The tips you need to know to create a family holiday that feels like connection and joy, and leaves you feeling replenished. Instead of assuming you’ll have a great time, because it looks the Instagram picture, but it feels like resentment and overwhelm.
In this episode we discuss:
- Becoming attached to the experience your child has
- The expectation on everyone to have a good time because you’ve spent money
- Measuring yourself against others’ experiences and ending up in shame and guilt
- Using comparison to fuel us, but recognising when it’s collapsing us
- Creating a ‘heads up’ to guide your family and balance their nervous systems
- Giving details that help our kids feel safe
- Setting our kids up to adjust and flow with change
- Getting your kids on board, rather than fighting you
- Creating more ease as a parent
- When you hide the challenge, you intensify the problem
- Co-regulation tools to use with your child
- Clearly defining parent roles and expectations
- Recognising the needs and meeting them
- Resisting labelling and judging our kids, which leads to more irritation
- Asking ourselves ‘How could this look different?’
- Allowing your child’s experience (even and especially when) it’s the opposite of yours.
- Remembering the more powerful teacher is letting your kids have their own experience
- Holding the vision and trusting the process
