Welcome to Aware Parenting with Joss

Aware Parenting is an approach to raising our children, founded by Dr Aletha Solter. It prioritises connection and compassion in our families and gives parents the tools to create respectful and loving relationships with their children. It provides strategies to support children to be cooperative, connected to their authentic selves and loving.

This is a way of parenting consciously and offering presence and empathy to our children. We understand that children always have a legitimate reason for their behaviour and we tune in to look underneath their behaviour to identify their unique needs, thoughts and feelings.

Aware Parenting also supports parents to release and heal the painful feelings we still carry, to explore our imprints and to meet our own needs. We are then able to be the parent we want to be and have beautiful loving connections with our children.

The 3 Principles of Aware Parenting

Attachment Style Parenting

Focusing on physical closeness, connection and bonding, prompt and attuned responding to our children and prolonged breast-feeding, where possible.

Non-Punitive Discipline

Not using punishments or rewards but instead looking for underlying needs, thoughts and feelings, as well as respectful communication and peaceful conflict resolution in the family.

Helping Our Children To Heal

Recognising that stress and trauma cause behaviour and emotional problems and that crying with loving support and play are powerful, innate healing mechanisms for our children and ourselves.
