How do I respond to big emotions in the moment?

For kids having a hard time regulating their bodies when big feelings arise. They don't need punishment or shame tactics

SKILL: Co-regulation

Co-regulation is the foundation for children to learn self-regulation

What is co-regulation?

Co-regulation is defined as warm and responsive interactions that provide the support, coaching, and modeling children need to “understand, express, and modulate their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors”

Children will mirror our language, behavior, and emotions.

When you want to help your child regulate their emotions, you will become their safe place to feel emotions with... which means working on your own emotional triggers, self-regulation, and parent-child

relationship.

Start by checking in with yourself.

Awakened Mother, mine, and Jess's baby. What is the Awakened Mother???? What is AN Awakened Mother?

Sometimes in motherhood, we lose a piece of our soul. Our ego, our human -- it takes us away from what our soul desires.

Waking up to what inspires us, who we are, and who we want to be -- it's the movement of AWAKENED MOTHER.

Jess and I talk about how while we are raising kids, all the time we will be triggered and show up in a way we aren't proud of. But piece by piece as we start the healing journey, inner child work, taking PAUSE we can awaken.

Cheryl Cardall is my instagram friend who aligns SO well on parenting values/philosophies. She's is a mom of 5 ages 12-23 and 5/5 have some sort of mental health challenge in varying severities! She's in the thick of it and using this parenting method for kids with hard behaviors in their teen years. This parenting isn't just for toddlers -- it's a lifestyle. And I'm so excited to talk with her all about it today.

Remember a few things, all behavior is communication. When our kids have difficult behaviors it's not our job to STOP THE BEHAVIOR. It's our job to try and figure out what's causing it, go beyond the behavior, support their needs, connect and help our kids through.
