So Tired of Being Mad

The other day I was talking with a mom about her adopted child. She said "He just keeps choosing to be disrespectful at school."  

Oh man do I remember those days...the ones where I just kept get getting stuck in the belief that my daughter could do it better if she just chose to. There were so many disrespectful, self-centered, and purposefully defiant moments in our life - well that's what I thought anyway. 

Here's the thing...as long as I kept labeling those behaviors the same way over and over, nothing changed!

And just like the mom I was talking to - I was MAD most of the time. I finally decided I wanted more for my life. I wanted more for my child and I wanted more for my whole family.

I had a hunch on what might work so I decided to go for it. I began to do everything I could to meet each of my children right where they are at. WOW, what a difference!

The shift for all of us was huge. Becoming clear on who my whole child was and parenting from there changed everything.  

My child was more successful. I could let go of the mad stuff and actually our whole family was happier and more healthy. What a relief!

The good news is that when you learn to meet your child where he is at, you will get very clear on the fact that so much is NOT A CHOICE.  Your child is not choosing to be disrespectful or self-centered. He is hitting hurdles daily. The impacts of trauma are huge and invisible. It's not as it seems!

Look, you can do this too.

I totally believe in you. As a matter of fact, what I am VERY sure of is that YOU are your child's best chance of healing.  You using tools and strategies that work for your kiddos is the ticket!
