Reminder that what you are navigating in your parenting journey is not the same as anyone else.
Do the best you can, seek all the support available to you, and be compassionate with yourself in the process.
What you need and what your particular kids need is your focus. Not the haters. Not the parents on pedestals who seem to do nothing wrong, just you and your brood doing the best you can to get thru the obstacles on your course.
Sending love to all of you as you navigate some gnarly stuff and still somehow keep focused on loving those incredible littles of yours.
The video shares a parenting tip inspired by dogs and encourages viewers to create a culture of connection with their family in the new year.
Learn how to set compassionate limits with your child in a way that benefits their brain development and reduces reactive responses to emotions, with the timing varying depending on factors such as age, hunger, and consistency.
In this video, learn why it's important to focus on soothing and supporting kids' emotions before trying to teach them, as strong emotions take energy away from the brain's thinking and processing areas, and how you can use co-regulation and language to help them grow once they've calmed down. Remember to "Connect before you correct," as Dr. Karyn Purvis said.
