“I started listening to this yesterday, after I just felt like there was nothing enough I can do. I never thought I’d be a parent that would yell and immediately “shut my kids feelings off”. I’m so embarrassed where I am right now. My son has always had big strong feelings and I’ve usually been able to help him through them until recently, I’m pregnant with #3 and my hormones are out of control and my patience is thin. It’s showing in my kids. So I decided I need to do better, be better and learn. I worked with special needs kids for 4 years and learned so much, and I was always extremely patient with them. It’s crazy how different it is when it’s your kid-you think they should know better. I forget that I grew up in a house where yelling and telling me no constantly without conversation was normal. I hated it and never wanted to do that to my kids.
I implemented just listening to my son as he started to have a meltdown this morning and WOAH, he worked through it completely on his own. I just listened. Thank you and I can’t wait for more episodes!”
