Ah… a moment of peace. I think every parent wants that more than anything at one time or another. It’s important, as parents, that we do take that time for ourselves. Time for you, time to shop, to relax, to reflect, to let your hair down and play Rock Band, to do what ever you need to do to fill your heart and get your head clear and back in the game.
Debbie Milam is an occupational therapist, a family consultant, and a motivational speaker who helps people and families to reach their full potential. She has created the A Moment of Peace CDs which reminded me to take some time for myself. I received two cds to review, Stress Reduction for Parents and Stress Reduction for Children.
The CD for children is designed to help children learn to relax and let go of their tension. Calming music plays as affirmations are spoken. There are relaxation exercises to help children relax and transition into sleep. Other exercises on the CD help children to deal with anxiety and other emotions and to develop confidence and a positive attitude.
The CD for parents is designed to remind you of the important role you play in your children’s development and their life. I took some time for myself and played the CD. The voice is calming and the music and stories relaxed me. Sometimes taking a small break for yourself is just what you need to carry on.
These CDs are available on Debbie’s website, The Best You Can Be. She also has a new program out called the Stress Less Family Empowerment Program online program which includes six modules that contain a series of relaxation exercises, interactive activities, and powerful insights on peaceful strategies for resolving conflict.
The Deluxe Program lessons will help you and your family to:
- Improve your relationships
- Enhance your interpersonal communication skills
- Decrease stress
- Release anger
- Improve respect and reverence for yourself and others
- Improve your self-worth
- Develop greater inner peace and serenity
- Create a peaceful home
- Develop the deep, joyful connections with your loved ones.
The Deluxe Program retails for $159 and is available in instant download in Adobe PDF. It contains over 170 pages of practical strategies, experiential exercises, and essential tools to create peace within yourself, your family, and your community.
Debbie has offered to give one This Bird’s Day reader the whole Stress Less Family Empowerment Online Program as a giveaway. Included with the giveaway is another $100 worth of bonuses including The Life Changing Special Report: Creating Peace Within, Ways to Create Peace Quick & Easy Reference, 50 Affirmations to Create Peace valued at $15.00, Top Twenty Strategies to Create Peace valued at $15.00, Moment of Peace: Relaxation for Parents valued at $18.00, Moment of Peace: Relaxation for Children valued at $18.00 and the new I Love Being Me Children’s Book.

thanks for the heads up on this series and the chance to win
I could really use this.
Have become a follower of Debbie on Facebook. We could always use more assistance.

I really think this package would be very beneficial to this household many days. Thank you.
Being a grandmother who is raising her 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, I really think that this would come in very useful, possibly for me sometimes more than for our little Bean. Many days living through the child rearing innumerable stages is overwhelming.
I could use this with a teenage daughter and an 8 month old son and being a single mom.
we coul reallu use this.

I think our family would benefit a lot from this. Always a good thing to reduce unneeded stress
ardy22 at earthlink dot net
Our family has grown (emotionally) tremendously for the better over the last year and a half but there is still room for improvement and I’d be interested in these CDs for that reason.
My grandkids really need this. It would be perfect for them.
This sounds like something I would love to try. Learning how to handle stress with small children is a wonderful idea.
I liked this birds day on facebook.
I liked debbie milam on face book.
This sounds soo nice. I could use less stress and so could my family. We all could use better ways of relieving stress and better forms of communication.
