While Inamojo is about 5 to 9 year old emotional development and regulation. I think it goes hand in hand for the parent to understand there own emotional development and regulation.
The parent needs to know its all well and good to be doing all the things I.e. Yoga, Meditation etc but if your not doing the inner work yourself it's just extra hard.
That even when your little one is having a meltdown, that it can be so hard to remain calm. Why because maybe your own parents didn't remain calm when you were melting down. Or maybe that particular day was hard and in that moment everything was just too much. That in this "new age" fooy CHOOSING to be a calm understanding parent is sometimes is really freaking hard.
I saw this post and resonated with it and as it I'd you! The parent reading this. I thought maybe you may also relate.
"Gentle parenting isn’t letting your children run over you . Gentle parenting is still PARENTING . It’s parenting without violence and aggression , but with guidance and love instead . It takes an unfathomable amount of patience , so much redirecting and so many conversations , but it’s worth it , because in the end you will have children who are kind , respectful (when you deserve respect) , patient , and emotionally equipped for reality and future relationships . That is such a rewarding feeling . I’m not perfect . I’m still working on figuring parenthood out , but I’m willing to put in the work so that I can give my children the best version of myself🤍."
