If you find yourself reassuring your young child ‘you’ll be OKAY!’ over and over again⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
...but it feels like they just don’t believe you … and you’re getting tired of saying it…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking for a way to help them, this post is for you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yesterday I caught myself asking my 6 yr old question after question after school. He’s in FI and he’s anxious about it. He's also picked up on the pre-teen’s pessimistic attitude about school. arg ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I worry. And I try to help.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I KNOW better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Talk talk TALKING at him will not ease his worries, or make it all magically ‘okay’. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s so simple actually when you know the things to NOT do.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you really think about it⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> constantly telling kids they’re OKAY makes them wonder why you keep saying it…⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
>> pestering questions are annoying ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(‘Mom? MOM. MOOOOMMMM‘ Right?!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everyone sortof knows what we should do to help, but old habits, #amiright?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today I did better.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before school, I was able to reassure Max that he'd be FINE -- without saying a word.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Worked like a charm too - he left us this morning humming. ❤️️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to help your kids handle their day without even saying a word...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have a simple tool that I made a while back 😂 I just had to remember to use it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Now we're at the end of the Book Spotlight on I Ca

Now we're at the end of the Book Spotlight on I Can Handle It, tell me: if you could buy only one book from the Mindful Mantras series which would it be, and why would it be I Can Handle It?

Modelling the type of behviour you want to see in

Modelling the type of behviour you want to see in your kids is so stinkin POWERFUL!!!!
Compare it to those times you've opened your mouth and been *slightly* horrified because it was your mother talking. 😱
When it comes to your own kids, what you do you want to be saying when you're the voice in their head?
