Being a conscious parent is not about arriving at a destination…after which you have earned the title “conscious parent.” It’s not a designation to put on your resume, or a symbol of having achieved a certain level of mastery of its principles. It’s about the commitment to the journey – and it can start on day one. You can choose TODAY to be a conscious parent. It means you are committed to the never-ending journey that emphasizes growth, truth, authenticity, and presence. We can all practice these skills and achieve various levels of mastery, however the genuine intention towards the journey is the most important piece that matters. Conscious Parenting is not a checklist of external attributes….it’s about the process. It is not about being a “human being,” but about being a “human becoming.” It is about being authentic, vulnerable, and honest. While there is a full spectrum of what that looks like from the outside, the most important aspect of being a conscious parent is the intention.

Children & technology – what really do we need to consider? (video)

April 6, 2017 by Erika Elmuts

I know many of you know me for the topic of health, nutrition, and healthy families. Yet the most press coverage I’ve gotten to date, has been around this highly controversial and difficult topic of parenting children relating to technology and social media.

Just the other day, I came across this interview I did with a colleague of mine a few years ago – she hosted me for a discussion about children and the impact of technology – and how are we as parents supposed to navigate this fast-paced changing world? So I thought I’d post and share….as it’s as relevant, if not more, today.

(apologies on the audio quality – a little staticky but for those of you wanting to get some food for thought on this challenging parenting topic…..here’s your video!)
