Stephanie Marston’s mission is to help women balance their competing priorities and create a high quality life. Have you ever felt angry and frustrated being a parent? Have you ever had a day when despite your best efforts, the loving understanding parent inside of you deteriorates into a screaming, nagging stranger?
I have. At one time not so long ago, that was my life. What I wanted was to be the loving nurturing parent I always wanted to have. Instead, my image of perfect parenting turned into my worst nightmare.
I was totally unprepared for coping with my daughter. Our daily struggles lasted from morning to night and were filled with screaming, nagging, and threats. I fought her every morning to get dressed, and every evening to get her to bed.
Although I had read numerous books on child development, parenting, and psychology, I could no longer ignore that fact that all of my love and good intentions were not going to change my daughter’s behavior, and regulate my own.
It was at this point of desperation that I stumbled upon some skills that would change our lives—forever. As I began to work with and apply these tools in my own home, I began to experience dramatic changes in my family. Over time the yelling, threatening and name-calling decreased as I found new ways of relating with my daughter. I felt more in charge, and she became very responsive to my more humane approach. But most important I began to feel better about myself as a parent.
