Excerpt from: “I Hate You!”: Responding to Hurtful Words By J. Milburn Watching your child act in a way that is unkind and hurtful, is not only painful, but can be scary. The spiral of worry and parent guilt starts spinning around in our heads; what did I do? How could my child be so mad at me? Where did they learn to talk to me like that? Have I failed them? Will they speak to their teacher like that? They'll have no friends and end up in jail with an attitude like this. They need to know that this is just simply unacceptable, no matter how mad you are. This train of thought is very logical and justified. It's also the prevalent narrative in our society; that above all, we must teach our children to be respectful to others. Treating people with kindness, when you are feeling salty, is very hard for even adults to do. Empathy, trust and attachment is all you need to teach a child safe and healthy coping skills. Empathize with your child, trust in your child that they have the capacity to learn the value of kindness and utilize your attachment relationship with your child to offer support, in these often challenging moments.

“Nurturing, not neglect or abuse, produces confident, pro social adults. Some children start displaying these features early. Others, it can take decades until the benefits of responsive parenting can be seen.” - J.

Responding, Instead of Reacting "The tendency to react, instead of respond, to emotionally charged situations, is not just a parenting challenge, it is a human challenge. We were made to react to threats. We perceive threats through our senses. Therefore, if we sense any emotion that we perceive as threatening, we tend to react, instead of respond." J. Milburn Excerpt from:https://responsiveparentingblog.com/2019/06/05/responding-instead-of-reacting/ #responsiveparenting #peacefulparenting #gentleparenting #attachmentparenting #attachment #attachmenttheory #motherhood #parenthood #momblogger #mombloggers #earlychildhoodeducation #earlychildhoodeducator #earlychildhood #childdevelopment #childdevelopmentspecialist #parenting #parent #childhood #momlife #mindfulparenting #meltdowns #empathyispower #reflectivepractice

Love like the sun, not like a rainbow “Unconditional love is like the sun; dependable, constant, warm, radiant light. Conditional love is like a rainbow; a surprise, a rarity, something that happens after a storm but not always. You have to be in just the right spot, at just the right time, looking in just the right direction. No, I want my love to be like the sun; everywhere my children look, I want them to see me shining down on them, lighting their way. And when they close their eyes, I want them to feel the warmth of my love surrounding them. Rainbows are beautiful, but only the sun has the power to nurture and grow. Even the plants know, they need the consistent care only the sun can provide, not the fleeting beauty of the rainbow.” J.

Crying in the Closet: Hiding Painful Emotions from your Children “Seeing someone we care about, and look up to, being vulnerable, only deepens our connection with that person, as intuitively, we all know it takes far more strength and resilience to be vulnerable, than it does to be emotionally unavailable and guarded."

Guilt vs. Remorse “Feelings of remorse seem to come from a place of empathy. Whereas guilt seems to come from a place of fear and is more closely linked to shame. Genuine remorse cannot be faked or imposed by someone else, while guilt is often imposed by others and used to motivate people into compliance. Remorse is an internal process.” J.
