Reader Even in our anger, what are we communicating? How can we speak our minds without diluting our message with anger? What if we're triggered by our partner, who's triggered by the kids? If you're surrounded by old-school parenting, you might feel unsupported. Or you feel like all your hard work is being undone by others in your child's life. When it feels like we have no control (feeling helpless is awful), we can start dictating orders or giving in out of frustration. We miss the teachable moment, trying to push kids into "controlling themselves" so we can feel in control. (Can you see how that might backfire?) I won't tell you NOT to get angry (that's not helpful either). It's OK to need new practices to cultivate peace. We're NOT born with strategies. ▶️ Here's how I tamed my temper after a toxic childhood. It's so easy to let stress and family or societal expectations cloud our thinking and fool us into believing our kids must be the problem. Our feelings are valid. The goal is NOT to get rid of the feelings. And if you're thinking, "Well, my other children don't have these issues, it's ONLY this one child, so it can't be me." Then definitely watch this quick video. And, of course, (say it again for the people in the back) it's about being conscious - not perfect! Have a beautiful weekend! p.s. Final weekend!
