Indigenously Parenting …
Parenting Your Teens From Your Instinct and from who they are meant to be innately (ngokwe ndalo yabo).
Along different timelines in our history as a nation - we seem to have forgotten what it truly means to be of indigenous descent - being descendant of an ancestry that prides itself of knowledge practices seldom passed down in books - but through oral family histories.
This seminar is one of those ancient wisdom inspired session on parenting post the birth process - your child coms with their own blueprint that guides you on how to raise them!
I am Nomveliso
Growing up from the village outskirts of the Former Transkei taught me that life is as simple as it is complex. That our natural form is fluid yet connected - that who we become is also innately tied to how we are born and what we are exposed to in the very first foundations of our upbringing. Mostly important that we are always connects to our ROOTS that when we lose our way - going back to our roots helps us to find our way again.
My biggest principle with parenting teens is not to necessarily react to the behavior we use but to look at the ROOTS of such behavior and use this to reform & re-parent.
Top Principles of Indigenously Parenting
No one knows your child better than you do, and no one can teach you more about your child than you can. However, life's challenges can make us forget this, causing self-doubt to creep in. We start comparing ourselves to our neighbors and adopt their methods. By the time we realize it, we no longer recognize the child in front of us.
In indigenous cultures, raising a child is often a communal effort. The support of extended family and community members plays a crucial role in a child's upbringing. This principle emphasizes the importance of community involvement and collective responsibility in nurturing and educating children.
Each generation has its own goals and paths, learning from previous ones to do better. When we know better, we do better. However, without this knowledge, we may repeat cycles and wound the next generations. This principle emphasizes the importance of learning from our family lineage to create positive change for future generations.
Colonization and modernization have often made us forget our true selves or led us to believe that our cultural identity no longer matters. These influences can detach us from our roots and make us feel disconnected from our heritage. It's essential to remember that our cultural identity is a vital part of who we are and how we raise our children. Embracing our traditions, values, and practices can strengthen our family bonds and provide a solid foundation for our children's growth.
Indigenous parenting focuses on the holistic development of a child, nurturing their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. This balanced approach ensures that children grow up to be well-rounded individuals who can thrive in all aspects of life.
Building families with intention and infusing indigenous consciousness in parenting methods are crucial. This principle focuses on being mindful and deliberate in how we form and nurture our families, ensuring that our actions align with our cultural values and goals.
My sessions will help you reconnect with your natural instincts, embrace your cultural identity, and learn to trust yourself again. Together, we can rediscover the importance of who we are and ensure that our children grow up with a strong sense of self, community, and heritage.
Parenting Teens
with Family Integration Framework
When parents bring their teens' behaviors to me, they often forget that every situation has underlying root causes.
My Parenting Teens Seminars are structured to start with understanding where we come from as individuals and as parents before attempting to unpack our children’s behaviors. We then create a map of the journey from then to now, using proven principles and methods that I have learned over the past 30 years.
