Hi,
I'm your positive parenting ally and my name is Birgitte - yes, a name that may
seem rather exotic for most of you and perhaps almost impossible to pronounce.
The reason for this unusual name is that I'm Danish and live in
Denmark: a small, Scandinavian country that is warm in spirit but
cold in weather (at least in the winter).
Cultural and
geographical differences aside, I'm sure we have this in common:
Most of what I deal with in relation to
positive parenting has a solid basis in
experience - either mine, or in time, yours.
This
experience-based foundation is very important, as it adds tremendous
credibility to the written word - in other words, most of what you
read about here has been done ... and it WORKS!
However,
there will also be more theoretically orientated articles on e.g.
attachment theory or
positive psychology theory for those of you are
interested in parenting backed up by science.
My
parenting experience was born in 2007 along with my son. As a baby
he was what may be termed a
high need baby, and now he has developed into
an active, curious, and highly socially orientated little boy.
Even though I haven't had the pleasure of raising a teenager ...
yet, the basics of positive parenting are timeless and will work
with kids of all ages.
How do I know this?
Because the core of this positive parenting style: deep presence,
high awareness, full acceptance and love are qualities we also love
in another person as adults.
As I am a cultural
anthropologist and an adventurer in the field of personal
development and self improvement, everything I have experienced in
relation to my son has been the subject of scrutiny and theorizing.
I try to see how every little thing relates to other things
and fits into the big picture of life; plus how I may help myself
and other people get a better 'parenting life'.
I always want
a deeper understanding and a better, easier, more natural and more
fun way of doing things.
It's a passion and I simply can't
help myself.
I find the journey of discovering which
parenting ideas work and which don't, exciting, fascinating, and
incredibly rewarding.
My son is being raised by me alone
(his father lives abroad - and we stopped being a pair before I even
discovered I was pregnant), which has provided me with unique
insights into the challenges and - yes, the benefits of single
parenting.
A subject I will deal with in depth as this
positive parenting ally site matures.
Not only have I always had tons of things on the go at the same time - they were also typically very different. Variety and fun have always been important values for me.
I really hope you will enjoy your visit on my website.
Your Positive Parenting Ally,
Birgitte
