Ep #53 Three Vital Parenting Decisions Pt 3
Happy Wednesday! Today, we conclude the 3 Vital Parenting Decisions Series. If you haven’t listened to the episodes from Monday and Tuesday, check those out first because they lay the groundwork for today’s discussion.
Today's Focus: Practicing extreme self-compassion. It’s essential. My coach emphasized the importance of being gentle and loving towards myself, even when I felt I had failed. This approach transformed my ability to connect deeply with my children.
Self-compassion prevents us from slipping into survival mode, which can lead to negative reactions and disconnection. By practicing self-compassion, we foster a peaceful, connected family environment.
Key Points from the Workshop:
- Day 1: Stop energizing off-track behavior with punishments and rewards.
- Day 2: Proactively connect with your kids to create lasting bonds.
- Day 3: Practice extreme self-compassion to support personal growth and deeper connections.
Practical Steps:
- Redefine mistakes as growth opportunities.
- Welcome all emotions as part of the human experience.
- Practice the "SOS" method:
- Stop: Be present and aware of your thoughts and feelings.
- Open: Approach your thoughts with curiosity and compassion.
- Stay: Stay with your emotions long enough to process them.
