Lisa believes that building a strong connection with our children is essential for understanding their needs and fostering a healthy parent-child relationship. She shares personal experiences, including a moment of misunderstanding her child's preferences and realizing the importance of connecting on a deeper level. Lisa highlights the significance of educating ourselves about gentle parenting and recommends resources like "The Conscious Parent" and "The Whole-Brain Child." She also delves into her own upbringing, reflecting on strict Haitian parenting practices and how it Initially shaped her approach to parenting.
