Missed Cyber Monday? Here’s a different gift idea.
Often people will tell new parents to “trust your instincts,” or “go with your gut.” That’s great for some, but for others that doesn’t always feel particularly comforting. Sometimes, our “gut” isn’t available, present, or clear. This may be because the transition to parenthood can feel overwhelming, or because our own experience being parented left us with a lot of course corrections to do. So, if trusting your instinct feels comforting, wonderful! But, if hearing that you should have a strong handle on all things parenting makes you feel crappy, quiet that noise. Even without the noise and with instincts intact, it is developmentally appropriate to be curious and maybe even, dare I say, insecure when bringing a new human into the world. That’s why in my work I like to find the space between giving enough support for relief, but not so much that it feels rigid and prescriptive. It's, of course, a balance. Along those lines, here is a FANTASTIC holiday gift idea (if I do say so myself)...
This holiday season, give the gift of parenting relief with a FREE private parenting session with me to a new parent in your life, when you purchase 2 copies of The Five Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans. Why 2 copies? Well, one is for you because the content spans across ages, and the other is for this new parent you are giving support!
So whether or not you did any holiday shopping this week (I, ahem, did not), I’m offering a very short term and special way to support the parents you know and love. If you preorder 2 copies my new book, The Five Principles of Parenting: Your Essential Guide to Raising Good Humans and email your receipt to thefiveprinciplesofparenting@gmail.com, I will offer a 30 minute private session to the friend or family member of your choice! Just include their name and email address and I will reach out to them with an early chapter, let them know they have received a gift certificate, and put them on the schedule for their free 1:1! As much as I would like to do this for everyone, I can only honor this offer for the first 25 of you who respond, so get going and give the gift of parenting support this season. If the offer has expired and you are reading this, you are still eligible to receive an early chapter and access to a live group session if you preorder and send an email.
I hope you are feeling supported this holiday season!
