| At Prenatal Parenting we are privileged to
hear many heart-warming stories that have evolved from the implementation
of Dr. Wirth’s Prenatal Parenting techniques, and I will be sharing some
of these with you in this column. The following is an E-mail that The
Institute For Perinatal Education received from Michelle Hilty, who is a
Prenatal Parenting Instructor.
Michelle writes, “Here is a story to make Linda (Wirth) smile and
see what an impact she has. My ten-year old son has always been very hard
on himself and extremely negative about himself and I have tried sooooo
many things over the years to try and change it and NOTHING has worked
until now! When Linda teaches her portion (of the course) she has
us all stand up, stretch our arms and say ‘Today is a GREAT day’.
Well, this week I was teaching my son that it is okay to think he
didn’t do his personal best, but he also needed to focus on how he could
change things. So, he did and he made a couple of choices that we made
into two or three affirmations together, but the first one is ALWAYS
‘Today is a GREAT day’. It has become a little thing between us.
We ask each other throughout the day, ‘What day is it?’
and of course the answer is ‘Today is a GREAT day!’ He gets such a kick
out of it and loves it! Instead of him saying, ‘Bye, Mom,’ in his
normal, drab, dreary tone every morning, he walks out of the door saying,
‘What day is this?’ and I will tease him with ‘Monday, Tuesday, …’ and he
says, ‘No, Mom. It’s a GREAT day!’ I have to say that it warms my heart to
finally, after all these years, see such a wonderful glow and smile on my
son’s face everyday. … without you guys and such a simple little thing, I
wouldn’t have it!”
Thank you, Michelle, for sharing this wonderful story with us and
HAVE A GREAT! DAY! |
