Posted @withregram • @earthway_parenting I wanted to share something I wrote about moving through our toddlers big feelings & being ok with not being a ‘perfect parent,’ because there’s no such thing especially in 2020 & the roller coaster we’ve all been on! “I certainly have my moments as a mum, & there have been times lately that I have yelled.. I am not proud of that person, but I am still only human. When we can acknowledge that we are having these moments, it allows us to step back & take the opportunity to reflect on what we can do better. When emotions have taken over & its difficult to maintain calm, when we have yelled & lost control of ourselves… ALWAYS make sure to hug it out & apologise. I will say sorry to our girls for my behaviour & I will take full responsibility for it. We ALWAYS hug it out. By demonstrating to your kids that you are also only human, that you can apologise for your behaviour that may have been inappropriate, you are TEACHING your children how to behave & how to have compassion for others as well as themselves. There are NO perfect parents. We are ALL just doing the best that we can with the knowledge that we have…” #responsiveparenting #earthwayparenting #parenting #realparents #lifewithkids #authenticity #authenticparenting #learninggrace https://www.instagram.com/p/CGCYSBhHsVE/?igshid=1lxmcbsnvw0gx
