That’s the one who flares up when you’re running on empty —
when your kids won’t listen,
when you feel dismissed, disrespected, or unseen.
The one who still carries the echoes of not being enough,
of working for love,
of waiting to be chosen.
And without realising it, that’s the child who often shows up in your parenting —
frustrated, reactive, desperate to be heard.
So before you tend to your child… go within.
Find the one inside you who’s still hurting.
Not to blame — but to listen.
To witness.
To offer the love they didn’t receive.
Because when you tend to that child first, everything shifts.
You stop parenting from old wounds and start showing up with clarity.
You respond instead of react.
You guide instead of control.
You meet your child where they are — because you’re no longer stuck where you were.
Heal that one, and the rest becomes easier.
Maybe not perfect — but easier. ❤️
