I REMEMBER AS A KID, IF I DEMANDED ATTENTION IN ANY WAY THAT INCONVENIENCED MY GROWN-UPS, I WAS PUNISHED. My mother was very impatient with us. One little mishap and BOOM! Next thing I knew I'd be running to hide from her as she angrily chased us with the wooden spoon (or whatever object was nearest to her). But, if I'm being honest...it wasn't the punishments that stopped me from demanding her attention. Even her impatience was tolerable enough for me. I still wanted to be in relationship with her. I still wanted to feel connected to my family-of-origin. So, what eventually led me to pull away and distance myself physically and psychologically? The lack of repair and accountability. When we overreact by projecting our emotions onto our kids and then delude ourselves into thinking that our behavior doesn't really have an impact, here's what's really going on: We're trapped in our inner child wounded narrative that needs some exploration and healing. The idea that parents get a hall pass to cause harm (whether it's unintentional or not) is a traditional parenting concept that needs a serious upgrade. If we want our kids to take accountability for their actions, we must lead the way. The most effective (and realistic) way to make that happen is by learning how to repair and committing to balancing ruptures with repairs. 💬If you want to learn how to be CALM in all the chaos and show up in a much more attuned and supportive way, check the 🔗 in my b1o for my free guide: KEEP CALM AND PARENT ON! #raisingkids #parentingadvice #momstress #consciousparenting #stayathomemama #tiredparents #healinganxiety #parentsofinstagram #momlifeunfiltered #supportmoms #parentingteens #parentcoaching #momtruth #realmotherhood #parentwin #honestlymothering #reparenting #toddlerproblems #reallifemom #parentingstyle #raisingchildren #parenttips #joyfulmama #millennialparenting #raisingstronggirls #breakthecycle #toddlermommy #newmomtips #mommin #momoflittles
