What if you could transform your parenting methods with a simple shift in perspective? Join us as Magdalena Garcia, an inspiring educator and parent coach, reveals her journey from supporting her neurodiverse younger brother to co-founding a nonprofit school dedicated to emotional development. Magdalena's insights challenge traditional behavioral techniques, advocating instead for relationship-based education that respects developmental stages and fosters genuine connections with children. Discover how her personal experiences as a mother, combined with Hand-in-Hand Parenting, have redefined her approach to nurturing children as intelligent, sentient beings.
Explore the foundations of fostering autonomy and critical thinking in young minds with Magdalena's Circles and Bridges program. By addressing the unconscious beliefs and early childhood experiences shaping parent-child relationships, Magdalena guides parents to nurture their own inner lives, ultimately enhancing their ability to support their children's emotional and developmental needs. From pregnancy and postpartum challenges to the hurdles faced by parents of neurodivergent children, we tackle the importance of creating nurturing environments that encourage strong, healthy bonds.
As we delve into the Hand in Hand parenting approach, Magdalena shares practical tools rooted in attachment theory, authoritative parenting, and trauma-responsive care. Learn how balancing high expectations with warmth, setting boundaries with empathy, and prioritizing "Special Time" can strengthen the parent-child bond. Magdalena also highlights the value of playful parenting and listening partnerships among parents for emotional support, offering strategies to enrich your parenting journey. Join us for this insightful conversation that promises to equip you with techniques to build deeper connections with your children.
