The Power of Rhythm and Ritual - how a simple whiteboard can transform connection and cooperation with your children! - Episode 2 - Series 2

<p>❤ Intentional Parenting: the power of rhythm and ritual 🥰</p> <p>In this week's Top Tip Tuesday's Masterclass we discussed how something as simple as a family whiteboard can support the consistency, predictability and routine that every child needs . &nbsp;We had some beautiful embodiment pieces, feeling into our intention, our resistance when in a power struggle with our child, and visualising how we want to feel in our parenting.</p> <p>Here is what we covered during our Masterclass:<br> <br> 🌼 This whiteboard is our new thing: myself, Olivia and Harry each writing on there what we'd like to do each day, what things we already have planned, what our commitments are.&nbsp;<br> <br> 🌿 Each of us have a voice, each of us can take ownership of our responsibilities (at a developmentally appropriate level), we decide&nbsp; between the three of us what is possible and what is not possible.<br> <br> 🌺 It's not achievable to be able to meet everyone's needs every day; but the power in this approach is that everyone gets to be seen and heard, everyone's voice matters.&nbsp;<br> <br> 🍁 For Elementary aged children, connection collaboration and cooperation is cultivated when they are part of decision-making processes, their strong sense of justice and need for fairness dictates this.<br> <br> 💫 They will resist arbitrary decisions, rules and boundaries - our role is involve them in family life, the logistics,&nbsp; the planning,&nbsp; what we consider to be the "boring stuff".&nbsp;&nbsp;<br> <br> 🕸 They are often more creative and more resourceful in problem-solving and cooperation as they don't have the decades of bad habits that we do 😝, they are able to look upon things with fresh eyes.&nbsp;<br> <br> 😚 We can cultivate autonomy, empathy, collaboration, responsibility and a sense of agency just from something as simple as a daily whiteboard!<br> <strong>Visit enrichingenvironments.com/SHOP for my Mentoring Programmes, Workshops and Meditations for children.</strong></p> <p><strong>My first book, the </strong><a href
