Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there. whether you have a good relationship with your mother or one that’s complicated or not good I hope that this day is a positive one for you. You can celebrate your mother or you can just celebrate your own birth and your mother‘s role in that. One thing I would encourage you is that if you do have a difficult relationship and you find it hard to find some good in your mother; then you may even just appreciate that as a woman she did care you for nine months and went through physical intense labor to have you. And that in itself is a big feat to have. everything else might’ve been a struggle or difficult or you may even have feelings of ‘I hate my mom’ and at the same time she did carry you and bring you into this world so you can recognize that and thank God for your being here and for your ability to be present in this world. happy Mother’s Day.

A third negative aspect of shame is that the child will not feel seen and will also not feel safe enough to share their true internal experience with their parents. They will learn overtime that my parent is not safe to show what I really feel so for example if the child shows fear of something, and the parent is dismissive or shaming of, oh, you shouldn't be afraid of that or are you able to see or whatever you want to say and then the child will say well I cannot share my anxiety my fears with my parent, so they will learn to hide these feelings and when a parent really needs to help their child and support them, they will be unable to provide.

Another negative aspect of using shame and discipline is that the child may outwardly do what we want them to do however, inside they are flooded with fear and they are not in a safe autonomic nervous system. They are not feeling internally safe.

When children make mistakes, we want to focus on helping them learn what is the corrective behavior not putting them down for who they are they're still learning so our focus should be what could you have done differently? How do you think it makes the other person feel when you do ANY behavior.

When children see something going wrong in their environment, they tend to blame themselves because their parents are supposed to be their protectors. They do not have the capacity or it would be too devastating for them to realize that it is their parents that are doing harm to them, and it is their parents that they are wrong and so they will constantly blame themselves and then grow up to people that have challenges.

I’m always looking for examples of dialectics in our world. The play between predestination and our choice is one that’s constantly on my mind. Both are true and it’s hard to grapple with at times. What do you think about this idea?
