Ok! Let’s talk about this!
Being treated in such a way that one feels shame, embarrassment or anger is NEVER ok so let’s stop teaching children that “teasing” is an appropriate and acceptable way to express positive emotions towards another. And let’s stop teaching our children to receive that kind of treatment.
How do we do that?
1. Teach kids that their emotions are valid. It is OK to be upset when someone else is not being nice. Create safety for them.
2. Teach them to learn their own boundaries and communicate them. Teacher them how to create their own safety.
And…
3. Teach kids healthy ways to express themselves. This teaches kids to create safety for each other.
It is not a mystery why, as adults, we seek people who are not safe; physically, mentally or emotionally. We seek what is familiar to us because we do not trust what is unfamiliar to us.
But guess what?
The unfamiliar is not always out to get you. I promise.
If you want to learn how to stop abandoning yourself; recognize crossed boundaries, unhealthy patterns and general “stuckness,” send me a message and book your first session free.
