Research shows about 15% of the population have the ability to self reflect. Even fewer have the ability to solve conflict and emotionally regulate.

Don’t take people’s lack of emotional skills, personally. It’s rarely about us— even when it feels good to believe it is.

Freeing yourself from taking things personally allows you to set boundaries, not drown in shame, and to stop trying to fix what you didn’t break

For co-regulation, the key is, while you’re doing any of the activities listed, to breathe slowly and deeply, rhythmically. Gently calm your nervous system and then mind. Share your experience with your child as you’re having it and check in with them to see how they’re doing. Connect. 💖
