Inside Parenting 💗

I love this! Henry Cloud has some good things to say about boundaries and many other things regarding relationships and healing. Healing is SO messy and complicated and a PROCESS. But SO necessary so we can have healthy relationships with those around us. Walk towards healing. It’s worth every stumbling step.

Healing is forged in the hard decisions we’d rather avoid. Things like grieving losses fully, setting boundaries with people we love, or asking for help when we’d rather stay silent. But those hard things? They’re the ones that lead us to freedom. Real, lasting change happens when we stop avoiding the pain and start facing it with courage. Which of these healing steps are you working on right now?

Hope is hard to find when we feel lost. Without the anchor of hope we can feel like we are drifting far away or getting tossed by the waves of life. That anchor can keep us confident that no matter what happens, we have a steady stance, during and after the storm. Find and spread some hope today ⚓️

Trauma is very tricky to overcome. It sticks in your brain. It settles in your nervous system. It threatens your peace and robs your body’s calm. ‘Willing it’ to go away does not work. Suppressing the emotions does not work. Trying to hide or distract or numb yourself from it does not work. The body and mind know its still there. Working through it is hard, so hard, but it is worth it. Sometimes it takes more time and effort than you want. And it doesn’t seem fair. Or possible. But healing is possible. Do the work. Keep going. Your loved ones are worth it. You are worth it. ❤️‍🩹💕

Teens are on the onramp to adulthood! This can be so hard for parents, and teens, as roles change. But parents, they will still need you. It just looks different. Independence for your adult children should still be the goal. But relationship with them as adults is also crucial.

👉 Your teen faces a challenging task. He needs to leave you while staying connected to you. He needs to know he can talk to you about people, thoughts, and events that don’t have anything to do with you, because he needs your grounding and support. Your “being there” plays a huge role in helping him have the necessary tools and courage to safely enter adult life.

So what can you do to help your teen separate the right way?

Be a supporter of your kid’s extra-family world, as long as that world is one that is reasonably safe and supports your own values and beliefs.

Talk to your teen, ask questions, and make him feel like it’s okay to have interests outside of you.

Stay connected, even in differences. Don’t let conflicts and differences alienate you. He needs you in his world, even when he says he doesn’t.

Shame is a powerful deterrent to truly healing. If you feel like you are walking around with shame… I see you. Get some help. A spiritual mentor, therapist or a trusted friend. We all need people to listen, encourage, and remind us we are worthy of love. And show us the way to a healed life.

Play is the language of children. Play therapy allows the child to explore their thoughts and emotions in a language and form that they are familiar with, doing things that are appropriate for their developmental age. Many nuances take place in play therapy that help create a safe, exploratory space. It’s crucial in working with children under 12 who have been through trauma and grief.
