⚠️Does this sound familiar? You have been interacting with your little one all day. Gave attention and then, in that one moment, where you just wanted to talk for 10’ with a friend, someone over 3ft and share something exciting about YOUR life? And you child is just on your leg not “respecting” you at all and wanting all attention on them AGAIN? 🤍I know mama, this can be hard. I understand you need some time with someone else other than your child and your partner. You want to feel like “you” for like 5 minutes. And you should, no you actually need to. ✨I see you✨ 💡Here is an idea: Parenting starts with you and not your child. Feeling touched out is very normal. But our children are not responsible for our feelings. We are.🕊 Situations like this happen everyday. And here is thing, they are not aware that this is not the time to show you a bug on the ground, because their time is, “I found something exciting I got to show this to my best friend I am sure she will find it just as exciting as me!” 🔗Communication is key when it comes to respect and nothing is more terrifying being yelled at from@above for “no reason” (in our childrens mind). It literally takes two minutes to go on their level, where we can meet them, explain the situation and continue our conversation. -and yes this is also considerate setting a boundary, a gentle one. You deserve the time too mama! Do you feel disrespected when your child is interrupting a conversation? - T A G S - #reparenting #consciousparenting #mindfulmessmom #consciousparentingcoach #respectfulparenting #respectfulparent #responsiveparenting #gentleparenting #fyp #foryou #forypurpage #fypシ #foru #momtok #momtiktok #momtoks
