Welcome

to my blog, Connect thru Love. My postings will be about changing the parenting paradigm from consequences and control, which do NOT, I believe, have long term effects on behavior, to a love based teaching/living model. And what i appreciate most about this model, even from my very right-brained perspective, is that it is based on neuroscience and what and how the brain processes experiences. And though I am a therapist, when I work with families who are encountering difficult behaviors in their children, I am an educator and a coach to the parents.

I invite you to not only read, but to comment and ask questions regarding behaviors you are encountering with your children. And if you are a teacher, counselor/therapist, or case manager, I would love to hear from you as well.

To ask a question, please email me at connecthrulove@gmail.com
or simply post it in the comment section.

"Trying Differently Rather Than Harder"

The book "Trying Differently Rather Than Harder" is a must read for anyone dealing with a child or children who may fall under Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder diagnosis. For that matter, it is a must read for anyone dealing with a child who has severe behaviors because it speaks to the issues of neurological disorders of most of the mental health diagnoses given to children with behavior problems. It is available through Amazon or through www.FASCETS.org It is less than 100 pages long and very readable.
