This is such a grounded, honest, and holistic approach to parenting while healing. Show, don’t tell means modelling the behaviour, and self regulation we want the children to adopt.
Not a mother yet, but this is such an important subject that needs more stage, and light for parents and family raising a child.
I discovered the deeper meaning of this approach through my motherhood journey and after facing many challenges.
That’s why it feels even more fulfilling when my words reach people who aren’t parents but can still help shape their approach to children in general and potentially before they become parents. 💕
Your approach to honouring a child's unique pace and emotional landscape is inspiring. Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences—they offer valuable guidance for those of us striving to parent with mindfulness and compassion.💕
I do have a similar approach, although I find it quite challenging at times to balance that respect for their approach and knowing when to step in to push them a bit when needed. In particular when their approach is not really serving them... it's a bit of a tight rope walk I feel.

Thank you, Janki, for such a thoughtful comment.

I am happy to read that it landed for you, Melanie. 💕 Can I ask you if you have similar approach with your children? Or how different?
