My son has never been spanked.
But I can’t say that about my girls. When they were
younger... I thought I had to be the one in
control. I thought that was just
how it was done.
I just didn’t know there was another way. But my girls soon
taught me there was a much better way.
When I realized I was teaching them to hit through my
hitting life flooded through the window and lit up my soul. My girls and I
started on the most exciting journey of compassion, understanding and love and
it paved the way for exciting pre-teen years, where we stand together, not
against each other.
But still, so many parents think that spanking is the way to
get “results”. Still, today, parents are often taught that they need to control their
children rather than understand them. They feel judged as people by how their
children behave and punishing them by hitting and spanking is a way to find
that control again... and for some reason society seems to think that’s ok,
even if an adult did this to another adult the police would be called.
So, this season, I want to help an organization that I’ve wanted to help
for a long time, and I’m asking for your help to do it too.
(So, here’s my sudden inspired idea) Until Christmas, I’m changing the price of my audio course to $10.00 and proceeds will be going to this organization to support them this season.
I looked around. I was going to offer the money to support someone over Christmas, but then I thought what better present to children than to offer their parents positive parenting tools! Its food for thought.
www.stopspanking.org offers tools, perspective shifts, and support
to stop the spanking cycle as well as education on the long term effects spanking
has on our children and helping parents learn there’s another way. For those of
you who know the wonderful work of Parenting beyond Punishment, you may of
heard of the non-profit organization. However as a Non-profit they need as much
help they can get to share their tools and information and help parents who are
falling into the cycle of anger and spanking without knowing they can turn it
all around.
SO to recap.
The Audio Course Taking the Stress Out of The Holidays is
now $10.00 with proceeds going to the www.stopspanking.org
also known as Hands Are For Holding.
You can grab the course here no discount code,
no anything. Spread the word and let’s get as much support as possible to this
great cause.
And, if by any chance, you still haven’t been able to stop
yourself from raising your hand to your child, feel free to contact me or this
organization. No questions, no cost, I've been there, I get it. Let’s bridge the gap between you and your child.
Happy Holidays.
