Welcome to Litsy!

A hard book to review because I see some faults in it (it‘s repetitive & sometimes contradictory) but I admire Gabor Mate and agree with everything he says regarding attachment and parenting. I love that he says ‘don‘t parent from a book - not even this one‘. He argues that we‘ve lost some of our natural instincts and because of this, & the way society is, kids have stronger attachments to their peers rather than adults which causes problems.

Starting this one today. This title isn‘t in the system so I used another of her books 🤷🏻‍♀️

"Blaming blocks positive change because it focuses you on finding fault instead of finding solutions."

L slept like a log from about 6 weeks to 4 months old and has been alternating between good nights and bad ones ever since. So I started this one. It describes the sleep cycles of babies and how to find the most realistic and suitable arrangements for you and your little ones. So far so good...

This book had some great points and tips on how to parent in everyday battles but some chapters I found rather repetitive and unnecessary

Hey everyone! My first Parenting Workshop was a success, so I am hosting another! I have a Bachelor‘s Degree in Child and Family Development, and I have such a passion for the next generation becoming the best versions of themselves. I have a few spots still open! Comment below if you want more info on prices and class, and I hope you join us!

As a parent educator, I still feel hypocritical. How can I teach others how to have loving and respectful relationships with their children when I struggle daily to maintain a healthy relationship with my own children? The key is progress, growth, open-mindedness, and education. I will never stop learning and growing for my children, but mostly, I will never stop growing for myself.
