A little mid November reminder that you don't have to do ALL the things and there are a lot of reasons you and your children are feeling overwhelmed and tired. Go gently.

Anger and aggression are commonly used to mask anxiety and sadness- states that are considered 'weak' or 'vulnerable' are hidden behind expressions that push people away.

It makes complete sense when you think about it - protection and safety are the brains main concern.

So next time your child is communicating in this way. I invite toy to get curious. What might be under what we see?

Did you know that when we are stressed, overwhelmed or our brain perceives a threat we regress? This means we start to behave at a younger emotional age than our chronological age.

You've probably noticed this in your children and thought (or said), you're 5, why are you acting like a 2yo!? (Or insert any age, because it happens frequently through the years).

We even do it as adults. Even been in a situation and thought "this person really needs to act their age!"

When this is happening, especially with children the best thing we can do is meet them where they are. You might feel silly. But I promise the fastest way to help them move through it is to start where they are.

This sounds easy, it's actually one of the hardest things you will ever do! But it will change your life for the better if you are brave enough to try 😍

Ouch, do you feel this one deeply?

"I'm okay", "I'm fine", even "I'm good", can be effective covers for the way we are REALLY feeling.

After all, how often do we ask "how are you?" without really listening (or even stopping for) the answer.

I wonder what would happen if we stared asking those questions with purpose and an intention to REALLY hear.

Ahh, this is one of the most confronting realisations we can have as parents!

Often it takes a lot of self reflection and honesty to accept this truth.

Our children (and those we come into contact with), came into our lives for a reason, many get curious about what that reason might be.

I've had SO many conversations lately with parents who feel guilty for not being able to connect with their children's emotional experiences.

When we are raised to shut it down, not let it be seen and be 'fine'; our body learns that feeling those feelings isn't safe, so it protects us from them.

To change this we first need to notice. Starting with noticing that we are not connected, then noticing the little bits that come through or observing with curiosity, our children's experiences.

Over time we will start to re-program ourselves to allow more in.

Go gently, you are doing the best you can right now with what you have. Everything changes, this will too.

Had a very enlightening and informative experience with my child in the supermarket.

An unplanned opportunity to observe their needs and transfer the information into what might be helpful in other environments.

I'm so grateful to my lens of curiosity over criticism or protection. It's not always easy, but it is always helpful.
