It can be tough to get through parenting moments when our children behave in ways that trigger us.
If your child’s big emotions feel overwhelming to you it’s most likely because growing up your own big emotions weren’t tolerated well by your parents.
Your nervous system becomes even more dysregulated by your child’s dysregulation.
Here’s what you can do…
Pause for a few seconds.
Take 3-5 slow but deep belly breaths.
This is your way of communicating to your brain and body that you’re okay. There is no threat and no reason for your body to go into fight or flight mode.
Then remind yourself that it’s okay for your child to feel whatever they’re feeling.
They’re allowed to feel angry, frustrated, disappointed, etc. and that experience can be separate from yours.
The quickest way to bring our children back down is to remain a safe and grounded person for them.
We do this by responding intentionally and not from our own emotions.
We validate what they’re feeling as a way to communicate, “I see you. I know this is hard for you right now and that’s okay. I’m here for you.”
We let them feel and process their emotions so they’re not stuffing them away to try and please us.
Over time they’ll learn that emotions are safe and that they will eventually pass.
They’ll also learn the skills needed to bring their bodies back to feeling a sense of safety again.
But in order to remain steady and anchored parents we must also learn the skills ourselves.
This is exactly what our students learn through our program. They not only build skills to keep themselves more grounded in their parenting but they also learn how to support other families through it as well.
