Read and connect with me…

What is a “Read and connect” 
Glad you asked…

This is an opportunity for learning and growth in a compassionate community of other mothers who are looking to grow deeper in their understanding of who they are in order to cultivate more secure attachments with their children. We read books together and discuss not only what we are learning from the text, but also what we are learning from each other as well as from our children.  We not only create intentional time each week to connect via zoom in 6 scheduled sessions, but we have optional opportunities for daily group or individual connections through a private messaging app throughout the 6 week study.

What book will we be Reading? 

Another great question! The short answer… 

Parenting from the Inside Out: How a Deeper Self Understanding Can Help You Raise Children who Thrive by Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Mary Hartsell. 

Dr. Dan Siegel is a leading expert on neurobiology and attachment. He is the author of many books, all of them fabulous, in my opinion. I discovered Parenting from the Inside Out many years ago and it made a powerful impact on me and my understanding of the role my own childhood plays in how I parent my children. This is what I believe to be foundational in the development of secure attachments with those we love.

What’s required ?  
~An open heart, a little vulnerability and desire to grow and connect in a meaningful way with other mamas.  
~Access to the book or an Audible version.  Parenting from the Inside Out: How a Deeper Self Understanding Can Help You Raise Children who Thrive by Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Mary Hartsell.
~A journal or notebook
~And the biggie…TIME. You’ll need to schedule time to read or listen each week to the text and 2 hours for 6 Thursday nights. Time is hard to come by..it is a limited commodity and can feel SCARCE when you are doing the job you are doing. I understand, AND  I want to invite you to THINK FROM A PLACE OF ABUNDANCE …what you need will be provided with your intention to find it. I would like to encourage you and remind you that time spent on YOU is an investment that will yield remarkable returns
 

And here’s a little time “hack” that might be helpful…When it comes to reading books Audible is my dear friend. I listen while I drive, fold clothes, make beds, and cook dinner, go to the grocery store and even in the shower. For the great books I usually have the paper copy as well, but I am a book junkie.. I confess!

What’s the cost?  

$40 This includes all 6 zoom sessions as well as daily connection with myself and the other group members through a messaging app. Obviously, as I have already stated, you’ll need a copy (or audio version) of Parenting from the Inside Out: How a Deeper Self Understanding Can Help You Raise Children who Thrive. (The cost of the book is not included.)
 
This group will be limited to 15 people so if this sounds like something you will enjoy, sign up now.
What if you can’t make a session?  
You’re presence will be greatly missed, but we all know a mama’s life is often unpredictable. Things sometimes get crazy and we understand completely. Please don’t miss a session because you didn’t have time to read that week.This is NOT that kind of group. You can come every week and never read a page, although I don’t recommend that, it is an option 😘

Will this count for my foster care annual continuing education hours?
That’s a question I can’t answer with 100% accuracy, but upon completion of the study, I will email a certificate to you to verify your participation and list the topics we covered. It’s my experience that many child placing agencies (CPAs) will allow a portion of your yearly hours to be filled at your discretion. Check with your caseworker or agency to verify their individual policy, then join us regardless.
Additional details and a Zoom link will be sent when your registration and payment is received.
