187 Raising Flourishing Children: Parenting, Temperament, and Early Development, All Informed by IFS

No one parents perfectly, but how do we as parents best love our children, how do we create a family environment in which children will thrive?  How do we animate our homes with love?  How do we create conditions for children to form secure bonds with Mom and Dad?  How do we discipline from love rather than from anger or fear?  How do children’s God images form?  How do we help children launch successfully from the home into the world?  Join Dr. Gerry Crete, Theresa Robinson, and Dr. Peter as we discuss the answers to these and so many more questions, all grounded in a Catholic worldview and through an IFS lens.

Do you want the human formation that can help you be a better parent, informed by IFS and grounded in a Catholic understanding of the human person?  And do you want to go on this adventure with other likeminded Catholics together in community?  If so, the Resilient Catholics Community may be just what you need.  The RCC offers a structured, step-by-step way to better come to understand and love your own parts, so you can better understand others in their parts.  The RCC opens for new applications in the months of October, February and June.  Find out more here:  https://soulsandhearts.com/rcc.  Have questions?  Contact Dr. Peter at crisis@soulsandhearts.com or at 317.567.9594.
