Repost from Power of Play Counselling 💕
•
I see a lot of talk about co-regulation and recently a post that guided parents to DO all these things to co-regulate (turn the room dark, put on music, etc.) but that’s trying to regulate your child, that’s not co-regulation.

Co-Regulation is actually all about us, our energy, our regulation. We first match our child (if only briefly) and then work at regulating ourself, to which the child then matches.

It’s a state of being rather than doing.

I hope this helps 💗🙏

When professionals use words like "connection", the word seems to take on a deeper meaning and people seem to be confused. The word is thrown around as if it is a universal term of parenting that should be understood. The truth is connection is really quite simple, it is that feeling that you have with those special people in your life where you feel you are safe to be you and they love you not matter what. Connection is made up of those moments when you laugh so hard together that it feels like nobody else is around. When you can be upset and know that you won't be rejected. It is when you feel heard, understood and valued. No wonder it is so important.

Thank you Responsive Parenting Inspirations for this inspiring image.

"Unfortunately, a lot of parents still believe it’s their child’s behaviour that needs to change, but most often, it is actually the parent’s reaction to the behaviour that needs to change first.

In a lot of cases, parents actually need to change their reaction to their child’s behaviour, if they want the behaviour to change. But what they will find through that journey is often more empathy for their child, a greater emotional capacity for their child’s emotional needs. It often begins as a pursuit to change behaviour and ends up in a deeper understanding of our child’s behaviour and our own."
