About Joyful Parents


Joyful Parenting includes spending time in nature

 Joyful Parents connects you to the soul of your child

Remember:  It is the gift of YOU that your children are longing for.  Joyful Parents can guide you to be able to truly see your child for who they are, not what you want them to be. We are not mainstream parents doing it like everybody else does.  We are deeply questioning how we parent, what effect it has on our children and what it means to connect to the soul of our child.

Joyful Parents is about getting to the heart and soul of yourself, your children and the world. Many parents come into contact with Joyful Parents by ordering a Child Soul Card reading for their child

About Kathy White

 Joyful Parenting is:  About You

Joyful Parents is designed for you to explore Joyful Parenting.  It is for you, to show it’s possible to experience parenthood as your soul’s journey.  For those parents who are open to it parenting can be one of the most amazing experiences of an entire lifetime.  You might not be a perfect parent (I’ve yet to meet one!) yet my experience is that you can discover how everything you do is perfect.  All YOUR complaining, crying, whining, whinging, (yes,  admit it! You are not always the parent you want to be) and the demands that you put on yourself, are simply reflected back to you by your children. Their complaining, crying, whining, whinging is for you.   All they are doing is offering you an invitation to grow, to develop and to be fully present with what is.  To be fully present to life itself.

Joyful Parents: A Social Enterprise

5

As a Social Enterprise, the ethos of Joyful Parents is to be a business for social and environmental good. To bring the concept of joyful parenting to those parents out there who need it.  Any profits the business make flow back toward parents who, for whatever reason, might not be able to afford their own parent coaching or training materials.  Social Enterprise is about business moving in ethical, ecological and socially minded directions. I am proud to be a part of this growing movement.
