techniques of Aware Parenting or wanting to find more joy, ease, compassion, understanding and healing in your motherhood journey, then please come along or let me know if you have any questions in your personal life.This workshop is not only about the children, but more so about you,: your healing, your time to fill up your cup and how you can express your needs & feelings in a healthy way, then if you have space, how you can support your children to release their feelings.Give yourself a chance to relax and heal while learning techniques for building healthy communication and releasefor your kids, use loving limits rather than punishment & reward… and more from the Aware Parenting (AwP) perspective (based on Aletha Solter’s The Aware Baby & Marion Rose PhD’s work.)I’m a mother of two children (ages almost 4 yrs and 9 months), a yoga instructor, facilitator and mediator. I’m training to be an Aware Parenting Instructor. Almost 3 and a half years ago I learned the basic principles of AwP from Marion Rose PhD, helping me and my daughter to get better sleep, along with better communication skills for us all, bonding exercises to release through laughter and play and generally how to enjoy parenting more, as I understand my children better and can help them be more cooperative and calm, able to concentrate and enjoy life more. It was so wonderful to have these tools available once my second was born, so that we could all enjoy family life together more and overcome the challenges of growing and changing.Challenging behavior is caused by painful feelings and once I understood that, created a space for my kids to cry or laugh or connect, then they could return to their true nature of cooperation & love. It was wonderful to watch how my babies and toddler changed once they could be listened to and responded to, they became generally healthier, happier and gentler. They don’t want to be disrespectful and difficult, they just need help getting out their uncomfortable feelings, whether caused through trauma or simply an overwhelming shopping trip.Aware Parenting has changed my life, and I hope it will yours, as well! I hope to see u there!Sunday Aug 25, 10am-1pmAt our home in Modanville, in the yurt in the backCost $60+2 follow-up inline calls and continuing support through facebook after the workshopwww.ljspeace.comLaura 0415 533 311

Come and join for the next Mum’s Circle, which will be on Sunday July 7th from 10-12. The power of sharing, listening and being heard with compassion is profound for healing. This time we will hold the mum’s circle at the Lismore Birth House on the same Sunday as the same day as the carboot marke. If you can be baby-free, do it! Trust me, you’ll thank me for it!!! Cost: $10
In this safe space we will share how we are doing, including challenges & joys about children, parenting or anything else that’s going on with you. Also, we will chill out with a bit of yoga and meditation and if interested, I will offer tips from the Aware Parenting perspective (totally for you to feel out if it resonates and feels right for you).
Aware Parenting is based on Aletha Solter’s work to help you and your baby release emotions in a healthy way (rather than repression or aggression), so that you can both feel more relaxed and have better sleep. It’s also super helpful with toddlers to be more relaxed and cooperative.
“We’re naturally calm, cooperative and compassionate. We want to contribute to others and care for them. We are able to change, concentrate for long periods, and be creative. This is our natural state,” Marion Rose PhD. If our child acts out, we are needing to help them release their emotions through crying or tantrums or laughter, so that he or she can return to their true state.”
“Our babies want to sleep, feel relaxed, make eye contact, and concentrate.
Our children want to be gentle with their siblings and friends and family, learn new things, and cooperate with us.
We want to contribute to our children, to be calm and connected and compassionate with them.”
If you would like to join in the next mum’s circle or have any questions, please let me know:

On Sunday May 19 from 10-1, I am offering an intro to Aware Parenting Workshop… what does that mean? I’ll teach tools to help you and your baby release emotions in a healthy way (rather than repression or aggression), so that you can both feel more relaxed and have better sleep.
It’s also super helpful with toddlers to be more relaxed and cooperative. Sometimes they can be really confusing, and aware parenting breaks down some of the challenging toddler behaviour into deciphering what’s going on with these little humans.
Understanding, compassion and ease are such an integral part of Aware Parenting. Also, it helps us as parents on our healing journey.
If you’re interested to join or to have any questions, please let me know. I need to know how many will join in order to plan the workshop accordingly and to make sure that I have enough people to make it happen. It would be such a pleasure to see you thereJ
………..
“Is he always this calm?” People often ask me about baby Eliasz. “Yes!” is my
answer. And “YES, we get great sleep!”
About 3 years ago, when my daughter was 6 months old, I learned about Aware
Parenting, and it completely changed the way that I parent, and the way that I
understood my child. I learned that crying helps babies and children release
tension and stress, so if it is not a need (like hunger or nappy change, for
example), tears and laughter and connection can be totally freeing for them.
Actually, stress-releasing hormones are emitted through tears, so physiologically
it correlates. And when we are there to listen to their crying (never leave a child
to cry alone), they will feel calmer (& more coop
erative for toddlers/older children) and have better sleep, which is a bonus for us adults, too.
A child’s natural inclination is to cooperate, be calm and be pure love. They “act
out in challenging behaviour” when they need help releasing tension. I notice that when my daughter is acting “difficult,” (she is 3.5yrs old) and then I help her to have a good cry, a tantrum, a laugh or a close connecting time with me, she is transformed into a super relaxed and happy child who wants to help me and be gentle.
I am now training to be a certified Aware Parenting (AwP) instructor. I’m super passionate about helping other mums find more ease and joy in parenting. So, I’m offering a 3-hr workshop + after the workshop, extra support. If AwP resonates with you, please come and join me on Sunday, May 19th from 10-1. Cost $60

WorkshopMay

Come, beautiful mothers, join in a mum’s circle at our home in Modanville (in our yurt). It will be held on Sunday, march 10 from 9-11 am. $10. please contact me for more info and address if you’d like to join.

We will have time to connect in with ourselves, how are we feeling? what are we needing? we will support one another in a safe space, practice yoga and meditation and learn tips from the AwP perspective.
What is AwP?

AwP looks after the mums & bubs emotional well-being by emphasizing the needs for mums, little ones and babies to cry (in arms or closeby if at toddler + age) and to be heard or to play, (releasing pent-up emotions through crying and laughter. Through close connection and presence, we can help our children reallign with their natural inclinations of love, cooperation and contribution, and to help improve their sleep and rest states as they are more relaxed and free from bottled-up emotions.
