Did you know? Most of these posts are reflections of times I DID NOT act as I wanted to and these are pieces of my emotional growth through processing these moments. I don’t always tell the whole story behind all these little parenting lessons because I like to be conscious of my children’s privacy. I do, however, try to share the little tidbits of insight that come from the processing of challenging moments. J. Milburn Quite often when we are struggling to follow through with our plan, it is because our needs are not getting met in some way. When our needs aren’t met, it can be much harder to respond, instead of react, to an emotionally charged situation. I have a habit of kind of lecturing myself, inside my head; “don’t say that! Why didn’t you say it the way you wanted?” It has taken a lot of practice to stop myself when that internal dialogue starts and instead I begin the process of deconstructing that thought, instead of letting it spiral into self-loathing. “Why was I not able to follow through with my plan? Did I forget? Did I feel overwhelmed?” Usually I realize I was overwhelmed in some way and validating my feelings of overwhelm, forgiving myself, giving myself grace and making a plan to meet some of those unmet needs, has transformed my perception of these moments where reaction was my initial response. I discuss this in detail in the Guide to Survival Mode Plans, now only 5$’s The link is in my bio @responsive_parenting #responsiveparenting #jmilburn #healingjourney #innerchildwork #parentingyourself #reparenting #reparentingyourself #maternalmentalhealth #postpartummentalhealth #mensmentalhealth #cryingishealing #lifelessons #motherhood #parenthood #allthefeelsareok #momlife #parentlife #connection #parents #parentmentalhealth #childdevelopment #gentleparenting #empathy #loveyourself #parentingwithlove #selflove #attachment #connectionovercorrection #emotionalintelligence #parentingsupport https://www.instagram.com/p/CY6lYNsLLNV/?utm_medium=tumblr
