You may not realise how inspiring you were until they show that passion themselves. It can take years!

Remember, if your not having fun, itโ€™s probably not fun for them and definitely not inspiring!

Children have bad days too. They might present as angry and persistent with challenging behaviours and verbal outbursts.

We can easily step into lecture mode and our model of thinking can be; โ€that child needs a telling offโ€.

What they are struggling to communicate is โ€œIโ€™m having a really hard time and I need you to hold all these feelings that are too big for me.โ€

Acknowledgement and acceptance goes a long way. You can let them know why the behaviour was not safe when they see your helping.

I hope this little infographic will be a source of calm and comfort when life gets busy and stressful.

Be kind and patient with yourself and ensure you make time for de-stressors everyday. If we donโ€™t do the things that bring us joy we risk burnout and responding to the needs of others in stress.

We can instil in our children that their emotional well-being is a priority and give them the tools and skills to self-regulate and reflect. Most importantly we can show them that joy is always within reach and it is not materialistic.

Otherwise, they internalise negative interpersonal experiences and our feedback can be harmful to their self-esteem and confidence.

Let them know:

1. You are always enough! If you ever question yourself about this know itโ€™s the experience that is not enough. Itโ€™s likely lacking connection, joy, gratitude, nurture or compassion. In friendships, school, hobbiesโ€ฆliterally everything, ๐˜๐Ž๐” ๐€๐‘๐„ ๐„๐๐Ž๐”๐†๐‡!
2. Never place your worth in someone elseโ€™s hands. Believe in yourself and surround yourself with those that value and believe in you.
3. Remember another persons judgement on you is often clouded by their own experiences and insecurities, donโ€™t take it personally, be forgiving and share your kindness and empathy.

Be patient, be kind and always be true to yourself.

In our best efforts to parent and educate we see the whole child and all their qualities and challenges. Challenges can often show up and be described as โ€œchallenging behavioursโ€ or he/she โ€œwonโ€™t do as their toldโ€.

When you look beyond the behaviour you can start to identify the real challenge and help a child to restore calm.

We have all had times we have responded in stress and then realised that we too were overwhelmed and given the choice we would of responded better.

In doing this we build trust and safety and give a name to โ€œchallenging behaviourโ€.

โ€œItโ€™s too noisyโ€, โ€œI need you to see meโ€, โ€œI find this task too difficultโ€, or โ€œIโ€™m sad todayโ€.
