I’ve received many inspired comments and SWYS stories by email over the years. Now you can leave me yours right here! I look forward to hearing from you.
I’ve finally found a great philosophy of how to lead my children in a peaceful way. I must work on myself to improve my attitude to my girls because it really works. At this time however I am just at the beginning of this adventurous journey. Thank you for the website and the little book online. It helps me a lot.
Every time I remember to “say what I see” with my son or daughter, unexpected and wonderful things happen in our relationship. Thank you for so clearly explaining a way to be present with children.
Parents, do not let the simplicity of this approach fool you. SWYS is the “how” of unconditional love. This empowered, empowering world view has the capacity to create world peace–one child, famly and one person at a time!
I can’t count how many times I have heard “I wish your mom was MY mom” or “I wish my mom was as cool as yours.”
Being raised with the SWYS method is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. Not only do I love and respect my mom, I love and respect myself! That’s something no one can take away from me, ever. I have always felt powerful and important, and I know that I am capable of anything. Plus, I love spending time with my family–my mother and sister are my best friends, and I love that we are, and always have been, so close.
Betsy,
What a delightful comment to receive on Mother’s Day! I remember asking my mom, “What was your greatest achievement?” She answered, “You kids.” I know exactly how she felt.
Mom
Thank you so much for sending me a copy of “Say What You See” It will be immensely helpful for the parents I am working with and I will be integrating the very practical, doable suggestions into the Filial Therapy I am providing, as well as referring them to your website.
This is a wonderful book, thank you for putting it online for everybody to read!
I really wish that you can reach the goal of 1 million people reading it by next fall.
