Father’s Day

Father's DayBy A North Vancouver Dad

As a Dad, I am against a special day for parents. I want the emphasis to stay on the year rather than one day. I don’t want our kids to learn that expressing their love happens once a year via a hallmark card or a dinner out. I would like to feel the expression of love and appreciation all year round.

 

From A Kid’s Perspective

By Bev’s Daughter

As a daughter, I don’t like the commercialization of Parents’ Days. My parents taught me not to just throw money at it. I like the idea of a Mother or Father choosing what they want to do. The Kids don’t choose, but we give of our time and we write an honest letter.

Mastery Practice Tool

Our Most Powerful Parenting Tool

 

Notice the moments when you are asking your children to be an "expectation" you have that you yourself are not addressing. We can model self-growth to our children by being honest with ourselves around our own growth. We can model the following:

 
  • Non-judgment of ourselves when we lose it
  • How we pick ourselves up and self correct
  • Practicing self-love and acceptance rather than looking to others
  • Self care and how we honour our bodies, our intentions and our lives
 

This is not about being perfect, or living a life of guilt or regret. This is about maintaining our focus on the biggest version of who we are, and being on that journey with no judgment of ourselves. We all make mistakes and fall into the pot holes, but it’s our humour, commitment, and love for ourselves that is our most powerful teaching tool.

Testimonial

Our ability, as parents, to support our children to thrive in stressful situations is becoming more and more important. Children need very specific tools in their self regulation 'tool kits' that they can draw upon to support their success, and trusted adults to coach them in their use. But what are these tools and how to we teach them effectively to our kids?

Thankfully, there is Beverley Pugh! Bev takes a curious and calm approach to supporting children and parents with this journey. She is passionately invested in teaching parents and children ways to reduce anxiety and approach life positively and confidently. Bev is a master of her craft - she draws on years of her own experience as a parent and counsellor to work effectively and respectfully with children and their parents. I have thoroughly enjoyed Bev's recent workshops for parents and children and recommend them to anyone willing to explore specific strategies to help their children thrive at home, at school and in their community.
