Guardians of
the Story
You have shown up! In a world where conscious parenting so often takes a back seat, that is admirable. Thanks for being the guardian of your child’s story.
Every story has a dragon or a villain. Our parenting story is no different. We desperately want to safeguard our children from negative influences and tragedy within their story. We ourselves experience plot twists such as divorce, relocation and loss, which in turn affect our children. And then we fall into bed at night wailing the age-old “Mea culpa, mea culpa!”
How do we help our children navigate through this life while growing in confidence and ease? How do we guard their story?
The GUARDIAN section of the My Story Tribe platform will offer guidance, research material, videos and discussions for parents and teachers on all of the topics that the young Tribe members are dealing with in their journals. We got you covered! From bullying, to peer orientation, to social media, to hormones, to diagnoses such as dyslexia and more, our team of collaborators will contribute information, tools and products regarding every aspect surrounding mental wellness and emotional resilience in our children.

Here’s to our children! May they venture into their teenage years knowing who they are and liking their story’s main character.

When we ask our children about their day, children often see it more as a direct confrontation rather than a caring question. Often they learn to say what we as adults would like to hear to avoid upsetting us or in distrust of our parental response. Whatever the reason may be, My Story will provide your child with the opportunity to process and think about their day within a safe space and without having to face direct questions about it. Using verbal questions similar to their reflection stories will allow them to share the story of their day in a more fun and less confrontational way.

We often have a need to connect with our children on a friendship level. We want to get to know them and understand them, but when they dare to share their true selves with us, we tend to reprimand or teach them. Connecting with your child will require mirroring who they are in a truly accepting and honest way. My Story Journal for Pre-Teens will give your child the opportunity to reflect on their day. It will allow them to develop a story of who they are, how their stories influences others and make them aware of the stories around them. Sharing these stories within the family is pivotal in connecting and growing, understanding and bonding with out children.

A strong sense of self develops when we allow our children to face difficult situations and find a suitable resolution themselves. It is very hard as parent not to interfere, especially when we feel that they are facing social injustices. However, when we socially interfere, we often give our children the message that being an outsider, having a unique story, is not acceptable. What we should be doing is strengthening their story so that they feel confident in standing on their own. The My Story Tribe will provide your child with the platform to find their story and be proud of it.
