As parents, we've all lost our patience before with our kids - we let a scream go, or yelled a little too loud, right? I know I have...and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.
Bella Lucia Children’s Book Series, and “Healthy Feelings” Crusader, Kristina Lucia Pezza is on a mission to show/ help parents set up with children (and parents) the importance of embracing and working through your feelings so that we can set kids up with confidence and self-awareness. This includes helping parents find the space and strength to have patience with their children.
In this episode, Kristina helps shed some light on how to keep your patience through examples from her own life and shows how important this can be for our childrens' fragile sense of self.
Kristina experienced trauma as a child, which she discusses in the episode, and through working the 12 steps of Adult Children of Alcoholics, she knows firsthand how vital it is to have the tools to communicate your feelings in order to be heard in an effective way. That’s why she is teaching these important concepts through the main character of her children’s book.
In each story, Bella Elephant gives people the space to feel their feelings, she learns an important life lesson, and the reader witnesses how her growth has a wonderful ripple effect on her community. Currently, there are 8 titles in the series with a plan for a total of 12.
