“I can see how much you love your kids,” the doctor said today as I was there with two crying, snotty, and sick children. 🤧

Ugh. I needed that. Parenting is hard sometimes.
You don’t always feel like you are the fun or exciting parent. And sometimes it feels like you aren’t doing big things to show your kids you love them.

It’s helpful to be reminded that ✨ the little things matter ✨.

When I was working with kids, I’d always ask their parents, “What’s one way your child knows that you love them?”

They’d answer things like:
🛏️ The way I rub their back at bedtime.
🍝 I make them their favourite meal.
🤝 I give them three hand squeezes before they go on the school bus.

💕 I thought we should all take a pause today and share one way we’ve shown our kids that we love them.

Remember, the simple things are the big things.

Share your “one way you’ve shown love today” below!

Tag a fellow parent who has ✨chaotic✨ dinner times below! ⬇️

We asked parents where they struggled most with setting boundaries, and one of the top areas was dinner time!

Kids were leaving the table, throwing food, refusing to eat, having tantrums, and fighting with their siblings.

What parents wanted to be a nice family time often felt rushed and chaotic.

This makes sense!

Dinner time can be difficult because of 3 things:
➡️ Parents are holding unrealistic expectations for their kids
➡️ Kids are hungry or tired (or both!)
➡️ Kids are seeking connection from their parents (especially after being apart all day!)

It's no wonder parents are having a hard time... dinner time is tough! But it doesn't have to be like this - boundaries are the key to more calm and connected dinner times. 💛

Boundaries can help you to:
✨ Establish realistic boundaries at dinner time
✨ Respond to hungry and tired kids in a way that feels good
✨ Connect with your child's feelings and teach them new ways to behave at dinner time

It's important to reflect on your values before you eveeeer sit down at the dinner table, so both you and your kids know the boundaries!

What is one family boundary you have around dinner time? Share below!! ⬇️

I lost my cool with my kids. My toddler had spilled sunflower seeds all over my freshly cleaned floor as she and her older sister yelled and ran around the house.

It was loud and messy, and I was overstimulated.

I wished I could take back my yell as soon as it came out. I could see the girls look at me with tears in their eyes.

I take a breath and remember: Just because I started this with yelling doesn’t mean it has to end here.

The best thing I can do is repair.

I take a deep breath and say: “I’m sorry, girls, this isn’t how I want to talk to you. It’s not ok for me to yell.”

How you repair with your child teaches them that when you hurt someone you care deeply for, you take the time to apologize and work to do things differently next time.

💫 The key: You are responsible for your emotions. 💫

A child doesn't make us yell - we yell because of our own internal reasons. In this situation, I’m yelling because I’m overstimulated.

Our kids need to know that they aren't responsible for our emotions. AND once I’m calm it’s ok for me to set boundaries around the yelling and the sunflower seeds on the floor.

What is one truth you want your child to know after you lose your cool? Share below! 💛
