Children need our attention and often lack the nec

Children need our attention and often lack the necessary skills to ask 🗣

Some need more ❤️ than others and may ask for it in the most unloving ways.

What is emotional regulation? It is the ability to control how and when emotions are expressed.

Big feelings are difficult for young children to navigate, 😡🥺😭so it is our job as parents to model and teach because they are still learning 🧠.

Young children do not have the ability as adults to self-regulate. This is a lifelong process with rapid development through early childhood. How many of us can lose our cool? 🤔

Children need ongoing support with social and emotional learning🤗.

This happens in their every day routines at home, school and any other social interactions.

It is easy to love someone when they are loveable; let’s choose to see the best in the ones who need it the most❤️

When children and teens are acting out or aggressi

When children and teens are acting out or aggressive, they are not capable of reasoning and may even be experiencing an adrenalin rush; so, they can’t even hear, let alone have the capacity to reason it out. What they need from us is to help them restore calm and take from our “peaceful” reserve, to achieve the balance they are struggling to attain on their own.

Being calm is not being passive/permissive or shrugging off the issue; it is a mature response that models and teaches an appropriate response to whatever triggered a reaction or emotional response.

Loving unconditionally is to love someone even when they are not so loveable. The most important part is how we manage and control our own emotions when faced with challenging behaviors and to not allow ourselves to be provoked.

When faced with behaviors that are provoking, we need to make a conscious decision in that moment that we refuse to allow ourselves to be provoked. This takes practice, it will get easier as we become aware of our own reactions and response. Modeling calm to someone else’s chaos has an impact, even if we do not see immediate changes, know that it is a long-term investment. ❤️

Comparing ourselves to others can often rob us of

Comparing ourselves to others can often rob us of our joy.
Likewise, comparing our children to siblings or peers, can create doubt, worry and even shame in a child’s abilities.
Each child will find their own unique path throughout the lifespan, with their own special qualities.
Hold tight to your joy, in their timing, they will thrive!❤️
