Make no mistake, your children are the spiritual growth you needed. They picked YOU! #HelpingFamiliesShine💫 Jofrost.com
Every teenager will screw up, and at that point, will they FEEL to call you or FEAR to call you? #HelpingFamiliesShine💫 jofrost.com
Millions of parents do not know the difference between AuthoriTARIAN & AuthoriTATIVE , they are even spelled similarly… look, you see, it can be confusing right? However as explained the two words are completely different parenting styles. My style is not what you may read on your Google search, I educate with an authoritative knowledge with evidence based, intuitive lead practices, which plays a huge part in the wisdom i share energetically when immersively working alongside families, I haved continued to do so for nearly four decades. 😊 Many parents struggle because they do not take the time to question their style or to recognize the impact of such on their partners and children, when this happens it can lead to polarized parenting with passive aggressive outcomes with couples feeling divided. Some parents on the other hand can’t see past their own passive parenting, they unknowingly impose their own unhealed strict upbringing onto their children called ‘PARENTAL PROJECTING’ The healing of the adult and inner child is necessary however raising children whilst doing so is no small feat and takes a lot of vulnerability… millions of families are doing so proudly and courageously! So I ask you all to ponder….what is your style, and what impact is it having on your family? Spend the time to work this out and you will be on your way to discovering more about yourself,your upbringing and how that matters as a parent in todays world. Jo xx #HelpingFamiliesShine💫
Palm trees, Ocean breeze, Salty curls and sun-kissed tales 😘 Hi! I Would love to hear from you & what country are you connecting from. 🌴🌞🌊🏖😎
Parents, you have to walk the talk. Teenagers sniff out the BS. jofrost.com
Be thirsty for parental wisdom & expertise, be discerning, so you may grow & evolve, making better decisions leading to healthier outcomes. #HelpingFamiliesShine💫
Do you agree?
What kind of a world will our children live in if this is bypassed? Armchair, permissive parenting, too afraid to do the right thing because we are sooooo afraid our children will hate us, too afraid to handle the situation at the playground whilst the other parent looks at you thinking to themselves, why have you allowed your child to hit mine without any repercussions, restaurant owners placing fees with children who have parents that don’t care about other people’s shared space. Teachers getting mouthed off by 7 year olds,leaving the proffesion because it’s not what they signed up for. Flight attendants apologizing for parents who allow their children to keep kicking seat ahead. Shop owners watching children bounce, break and touch everything.
Parents parents I love you but you got to start doing your bit, both can exist. It’s gone too far for some. Rein in on some boundaries, some rules,some manners and respect some decorum, let kids be kids but enough of the anti social behavior – Jo Frost Global Parenting Expert and Childcare Specialist.
Do you see it too? Because i will not be silienced.

One of the biggest life lessons you will ever teach your children by example. Saying is one thing but the action to repair and put right becomes the game changer!
We’ve all met the adults who grew up without those parents – JoFrost.com

And when they want…well you know what that looks like and feels like,especially out in public where everyone’s got a front row vip ticket!😳🤪
Look the point of this post is for you parents to trust your gut,you know your child and sometimes that full sentence of the word ‘ No’ has to come into play. It’s our job to discern the difference between both. It’s not your job to enable. [ so easy to do]
So enough of the guilt tripping yourself, you know what you give and how deep you love.
Stay sharp,listen to what resonates because there’s a alot of confusing information out there on parenting with no real worldly wisdom. 🤍 Jo xx

Let’s talk about the impact co-parenting has on your wellness as a parent & your children? jofrost.com
Increased attention & focus in class.
Increase interaction and social engagement.
Decrease bullying in schools
Increase productivity.
Increase emotional regulation .
What’s there to not agree with? They’ve started in Florida and I think it should be every school nationwide & WORLDWIDE.
My professional opinion and yours?
#helpingfamiliesshine💫
Respectfully each family to their own.
Children’s lives to me, should be one full of wonder, curiosity and magic,a place where their imagination & innocence can run away with itself at this time of year…Enjoying the gift of childhood we know in of itself is truly a gift, so many not afforded. The true meaning of holiday spirit, rejoicing in the festivities, each celebrating your own faith, beliefs, family rituals and traditions will always come first. I can live with that,can you?
What’s your thoughts as we draw near to this holiday period on this big conversation around lying to your children about Santa Claus? 🎅🏽
#HelpingFamiliesShine💫
And that right there parents is a fact.
Don’t lose sight of the long term impact of your better decisions, myopia parenting is not a good look on any parent or child.
Do you sometimes feel caught trying to keep the children happy,feel you are the only parent, or feel bad for doing so?
Or maybe you’ve just lived this tale and feel absolutely fine. What’s your thoughts ? Jo xx

However it’s in the ‘wrong’ because mistakes happen they learn and gain insight aswell as the courage to make a decision next time instead of staying stuck with the what if’s of a situation. These moments are very valuable for the child.
You are required as the parent/caregiver to nudge sensitively what they are thinking on the inside to fruition, as you see their wheels spinning, them over thinking ,reassuring them to say what it is they want to do or say or feel. This is conveyed in a tone that’s conversational,a speech pattern that’s slower to resonate calm and body language that sits back, not urgent,this will bring ease, the child to feel stabilized,support with empathy and not paralyzed, therefore free to do and say. This is my proffesional and personal practice,1 of so many that helps my grandson and families i coach whom have children with ADHD,I hope it helps you too!

This behaviour continues to surprise me with the amount of disregard parents have for the relationship their children have with the other parent.
Yes they are YOUR EX…however, not your child.
Be mature, step up, lead by example, yeah sure maybe 1 less pressie on your Santa list, but there comes a time when a young tweenager wants to reciprocate the gesture and spirit through a small token themselves. Remember it’s NOT about you but them.
Tip: You can cap the amount if helpful, then have them look and choose, in novelty areas.
You can buy ingredients for them to spend time making or baking something special.
You can help them if they are older and have even saved their own money, going with them shopping.
Do this not just for Xmas but birthday and mother’s father’s day too. 🎄
Please share other ideas 💡 or maybe what you do. What’s your thoughts?

Thanksgiving day is not only an American tradition that one gives thanks for the people, experiences and things in our life we are truly grateful for.
Thanksgiving Day IS historically a reminder of the genocide of millions of Native people, the theft of Native lands, and the relentless assault on Native culture.
Participants in National Day of Mourning honor Native ancestors and the struggles of Native peoples to survive, It is a day of remembrance and spiritual connection as well as a protest of the racism and oppression which Native Americans continue to experience.

We are beginning to realise the benefits of being raised with more emotional intelligence is not what other generations before us today were always privileged to. However what they did have amongst their parental love were many attributes, some like mental resilience and fortitude, endurance. We must now as parents learn how to ‘parent’with both heart and logic to find more balance as we become more educated on our journey.
As we learn we must also be brave enough to trust in ourselves to do our best,because that’s honestly all we can do for our children as we love deep.
Not if but when you screw up and there will be plenty times because you’re not always going to get it right,that’s when you must be willing to learn so you may grow from your decisions, it will be sometimes painful,joyful and your ego will get bruised ,we hope,so focus more on you being present than perfect. 😊
What thoughts and insights would you love to share from your parental journey so far?
I believe our collective experience help us all grow and evolve when we can remain open to learn. Jo xx
Have a beautiful week 🧡

Take note:
Having Family Values does NOT belong to any political Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Labour party. It belongs to YOUR Family..and every family should have also every political party should honor such values in their policies.

And that training can be tough,it can be relentless, it can be surprising and it can be a good, kinda chaotic fun, that’s parenting! Can I get a crazy face to that. 🤪 if you get a moment share your best training day so far,whether tough or chaotic fun! Jo xx
#HelpingFamiliesShine💫
It starts with our children,make no mistake about that.
When we can have governments lead with empathy, start aligning the money and investing where it counts ,we have a future that’s thriving not surviving and economically sound. Investing in our children & families is the only promise for a brighter future – Jo 🤍
If you believe in our children let me see a ❤️
