IS YOUR CHILD...
Hitting, pushing, taking, throwing, or pulling the dog's tail?
Asking for one more story, or one more game before bed?
Doing things that they know that you don't want them do to?
WOULD YOU LOVE TO...
Really understand the difference between Limits and Loving Limits?
Know exactly what you can do and say when you offer Loving Limits?
Embody Loving LImits more so that you actually feel powerful and loving?
THIS DEEP DIVE CAN HELP!
and I know what a difference really getting Loving Limits means!
Many parenting paradigms repeat the phrase, 'children need boundaries' without understanding the true causes of most of children's behaviour that parents find challenging.
Aware Parenting not only understands the cause of most of these behaviours, but it also shows a clear way for parents to respond.
Loving Limits aren't just limits that are loving.
They are a very specific practice that can be used in three different scenarious:
When there's aggression: when a child is hitting, throwing, pushing and taking;
When there's agitation: when a child keeps asking for things and is 'whining';
When there's suppression: such as when a child is distracting themselves from feelings with food, screens or with a dummy or pacifier.
With Aware Parenting, we can offer Loving Limits.
I often say that Loving Limits say no to the behaviour and yes to the feelings causing the behaviour.
I CREATED
THE LOVING LIMITS DEEP DIVE
TO SUPPORT YOU TO REALLY 'GET' LOVING LIMITS
With four main sections:
Introduction:
In this section, I introduce Loving Limits, how they are different from Limits, and how much of a difference they make when our child wants to play with us for hours at bedtime or keeps on asking for more stories, more games or more snacks before bed.
Understanding:
This section gives plenty of detail about exactly what is required for Loving Limits, exactly what you can do and say (and I invite you to make them your own); and what you can do if they don't appear to 'work'! I explain why I don't recommend saying things like, 'it's not okay to hit,' 'be gentle,' or 'we don't hit in this family' and what I recommend instead.
Embodying:
In this last section, I invite you on a journey to explore more deeply into what goes on for you in relation to Loving Limits and what might be getting in the way. I offer suggestions for how you can help yourself feel the kind of safety and warm that really help Loving Limits do what they're designed to do!
Plus a 2024 update!
Here, I share the importance of including information whilst we offer the loving limit, the three situations we don't recommend offering loving limits, and more about language and loving limits.
THE DEEP DIVE INCLUDES:
4 videos / audios
(nearly 2.5 hours)
80 page PDF plus 14 page update
Evernote notes

HELLO! MY NAME IS
MARION ROSE
and I love Aware Parenting!
I came up with the term 'Loving Limits' several years ago, based on the principle that already existed in Aware Parenting.
In my first two or three years of parenting, back in the early 2000s, I found Loving Limits in response suppression and accumulated feelings really hard.
Once I learnt to embody loving limits in those situations, I later found that I wasn't yet able to embody loving limits in response to aggression. With experience, I did learn to do that.
I know from experience what a huge difference actually being able to offer a child a Loving Limit makes. And the next level of ease that comes when we can really embody that.
I'm so delighted to offer parents more clarity and support with this.
I've been practicing Aware Parenting since my daughter was born in 2002, have been an Aware Parenting instructor since 2005, and am a Level 2 Aware Parenting instructor and the Regional Coordinator for Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia.
I'M SENDING YOU LOTS OF LOVE
If your child is hitting, or doing things that they know you don't want them to do, or you want to help them stop using a dummy, I'm sending you so much love.
If this mini course calls to you, I'm so willing for you to find it helpful!
