A great post from 👇Give it a read if you’re looking for ways to validate your kid’s experiences!

Injuries happen…especially when we are giving children the space to “be a kid.”

👉🏼Conscious replacements don’t have to model sadness or fear, which is often the concern of parents.

“I don’t want them to see me react because they will cry more!” Sound familiar?

Often, that’s true (mirror neurons), but we can still acknowledge the pain from a state of truth and calm. I.e., “Yikes, dude! (I saw it!) I got you. (I am here.)”👌🏼

➡️ It can be tough because “You’re okay!” can slip out *so easily* and at times, it can feel harmless because usually, they are!

👉🏼 However, acknowledging what actually happened (hurt) is an important part of parent/child dyad. Instead of trying to convince kids out of their feelings, it demonstrates to them, “I believe you! I saw it!” then we can move on effectively.

✨At the end of the day, we all just want to feel seen and heard, not convinced out of what we are experiencing.✨

Try mapping out your average day to see what amount of time you spend in each area! There's no right or wrong answer, but it can be a great exercise in finding what is or is not working well for you.

It's amazing to observe how much power we give our thoughts 💪 - even though they aren't necessarily facts! Our brains process tens of thousands of thoughts every day and they're all dependent on our mood and the situations around us. Often, believing all our thoughts can further our suffering. Try to put some spaces between you and your reactions by examining your thoughts.

1. Is the thought true? Is it 100% absolutely accurate? Can you see the thought in a different way or through the lens of someone else?
2. How does this thought make me feel? Are you holding onto any storylines? Are feelings arising for you?
3. What would it be like if I didn't hold this thought?

Mindfulness Activity: Practice watching your thoughts come and go like a cloud or a wave. ☁️ 🌊

Such powerful phrases from !

“Our kids need to know how we feel about our role as the people who take care of them. They need to know that we can handle things that are big and scary, and that we don't feel burdened by the role.

They also need to know what their role is as a child so they don't forgo their own needs in pursuit of what they think our needs are.

The most important parenting tool we have, is our bond with our children.”
