About Aware Parenting
-
Aware Parenting is a holistic, trauma-informed approach to parenting that nurtures children to remain cooperative, loving, and deeply connected to their authentic selves. Developed by Swiss/American developmental Psychologist Aletha Solter P.h.d this evidence based paradigm is rooted in trusting the inherent wisdom of children and draws on three core elements:
-
Meeting attachment needs
Looks like: Attuned responses and meeting our children's needs for closeness and connection.
-
Solving behavioural challenges compassionately
Looks like: preventing and addressing unenjoyable behaviour without punishments or rewards.
-
Healing from stress and trauma
Looks like: Supporting babies' and children's biological processes of laughter, crying and tantrums to release tension and heal from traumatic experiences.
