Evidence is overwhelming!
I haven't done the randomized controlled trial. Yet.
But I'm pretty confident conscious parents have better sex.
That's because conscious parenting is not only a healthier way of parenting, it is also a prescription for using the healthiest communication and behavior we can in all our relationships.
Which benefits a conscious parents everywhere she/he goes. Ahem. Including the bedroom.
Let's consider.
Conscious parents believe everyone's feelings and needs are important, and look for ways to get everyone's needs get met. Check.
They use direct, authentic communication to communicate those feelings and needs, instead of manipulation or blame. Check.
They prioritize a relationship based on trust and respect, rather than on shame or control. Check.
When they feel triggered, they trust their own feelings, but also look inward, questioning whether their underlying beliefs are serving them or not. Check.
They take responsibility for their own feelings, instead of using guilt and manipulation to blame others. Check.
Finally, conscious parents know they will be happiest in parenting and life, when they get their own needs met, instead of waiting for other people to guess and meet those needs.
Making them happier, healthier, more satisfied. In and out of the bedroom.
Or, at least, that's my guess.
