Last week Kathleen started the topic- What do we believe about our kiddos? This week she continues the series. She picks up in the middle of the conversation - What is one thing said to you as a child that you have carried into adulthood? What are we teaching our kids by what we say to them or our actions? Kiddos who have experienced trauma already come with their own set of beliefs. Neglect says, “You don’t exist.” Abuse says, “You don’t matter.” How are we helping them reframe their beliefs? How are we reframing our beliefs about them? Grab a cup of coffee and join this recovering codependent Mom.

Think back to your childhood- What’s one thing you heard about yourself?What’s one thing that was said to you?What’s one implied belief, practice, or statement?Now think about right now-Which ones of those are you still living out?What about our kiddos? What are we telling them verbally or by our actions about them that will follow them into adulthood?What do we believe about them on a daily basis? Remember, we are mirrors for our children. They see themselves through our eyes. Grab a cup of coffee and join Kathleen, a recovering codependent Mom, as she introduces the topic - What do you believe about your kiddos?
