Hi I am Mary Dravis-Parrish and I am on a mission! I am on a mission to take parents out of the classic mold that has been used to raise kids for centuries. I want to empower parents to be able to use their own unique way of being to parent their children. My first step in this mission is to let parents know that it is okay to step out of the mold, especially if it isn't working. The traditional mold that has been passed down is more about keeping kids and parents in a box of judgment and expectations rather than allowing both to bloom into the awesome beings they came here to be.
Many parents are doing their best to try to meet and understand their kids, and yet still feel frustrated, confused and even angry that they aren't getting the results that they expected. I know I was there and I did all the things that the experts, our society, school systems and culture dictated. None of it helped me to know my children as well as I would have liked. None of it helped me to know what I was bringing to these relationships and how I was helping or hurting my kids through my own judgments, conclusions and expectations. For over 40 years I have been searching to be an empowered parent and I have finally found the keys that take parents out of the box and into freedom and joy of parenting. I want this for more parents so that they too can experience true bliss, harmony and confidence as they raise our future generations.
