Parenting In The Thick Of It With Louise Clarke

I recently over-heard a mom tell her 2-year-old son that he was disgusting and it nearly broke my heart. If only she had had the awareness to tell him that what he did might have been disgusting but that he was not disgusting. We have to be able to separate our children from their behavior because at the end of the day, they are not their behavior. They are so much more than that. And, we all know that our voice soon becomes their own voice so can you imagine what thoughts this little guy will have about himself?Tune in… Follow Me Online Here: Website: https://yourparentingpartner.com/ Parenting In The Thick Of It Family Organizer: https://parentinginthethickofit.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/louiseclarke.ypp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourparentingpartner/ You Tube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqdQ1_fC72bKutwr5EfavQA FB Parent Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ParentingInTheThickOfIt/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/YPPartner Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ca/louiseclarkeyour

I came across this quick and easy technique a few years back and often use it at the start of my meditation practice as it really helps me tune in to my energy and go deeper within.

When we take our child or teen’s behaviour personally we go into reactive mode, and when we go into reactive mode, we deny ourselves the opportunity to stay present and find out what is really going on. Being able to not take their behavior personally is perhaps one of the biggest things we can do to parent well. How do you do it?

Do you ever find yourself saying things like “If you hadn’t taken so long getting ready, we wouldn’t be late!” and “If you had just done your homework when I told you, you wouldn’t be up at midnight!”. It’s easy to find ourselves blaming our children for all sorts of things but doing so can cause them to feel shame and shame is a dangerous place to find themselves. Blaming them for a mistake translates to shame that says they ARE a mistake.

Many of the ADHD books out there focus on helping parents manage the distractibility and lack of focus their child faces. They don’t give the us any pointers as to what we can do to cope with the fact that we can be driven to distraction by the distraction! It’s hard isn’t it. In this episode, I share with you what I do to try and cope with the frustration and impatience I feel in the face of my son’s (and my husband’s) distractability.

Are you prone to taking your child’s behavior as a reflection of you or taking what they say personally? I get it, it can be hard not to, but if you are prone to doing this, perhaps you need to become more bullet proof!

The human brain is wired to see negative things 5 x more frequently than positive things and some labels, like ADHD, are not overly positive are they? What this can do is cause us to focus on all the negative symptoms associated with ADHD. As such, it is vitally important that we learn to look beyond the label, any label whether it be ADHD, good boy, bad girl, smart boy, or sporty girl. Why is it so important? Tune in...
