5:1 and Connection

Research shows that for every negative interaction we need five positive interactions. These positive interactions don't need to be extravagant, in fact, the simpler the better so that they can become part of your daily routine. 

The thing is-the positive needs to happen as close to the negative as possible. So how do you come up with positive interactions when you're already emotionally exhausted. 

You don't have to! I have done the work for you and if you're reading this I have sent a sample set of my 5:1 cards for you to print and use as needed. The whole set will be available, soon! 

You can grab the cards when you need some quick ideas for reconnecting with your child. 

The key- you do these together,  completely uninterrupted. You don't take pictures of this time. Your phone is away and you are present. 

Do I need to do five different ones,  no! Pick one and engage. Be mindful of your time with your child and pour in everything you have for that 10 minutes or more, if possible.

Make this a habit and you'll see a huge shift in your home.

You're not alone
Hugs,
Joey

Meet Joey Hodlmair

 
Hello! I'm Joey,

A 41 year old mama of one, my miracle baby. I'm a lover of all things nature and you'll often find me barefoot in the garden. I was raised "wild" as many would call it today. I spent my days outside as a child, collecting rocks and sticks and swimming with my ducks. We made beautiful art from our nature treasures and ate lunch with dirt under our nails. The best part~I was raised by my mom. Unfortunately a woman that didn't know her worth and to this day wonders if the childhood she provided us was enough.

My mom and my childhood~Are the reasons I'm here in this space. To encourage you to find the calm in where your heart calls you to be. To encourage you to leave the hustle behind and be connected with what truly matters. 

I wasn't raised with all the latest and greatest,  but I was raised at home by a mama that made the mundane, magical. Her time was and is a gift. I'm here to tell you to let go of what the world wants you to believe a child needs in order to be happy.

More about me~ I am an empath, raising an emapth. My work is currently supporting families raising emapths.  My love language is acts of service, but I'm working on putting myself at the top of the list. I can play several instruments by ear, but the cello is probably my favorite. I'm a recovering workaholic, once a woman that believed her worth was determined by how much she accomplished...I love homemade food and meals at the table. I am an introvert, that loves being home, yet craves connection. I'm Hispanic, Chinese and Native American. I'm a infertility warrior that once dreamed of 7 children. I'm a work in progress and thankful for this chapter in my life that has taught me to never judge a book by its cover.
