The Holistic Psychologist 💜

“Doing better than the last generation” is a natural human desire. Many people strive to give their children what they didn’t receive. And almost always this is focused around money/the material.

If there’s one thing I hope to bring awareness around it’s that the greatest gift a child can ever receive is a parent who can emotionally regulate. A parent who can emotionally regulate is patient, open for connection, and maybe most impotently allows the child to fail (that’s where we learn the most.) They also have the humility to apologize and own it in the moments they’re flawed humans.

Our parent’s reactions and coping mechanisms are a reflection of their ability to regulate. And shape their child’s future beyond what’s currently known.

Countless adults are stuck. Like myself, they didn’t get the opportunity to witness parents who could emotionally regulate. So instead they: avoid, numb, push people away, and live in spirals of self doubt. They settle and remove themselves from new opportunities because they don’t trust themselves to be able to cope with whatever comes their way.

Children who are modeled emotional regulation become resilient adults. They can handle disappointment. They can rebound from rejection. They can set clear boundaries. They have a healthy understanding of what behaviors are unacceptable in relationships— and they remove themselves from those situations.

It quite literally will change the path they take in life.

We will change our world when our goal becomes giving children the emotional tools, not just the material
