Guys!!! What am I always saying?! FOCUS ON YOU BEFORE YOUR KIDS! There’s literal studies on mothers healing their children by healing themselves. It’s important! ❤️
This is a great read!
Not only does your child feel your energy, they will also mirror your energy.
We can’t be responsible for how our children behave in every situation but we can recognize that our children feel our energy deeply, so deeply that they will mirror it back to us.
The question is, do we own what they mirror back?
Are we aware of what is being mirrored back?
I often speak about a parent’s emotional energy as the weather that dominates the home and frankly, it dominates whoever we are around.
If our emotional energy is grumpy or mad, we can’t be surprised if our child is grumpy and mad. Our energy is quickly reflected in our child’s behavior and what you might find surprising is that they cannot help but absorb our energy and then send it back out.
So even when we try to force ourselves to act in a way that is inauthentic, believe me when I say that our emotional energy is what our children feel.
What we can do is become aware of this energy and the messages that it’s giving our children (as well as everyone else around us) and one way we can do this is to notice what our children are reflecting back to us. What do you see in what’s being mirrored back to you?
If we make an angry face when we’re frustrated or annoyed with our child, we can’t be surprised by their angry face or frustrated expressions when they are annoyed.
If we yell when we are annoyed or overwhelmed, we can’t be surprised when our child yell for similar reasons.
If we are rough with our children, we can’t be surprised by their aggressive behavior.
We truly are the example for our children and our energy shows up in all our interactions.
We all want children who are emotionally healthy but here lies the challenge - an emotionally healthy child needs a parent who is emotionally healthy because our children cannot learn from us if we don’t have ii to give. Continued in Comments 👇🏾
