What is your dream for your family? The more clearly we define our vision, the more we will align our energy toward our goal.
When we create a vision for our family, we clearly see the wins throughout the day and they give us deep joy and a boost to keep working hard knowing we are seeing our vision come true.
Our emotions are gifts that allow us to experience the fullness of life and connection! They are signals along the way drawing our attention to things that matter.
✨ Magic ✨ in a parent's tool belt. When our kids REALLY truly deeply believe we get them, peace fills their bodies and they are ready to learn and grow.
I am not alone and neither are you! We are all on a journey learning and will continue to be imperfect on this side of heaven.
We are all kids before God. We can do for ourselves just what we want for our kids.
Acknowledge *I did that and wish I didn't and I'm sorry.
Make up *Can I get you water? Make a sorry card? Take your dishes? Clean up the mess?
And then remain open for love and growth 💖. By speaking to ourselves kindly reminding ourselves that we are learning and of course we will make mistakes like everyone else and by sharing our failures with others who will say "me too" and I love you.
It is okay and good to detach from our children's problems. Detaching in parenting means deeply caring while allowing our kids to live their own beautiful and messy lives. When we detach, our kids get to feel their own feelings about their behavior instead of our feelings. Kids in touch with themselves--what feels good and bad are kids ready to learn and receive the daily lessons from life.
Our loving detachment is the first step in teaching self control.
