“A “clingy” baby is one who is secure in her own ability to receive love from her attachment figure. She needs you, it’s a matter of survival. She does not have much of a developed frontal lobe yet so she is all instinct. Tending to her need to be close to you will only further strengthen that bond and trust in you, and ultimately, in humanity.” J.

“Yes one must heal their own wounds in order to be all of themselves for their children. However, healing takes time. In fact it is an ongoing journey that really doesn’t have a definitive destination or a schedule it needs to follow. You can’t just decide over night ‘I’m healed!’ and release all the pain that you have endured throughout your life. But you can model healing, self-care, setting boundaries, emotional intelligence and self-compassion. We must meet ourselves where we are at, and build from there.” J.

Posted @withrepost • @thehealedmother The way we speak about our children creates our perspective, how we see and relate to them. When we elevate and become aware of our language, we elevate the relationship we have with them. Your words create your world, they go beyond your mouth, thoughts go beyond your head, text goes beyond paper and screen. Shift to life giving words and phrases, for yourself, for your kids 💓 #createyourmotherhood #consciousmotherhood #mama #thehealedmother #amethystjoy #healingmothers #healingparenting #thehealingmother #thehealingmom #healingthemother #consciousparenting #healingthemotherwound #reparenting #reparentyourself #reparentyourinnerchild #mother #elevatelanguage #healingchildhoodtrauma #childhoodtrauma #motherhoodisnotmartyrdom #authentichealing

“People sometimes worry that if we offer comfort when children are upset, we are saying 'I accept your behaviour.' What we are really saying is 'I accept your emotions and I am here to support you.” J. Milburn Exert from Responding to Meltdowns: 5 Steps to Emotional Intelligence and Peace for the Whole Family Link to article: https://wp.me/p9YDgq-8B #responsiveparenting #peacefulparenting #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #attachmenttheory #motherhood #parenthood #momblogger #mombloggers #earlychildhood #childdevelopment #parenting #childhood #momlife #mindfulparenting #meltdown #tantrums

Learning how to process difficult emotions, not suppress them, is the key to emotional intelligence “Our society tries to teach us to suppress and minimize difficult emotions, instead of teaching us how to process them. Many traditional parenting strategies are based on this theory. That is why it sometimes feels uncomfortable to validate emotions and sit in them with your child (and yourself). That is not the narrative we hear in western society. Change can feel uncomfortable but in this world of so much pain, it is time for some healing, and healing takes awareness and courage. Being aware of your emotions and having the courage to let them flow through you, knowing you will be alright at the end of the tunnel is how self-regulation becomes automatic and not something that takes great effort, at the cost of our overall emotional well-being.” J.

Why is asking for help so hard? Because our little childhood voices, that asked for help so many times, were often ignored, minimized and even punished, when the way we asked for help was not calm, respectful and polite. But whispering from the bottom of the well never saved anyone. The societal condemnation around a need for community is possibly why so many of us feel like we are imposing when we ask for support. Instead we use passive aggressive sighs and comments to try and get our needs met. If we want our children to be authentic and transparent in communicating their needs, we need to model doing the same.” J.

Our most basic needs are much easier met when we are cradled in a feeling of security from being connected to the people in our lives. #responsiveparenting #peacefulparenting #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #momblogger #childdevelopment #childhood #momlife #mindfulparenting #chooseempathy #attachmentparenting #attachmentparent

“Crying is a very healthy and typical part of developing emotional intelligence and self-regulation. We need to be able to process emotions, not just stifle them. When we try and stop children from crying, usually to appease our own discomfort, we rob them of this opportunity to fully experience their emotions and learn how to safely move through them. Crying is a child’s first and most instinctual form of communication. We should not try to silence their primitive urge to cry out for their needs to be met. If you don’t cry as a child for the things you need, you will likely cry as an adult about all things you never had.” J.

Leaving the Playground Peacefully: Empathizing Your Way to Easier Transitions and Conflict Free Exits When your child's personal agenda does not match your own, it can be challenging. This is a daily (sometimes hourly) challenge that we all have to face, regardless of parenting style. It becomes even more difficult to stay true to yourself, and not allow the perceived judgements of others to influence our actions, when these moments happen in public, and even worse when they happen in front of other parents (gasp!). Because although we are all facing similar challenges, in the moment when your child won’t leave the playground, you feel as though your child is the only one who does not listen to their parents.

“Don’t try and teach your children how to love themselves. Show them they are loved and they will intrinsically know they are worthy of self-love.” J.
