Naomi Barr

Want to end a spat with your kids? Naomi does this strategy with her 4- and 9-year-old to stop the chaos and put them right back into being okay, everyone getting along. We all have all behaviors, and our external environment (kids and others) will show us—so if someone outside of us is demonstrating a behavior we don’t like, we can find it in ourselves and the good news is that the moment we see it in this way, the behavior and pain it causes begins to dissolve. We may not be aware of it until we look inside. If we don’t think we have the behavior in question, just ask anyone in your family, a co-worker, or a friend and they’ll be able to point it out for you. Freedom awaits!

Want to dissolve upsets around other’s problems? In seconds you can dissolve stress and your upset reactions, and feel love and compassion for anyone with a problem. It even works to dissolve disturbing feelings towards objects or anything else.. This works with any age of child but is especially good when you have teens and you feel they are having a lot of problems, you don’t need to be stressed-out about the problems and that keeps them as the priority, not the problems. 

Each week, you're invited to watch one video that teaches you new ways to handle difficult situations. As you progress through the course, keep adding the new strategies you learn to what you've already learned. Your kids will provide you with lots of opportunities to practice. If you use a specific strategy for each upset with a child (e.g., if you get angry when your child throws a tantrum), you will begin to notice more calmness than chaos and you will feel stronger and more self-confident with these tools in your toolkit.
