CONSCIOUS PARENTING EDUCATOR - Shelly Robinson
Leave a ❤️ in the comments if you agree! Kids Leave a ❤️ in the comments if you agree! Kids are seriously the best little (or big now that my 12 yo is almost 6 ft tall!) life coaches. What have your children revealed to you on your parenting journey? I like to think of conscious parenting as a three-legged stool that requires us to cultivate a strong relationship with ourselves, our children, and our inner child. And when one of those struggles, our stool becomes a little wobbly. That is the inspiration and framework behind the 3 different products inside of my Connected Kid Collection. Each product was created to help you create a deeper connection with yourself, your children, and your inner child. They all matter and they are all worthy of unconditional love. Specifically, the Conscious Kid Toolkit is here to help you… ✨Raise a confident and compassionate child 😍Cultivate more ease, joy, and harmony at home 🙏Increase cooperation and decrease defiance in your kids 🌟Dive into important conversations with confidence 🧒Learn to love yourself and heal your inner child If you’re ready to make this your go-to parenting tool, head straight to my bio where you can snag it right away.

Raise your hand if this is YOU! 🖐️ When we a Raise your hand if this is YOU! 🖐️ When we apologize to our kids, it doesn’t mean we’re a “weak parent.” In fact, quite the opposite. If you grew up never hearing “I’m sorry” from your parents, then it takes great courage and humility to break that cycle. I acknowledge and celebrate you! You are AWESOME. Also, when we apologize to our kids, we model for them in real-time what accountability for our actions looks like. Kids don’t grow up learning how to apologize to others because we made them say, “I’m sorry.” They learn how to be accountable and apologize by watching US do that. The cards in this video are just a few of the 50 conversation cards in my Connected Kid Collection (there are talking points on the back as well!). Every statement on each of these cards is something every kid needs to hear growing up (IMHO) <3. The Collection also comes with therapist-backed online activities for your child and a Reparenting workbook for YOU! Also: did you know I can ship to 55 different countries? If you’re curious to see if your country is on the list just go to GetCKC.com and click the drop down menu to see if you’re there! (I sure hope so!). Remember: We’re in this together. We’re the generation of parents willing to apologize, acknowledge where we have room to grow, and still be the compassionate leaders our kids need. So, if you’re ready to say goodbye to: ❌Losing your temper with your kids ❌ Punishing them because that’s how you were raised ❌Not feeling good enough as a parent ❌Power struggles between you and your children ❌Finding yourself repeating patterns you learned from your own parents ❌Not feeling like anyone is listening to you Then, I would invite you to check out the Connected Kid Collection at the link in my bio. You deserve to be supported on your cycle-breaking journey. #consciousparenting #innerchild #holisticparenting #gentleparenting #cyclebreakers
Hey friends! I haven’t done an intro in a whil Hey friends! I haven’t done an intro in a while, so thought I’d do a fun and quick one on this reel. 🥰 I became a mom nearly 13 years ago and my kids have been my greatest teachers. I didn’t start out as a conscious parent and I hadn’t a clue what reparenting or inner child work was at that time in my life. I quit my corporate marketing job a year after my first child was born, went on to get certified as a family wellness coach, struggled with years of secondary infertility, finally had a second child after an extremely hard journey, and began immersing and educating myself about all things conscious parenting and re-parenting. I’m now well on my way to finishing a second professional certification as a conscious parenting coach and am grateful for all that I’m learning through that program. I’m also glad that my ADHD brain allows me to hyperfocus on things I really care about, like helping to support and empower parents who are on this journey with me. (side note: it’s not all rainbows being neuro-spicy, and it definitely shows up in parenting for me). I love playing basketball, volleyball, and ping pong, and I also love and need lots of time alone (that doesn’t mean I get it, but I love it when I do). I’m very much a work in progress and my kids reveal to me every day where I still have room to grow. I’m truly, genuinely grateful for each an every one of you and appreciate this community more than you know. 🙏💕 I would love to know in the comments...what’s a fun fact about you and/or what parenting win are you most proud of recently? Share one, both, or something else entirely if you like! Thank you for doing this courageous work together!!! P.S. If you’re looking for support, I have lots of resources at the link in my bio. My free guide, podcast interviews, my blog, and some paid products can all be found there.

Why do I talk about - and speak out against - puni Why do I talk about - and speak out against - punishment on this page so much? Because inserting pain/shame/fear into the learning process for a child fractures the secure attachment that children so desperately need and crave (physiologically and emotionally) with their caregiver as they grow up. ALSO: as adults who may have been punished, emotionally or physically, as kids, we are still to this day, dealing with the aftermath of that way of parenting. It shows up in our friendships, in our self-confidence (or lack thereof), in our marriages, and of course, in the way we parent. Now, if you are reading this and you are absolutely determined to respond with “well, this is what’s wrong with kids today, they’re not punished ENOUGH!” - first, just save your time and energy because I get that comment daily and I will simply encourage you to go find some SCIENCE that proves that’s true (if you want to save some time, it doesn’t exist). When I make videos like this, I am creating this content for parents who want to find a different way to guide and discipline (teach) their child without punishing them. These messages are meant to remind and encourage you that punishment serves no purpose in parenting and when you get pushback from other family members or society that tells you “kids just need a good whoopin” 😑 then please come back here to remind yourself that kids need a SECURE ATTACHMENT, not physical or emotional violence, to learn and be emotionally resilient. Because this isn’t just about us anymore, it’s about what we are passing on to our children. If you’re ready to say goodbye to: ❌Losing your temper with your kids ❌ Punishing them because that’s how you were raised ❌Not feeling good enough as a parent ❌Power struggles between you and your children ❌Finding yourself repeating patterns you learned from your own parents ❌Not feeling like anyone is listening to you Then, I would invite you to check out the Connected Kid Collection at the link in my bio. You deserved to be supported on your cycle-breaking journey. #consciousparenting #innerchild #holisticparenting #gentleparenting #cyclebreakers
Your anger does not make you a bad mom. 🥹🫶💕Believe me when I tell you that I know firsthand the shame of feeling “angry all the time.” I can also tell you from personal experience that the only thing that disrupted this cycle of mom rage, guilt/shame, and trying to “do better,” (later/rinse/repeat) was self-compassion and inner reflection of what was behind my anger. And it wasn’t me being rotten to the core. It was me having unmet needs, unspoken boundaries, and unhealed wounds. But underneath my anger, I wasn’t “bad.” I was a human being with needs I deserved to take care of and express. The same goes for you and our kids. If you grew up not being allowed to be angry or have big feelings, please know that you can still change this narrative- for yourself and your children. We can raise kids (and ourselves) to know that our anger is nothing to be ashamed of, but rather, an emotion with something to tell us. What is your anger telling you? ❤️ As parents, we have the opportunity - and responsibility - to break these cycles and overwrite these disempowering beliefs. Because this isn’t just about us anymore. It’s about what we are passing on to our children. If you’re ready to receive the support you deserve, I’ve got you covered with the Connected Kid Toolkit.

How many of you grew up with parents who were so p How many of you grew up with parents who were so proud of themselves because they “kept you in line?” When in, reality, you were just terrified of being a child who made mistakes because of the punishments you’d face? An exclusively compliant child is a scared child. It’s emotionally safe and developmentally appropriate for a child to push back and test the limits. That’s a topic we talk about regularly where I’m pursuing another certification in my professional development journey at @jaiinstituteforparenting ! 😄 I absolutely love learning and better understand the child development so that we can better understand and set more appropriate expectations for children. Too many adults expect kids to pop out and be fully capable of regulating their emotions, when most adults are struggling to do so. If you’re looking for some support on your conscious parenting and reparenting journey, be sure to check out my Connected Kid Toolkit. It’s a powerful bundle of 3 parenting products for raising more confident, compassionate children and helping yourself become the deeply connected parent you aspire to be. #jaiinstituteforparenting #reparenting #consciousparenting #gentleparenting #cyclebreakers
As children, we were likely raised on external val As children, we were likely raised on external validation (others' approval of us), so it makes sense that as parents/adults, we still rely on that metric to decide whether or not we're "good" parents. Unfortunately, that comes at a high cost to our children. If we're basing our parenting "success" on our child's performance, then we are setting them up to follow in our same addiction to external validation. Our biggest victories often happen in the most quiet, humbling ways that no one else sees: the apologies we make when we mess up, the validation of our child's feelings (even if those feelings don't make "sense" to us), the advocacy of our kids in classrooms, institutions, and within systems that treat kids like second-class citizens. THOSE are the real victories, IMHO. Those are worthy of flexing. 🙂 I included a card within my Connected Kid Collection that briefly touches on this idea that we want to instill in our kids: that they are WORTHY and LOVALBE regardless of their achievements. I also included multiple journal prompts on this topic inside the Reparenting Workbook that comes with the Collection because often as parents, we need to hear - and work through- this message, too. And, don't forget: I can ship these cards to dozens of countries worldwide! Here are just some of the countries I've had the privilege of shipping to in the last couple of months!
