Can we hear our children before birth? Many wonder whether it is possible to hear there unborn child before actual conception, the answer is yes we can and do hear our children before conception, before we conceive we can feel their physical presence, perhaps in the subtle wind, the smell of a flower, images come forth in your minds eye...

Editor's Note from Carol Lawrence & Stacy Toten: We related so deeply to Kathy Parra's Conscious Conception article because we also received communications from our children before their births. A soul's connection to another soul has no boundaries as Kathy so eloquently demonstrates in her personal story.

 1. Our behaviors rarely mean what you think they mean. Awesomism Changing the World!

 2. We experience so much more than meets the eye...

Editor's Note from Carol Lawrence and Stacy Toten: We have so much respect and admiration for Suzy Miller. We've read her books, interviewed her and  watched her videos. Autism changed her to the core and she is passing on what she has learned with the world. She truly is changing the way people look at autism! These gifted children are not a curse they are a gift to the world.

My 11 year-old youngest son is a very ordinary student in school, but the fortuneteller told me that he´s going to be a professor of mathematics some day. How does this argumentcan be proved by means of astrology, even if the child's schooldoesn't support this assertion?...

My Mom first put me on a diet when I was about 8 years old. None of my photos show an overweight girl, though I wasn’t skinny either. Rather, I was an average-weight girl with the body type of her Mom, and her Grandma, none of whom were scrawny...

Editor's Note from Carol Lawrence and Stacy Toten: Beautiful article written about a mindless parent not thinking about the outcome of her decision based on being caught up in the cultural diet craze and the effects it had on her daughter. To all of us parents, that's why we believe Intentional Conscious Parenting is so important! Everything we say to our children has effects and consequences no matter how mundane we may think it is.

Editor's Note from Carol Lawrence and Stacy Toten: When's the last time you heard some wisdom from the Dalai Lama? Raffi and the Dalai Lama sit down to talk about honouring the world's children. Even the children in the mother's womb. This video resonates with our intentional conscious parenting beliefs and is perfect for the All Things Healing parenting community. We are sure you will enjoy this as much as we did.

Editor's Note from Carol Lawrence and Stacy Toten: Adeline is an adorable 4 year old who gives a presentation on how to make a "pinky dinky smoothie." We just fell in love with this video and were inspired to make our own smoothie and we hope you are to.

I took my boys to the library on Friday. In the back there is a little room for kids – it has a rocking horse and a few toys. Koa (2) was delighted with the rocking horse and got right on. Another toddler was there too with her mom. She was clearly not thrilled that Koa was on the rocking horse...

Editor's Note: I can REALLY relate to this article about that strange feeling I get when my toddler doesn't display any social graces. I like Leslie's take on this. Sometimes a little bit of observation and verbalization of a best guess about a toddler's feelings is all that's needed to diffuse a tense situation between children. I'm left wondering why I often think things have to be so complicated. Simpler is better, especially with toddlers!

As I was rocking my baby to sleep for his nap this morning several hours earlier than his regular nap time, I remembered my first weeks with Everest and how uncertain I often felt as a new mother. As sleep has always been one of our most challenging areas (with both boys), I often consulted The Books to see if I could glean a new tip that would help me help my baby to learn how to sleep...

Editor's Note: In this article, Sheryl Paul, M.A, explains how societal expectations can foster much anxiety and insecurity for mothers, and anyone involved in a huge life transition. She shares her wonderful insight on welcoming this and other life transitions with gentleness and self-acceptance.
