Why do we lose patience with kids? Well I read this article shared by a friend and found it to be really useful. It really helped me gain perspective on why things go spiraling out of our control when it comes to patience with kids. Read the full article here - https://inspired-motherhood.com/losing-patience/
Meanwhile, I am working on responding (rather than reacting) and did a good job of it when my elder son came home with the rear guard of his bicycle broken. I could see he was already feeling bad and didn't need me to add to his misery. So yes, that was a good job done !
How do you view your losing patience with kids? Do you too feel that you just couldn't help but lose control? Tell me all about it.
So today I was at 70 percentile of my loud noise-o-meter. Well, for a mother who is trying to tackle with a screen addict 5 year old I was very very patient with him. But more than that, what's more significant is that, I haven't gone on a guilt trip for that 70 percentile loud voice. I do think though that I could have managed with a 50 percentiler if I had been a little more patient. I really do need some strategies to pull the boy out of his screen addiction. I need help... my boy needs help. Please do drop in with your suggestions on how to wean kids off screen.
P.S. - I work 5 hours a day, live in a busy joint family and have an 8 year old, who takes up some bandwidth for he needs help with studies.
Ok, now that I have begun this journey. I realized that it is going to e really really loooong. Challenges have already begun to present themselves and I am reeling with the impact of reality bytes. Today listen about how my attempt to validate my course of action fell flat ;)
Ok, facing my biggest fear by sharing it with you all here I am embarking on a journey to transform myself as a mother. 'Gentle Parenting' includes a huge gamut of parenting techniques, but I am starting with a commitment to keep my voice low with my kids. Stay tuned for daily updates !
