    Dr. Beth's Compassionate Parenting is:

  • To treat yourself with as much tenderness and compassion as you would your child, your partner, and your best friend.
  • To take care of your own needs even in a crowded day to bring you health and peace of mind so that you could then take better care of those you love.
  • To know there is no one right way to parent: try to get the best information you can and then decide what works for you and your child.
  • To learn from mistakes, without believing you should never make mistakes or beating yourself up for making them.
  • To identify your parenting style and to establish a ‘good fit’ between your natural temperament and way of behaving and that of your baby.
  • To have a sense of humor and learn to laugh at mistakes and mishaps.
  • Parents want to be the best they can be:

  • Some of the toughest challenges for parents come from our own deeply rooted fear that we are not doing a good enough job.
  • We want approval from others that we are good parents. We want to look good; to our own mothers, mothers-in-law, friends, and even strangers on the street.
  • We want to be perfect and feel bad about ourselves when something goes wrong. We feel that any ‘bad behavior’ or mistakes on the part of our child is a reflection of us.
  • We lose sight of trusting ourselves and don’t take time to understand our child’s emotional needs.
  • When something goes wrong, it is an opportunity to learn and do something different.
  • When you find yourself overreacting, something has triggered a feeling about an incident from your own past as a child. Go back to the past to find the hook so you are no longer a victim to the past in ways that impact your life now.
