Just because we are the Parent now, this doesn’t mean we have it all figured out. Understanding our triggers, connections of feelings +actions+thoughts, working through past trauma, and learning more effective communication skills can have a real strong impact on us.

What is loss? Often it’s associated with something we had that was taken away, something tangible that is no longer ours. That is one type of loss. Another type that is more subtle is when we no longer have hope, no longer have the dream, didn’t get there. We were dreaming of it, working towards it, hoping for it, and it didn’t happen… this too is loss. Not getting something that you wished for can be really painful…. What does loss mean to you?

What happens when you don’t achieve what you’ve been working towards. Do you beat yourself up? Do you blame yourself? Do you think “I can’t do anything right?” What would happen if you thought instead: “ I’m upset about this, I wish it would have happened”. Or: “I’m so sad I didn’t get what I was looking forward to” or “I’m disappointed and I know that maybe this was out of my control”. Being kind to yourself is hard when we are feeling strong emotions, especially when it’s not our go to instinct. We can retrain ourselves and learn to give our own minds and bodies compassion, love and forgivenesses. It’s so important during challenging and stressful moments like these.

Unfortunately, these painful, raw, not-dealt-with emotions tend to come right back up when we are the most vulnerable and upset. Learning to handle, accept, and know our feelings is a big part of ‘dealing’ with them. What are your experiences with this?

The way we comment and praise our children is super important…. Giving love and showing we care is so essential for our kids. Showing our children that we are actually interested in what they are doing by asking how they did something a specific way, will help them develop their own answers to those comments/questions, rather than relying on ours.
