1. We don't always see ourselves as we see our children. In this short video, I explore the often unexamined double standards that we hold for ourselves compared to the beliefs we hold about our child. How we "see" influences how we love, how we parent, how we teach...how we treat our children. How do *you* see?

    Wake up. Undivide your attention. Trash guilt. Fix something broken. Follow a good idea. Let your children tickle you. Birth a conviction. Uni-task. Surrender...(and other ideas for living alive.) -- Lu Hanessian

    We're living in the Age of Distraction. We're also loving in the age of distraction. We may not always notice our disconnection, but our children can always sense when we're here but not there. Often, they have gracious and forgiving ways of letting us know. When we can receive their message and their bid for reconnection, we find our way back to each other. We return to tender. In those moments, we restore our relationship, our balance, and our capacity

    How do you raise a fearless child? In this video, we explore what fearlessness might really be from the inside out. What if being fearless has a lot to do with being afraid...and using our fear to shine the light on those dark places. Fear can be an immobilizer or a teacher. Fear is a gift...if we know how to unwrap it. Be afraid! Be fearless! -- Lu Hanessian
