A moment from a few hours ago. This was one of my lowest moments as a parent for me. I had never reacted this way before and was honestly shocked that I had reacted in such a way. However my page is full of moments where I’m able to regulate before I snap and full of me co regulating with my children and I don’t ever want anyone to think I don’t snap. I do. Often. We all do. What’s more important to focus on is repairing the connection after these moments 🤍 After we played tag outside, my 1 year old accidentally hit me in the throat and it hurt. My son saw it happen across the netball court and ran over and gave me a hug, “Oh Mum, are you alright?” I said I would be ok. He said “would you like a kiss?” I said “oh that’s very kind thank you.” I was able to then apologise and empathise with how he was feeling when I yelled and said what I would do better next time. He looked at me and apologised to. He then called his little sister over by us and said “I’m sorry for punching you Lyra” and gave her a kiss on the cheek and gave her a hug. He then hugged me again and held out his arm for Lyra and we had a group hug 🤍
