I love this so much. Be a good person. A real, flawed, happy, sad, apologetic, generous, empathic, kind and caring person to the people around you. Be authentic and present as much as you can be and humble enough to learn from your mistakes. The rest, I promise, will sort itself out.

This is brilliant advice for parents, caregivers, and ECE professionals—anyone who cares for children. Thank you to Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life!

Also, thanks to Richard Cohen’s “Zen and the Art of Early Childhood" for posting!

Do we offer these things as rewards or withhold them as punishment?

Anything we use to manipulate and control our children’s behavior is ultimately that — manipulation and control.

Let’s aim to meet our children’s physical and emotional needs rather than making them conditional and contingent on their good behavior.

There is so much more to behaviour than most people think. Children don’t try to upset us, there is usually something behind it. They are communicating their need through behaviour. If we look behind the behaviour we can see a child who is doing the best they can

Guilty. 😓
Let’s check our hypocrisy and question the unrealistic expectations we have of children.
What are some other ways we hold children to standards that we don’t even hold ourselves to?
This is not to shame us as parents but to invite us to see our children with new and more compassionate eyes. 💗

Posted • Our expectations of children can be so high when, quite often, they are mirroring what we do. We may not see what they are doing as important, but it is to them. That doesn’t mean that they shouldn't do what we ask, but it doesn't mean that we need to take into consideration what they are doing. We can't expect them to drop everything and respond straight away. Give them warnings for when they need to do something else. Or give them options for when they can do what you are asking. This really is just treating them with the respect we all want.

What separates stable, emotionally intelligent couples from others is not that their repair attempts are necessarily more skillful or better thought out, but that their repair attempts get through to their partner. Because repair attempts can be difficult to hear if your relationship is engulfed in negativity, the best strategy is to make your attempts more formal and deliberate in order to emphasize them.

Keep in mind as well - it takes two. Purposeful and intentional efforts from one partner can make a big change in a relationship, and both partners have to want to grow together for long-lasting change to stick.
