22.01.2022 I don't know about you, but this has been a tough parenting season for us. The fear is real, the hard conversations are in full swing, and it seems like the sma...llest things require significant cost/benefit analyses. I thought it might be a good time to dig back into The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting research. It's been helping us (huge thanks to all of the research participants). This first learning is a reminder of the core finding from this research: Some of the best strategies rely on modeling the behaviors we want to see. Turns out that we need to be the adult that we want our kids to grow up to be. Dammit. There is immeasurable power in our children watching us practice self-kindness vs. berating ourselves or putting ourselves down when we stumble, fail, or make mistakes. And, no matter how we encourage them to talk to themselves, they are definitely watching to see what really matters. And, letting them in on our process is equally as powerful: "I really dropped the ball today and I'm struggling to be kind to myself about it and talk to myself the way I'd talk to someone I love." Modeling, normalizing that it isn't easy, and connecting. Y'all have a great weekend! Awkward, brave and kind, folks.

15.01.2022 Mantras to think about when you're having a hard time with your teen: My teen isn't giving me a hard time, they're having a hard time. I may not be able to ...control their moods or reaction, but I can always control mine. Growing up is hard. My kid's body and brain are under massive construction. Behind the eye rolls, sighs and closed bedroom door is a child who needs me. It won't be this hard forever. Image credit: Raising Teens Today

14.01.2022 What a lovely duo! These brothers fom Milgate Primary School in Doncaster have used their time in lockdown well. Austin, 8, and Lucas, 12, have rewritten the ...lyrics to John Lennon's famous tune 'Imagine' to reflect their time living through the COVID-19 pandemic. The boys recorded the song and wanted to share it to spread a bit of much needed cheer in their home town. We'd love to hear some other takes on this song. Record yourself and send them to us below! Thanks to Austin and Lucas' performing arts teacher Lucy Lennox for sending the video in.

12.01.2022 We often talk about perspectives and how we see life as either positive or negative. We ask are you a glass half full or half empty kind of person?, as if li...fe itself is static. Snapshots of time etched in our memories like stone monuments cemented into the ground. But every single moment is a constant creation; made up of our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Just as our perspectives can change in an instant, so can our experiences. We can choose to change the story in any given moment to exactly what we need. Why worry if the glass is half full or half empty when you can just refill it to the top!

12.01.2022 Beautiful girl, when you are finished falling, after you hit rock bottom and watch yourself come apart into a million pieces, no one is staying to help you coll...ect yourself, no one is sticking around to pick through your pieces to decide which parts of you are worth keeping. That’s for you to decide. So stay down for as long as you need to. This is the most important part. Take your time. Pay attention. You already broke. So the easy part is over. Go slow.... I know, you thought the breaking was the most painful chapter. It wasn’t. Turn the page. The next part is much longer. It’s the healing. The rise. The comeback. It’s the birth of the new you. And it’s not easy. But you are strong and brave and worth it. You’ll have to leave a lot of yourself behind, you’ll have to let go of all the parts of you that you’ve outgrown. We’re not making ourselves small anymore. We’re not bending to fit where we don’t belong anymore. Do you hear me? We’re going all in. Count your wounds, every scar ripped open, every drop of blood you bled like a promise, every tear you cried like a bet in the name of crossing your whole heart, your whole soul, was all for this moment. Right here. Right now. You had to hurt like that to get here to this version of you who knows exactly who she is, who she’s not, who she will never be again. Drop the apologies, babe. We’re not sorry anymore for who we are, we’re not sorry for what we had to do to get here, and we’re not sorry for the time it took to learn our worth. Step out of the box of all you were supposed to be, according to everyone who wasn’t you, and walk into the you, who’s comfortable in her own skin. It’s time. You earned it. We no longer wear the expectations of anyone else and we no longer let anyone else decide what we’re worth. Because we know now. We finally know. And now it’s time to celebrate it. Get up, babe. It does not hurt anymore. Now go show YOU what you’re made of.~ ~Stephanie Bennett-Henry

12.01.2022 Trauma has many faces...

10.01.2022 I feel like this is probably one of the most important memes I've shared. As a sensory avoider, I have said "no" a lot in my life... I wish I could say people r...espected my "no" more often than they actually did when I was a child. Children need to feel respected when they say no. Just because adults are technically "in charge," doesn't mean they get to decide what type of physical touch a child experiences... even if it's coming from a loving place. #sensorystories #specialneedsparenting #specialneedsmom #positiveparenting #sensoryprocessingdisorderparentsupport #momssupportingmoms #parentingmeme #parentingtip #parentingtips #mymomlife #sensoryforlife #mysensorylife #sensorylife #sensoryavoider #sensoryavoiders #sensoryseeker #sensoryseekers #specialneedskids #specialneedsparenting #specialneeds #spd #sensoryprocessingdisorder #spdawareness #sensoryprocessingdisorderawareness #autismacceptance #autismawareness #autismsupport

07.01.2022 Parenting is hard. Teaching is hard. And things are especially hard when we hear a "no!!!" From our kids. Why does that happen? Kids are going to say "no" ...for lots of reasons: they're not ready, they're tired, they're overstimulated, they're upset, they're just being kids, etc. How we react in those moments can not only protect our relationships, but it can also teach vital skills. Try adding some of these phrases

07.01.2022 'When you shut down emotion, you're also affecting your immune system, your nervous system. So the repression of emotion, which is a survival strategy, then bec...omes a source of physiological illness later on. ' -Gabor Mate However, it’s not just your long-term health that can suffer if you suppress your negative emotions. There have been numerous studies showing that when we ignore our emotions, we can experience short-term mental and physical reactions as well. Suppressing your emotions can lead to physical stress on your body. What emotion is being suppressed does not matter, the effect is the same. When it comes to regulating difficult emotions, there are two ways most people respond: they act out or they suppress. If you act out with a strong emotion like anger, you will most likely create undesirable consequences in your relationships, your work, and even your play. The ripple effects of acting out usually provoke more anger around you, which leads to more difficulty. The consequences of suppressing those big emotions can be even more dangerous. What many people aren’t aware of is that there’s another way to regulate our emotions: Feel the feeling in real time. On one level, emotions are like energy waves, varying in shape and intensity, just like ocean waves. Their nature is to arise and pass away pretty quickly, like all natural phenomena. Ironically, efforts to talk yourself out of your emotions often results in increased rumination and perseveration. In other words, you will keep thinking about and holding onto those emotions you’re trying to avoid. Research into emotional regulation suggests that mindfulness-based interventions can be helpful. Particularly focus on feeling the emotion and practicing forgiveness, compassion, and kindness at the same time. - Mily Gomez . . and CAPTION ABOVE by @latibulecounseling
