Happy families don't just happen ... they begin with Empowered Parents. As a parent myself I know how rewarding having kids can be and also how challenging and frustrating it can get. I understand the need for balance and all the control, manipulation, and judgment that can be part of the family dynamic. I started this group because I desire to share some simple tools with parents that have created "A Different Normal" in my family and have made parenting fun and enjoyable. What if you …

  Hi Everyone, my name is Lyn.  I am a stay-at-home mom to a baby boy who was born in July of 2011, and wife to an amazing husband.  And while I am grateful to be able to experience every one of my son's milestones, like a lot of moms who love, adore, and generally can't be parted from our children, I have the need for some real, adult interaction! So I decided to start my own mommy group. And, in what seemed to be a short period of time, we have a terrific group: caring, involved moms who are c …

Dear young parents & would be parents, The world today knows that 80% of the brain development happens during the first 8 years of your child. Also the right brain development is complete by the time your child becomes 4 years. This means that your child’s emotional development, intuition and creativity is locked after he is 4. The happiness quotient is based on these aspects of your child. Parents are the first Gurus of the child. Only through aware parenting we can develop our child to be a …
