Over the last few weeks, I have found myself sitting with more children who are struggling emotionally, mentally and energetically.
To be honest, it has been deeply confronting. My up bringing and of course our lifestyle was very different, and easier.
Something is happening with our children. I have my thoughts, however, I will shush for now.
Many are arriving overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, emotionally exhausted or simply unable to process the intensity of the world around them. Some cannot explain what they are feeling, but their nervous systems are speaking loudly through their emotions, behaviors, sleep patterns, focus and energy.
As adults, we must begin asking ourselves gently, what are we creating around our children? What are they carrying that perhaps was never theirs to hold?
The statistics are now reflecting what many healers, therapists, teachers and parents are already witnessing daily. Anxiety, emotional dysregulation, depression and nervous system overwhelm in children and teenagers are now at levels I have never seen before.
But from a Sarvaga Light perspective, this is not about fear, it is about awareness, it is about returning to connection.
Our children are sensitive beings, many are deeply empathic, sensitive, many are energetically open. Many are trying to navigate a world that moves far faster than the human nervous system was ever designed for.
Constant stimulation, screens, pressure, comparison, noise, emotional disconnection, busy households, unprocessed stress.
Children absorb far more than we realise, sometimes what we label as bad behaviour is a child crying out for safety, grounding, presence and emotional connection.
Not every child requires fixing, many simply need slowing down, listening, holding, understanding. As parents and caregivers, the greatest gift we can offer our children is not perfection. It is presence, a regulated nervous system, a calm voice, a safe home, a moment of stillness, a feeling of being truly seen.
Sometimes healing begins in the smallest ways:
Try these techniques with your troops.
Sitting outside together
Reducing overwhelm and stimulation
Creating healthy sleep routines
Encouraging emotional expression without judgement
More hugs, more listening, less rushing
More connection, less distraction
Allowing children to feel safe enough to simply be themselves.
Our children are not weak, they are responding naturally to an unnatural level of emotional, mental and energetic overload.
Perhaps this generation is here to teach us something important,
To slow down, to reconnect, to feel again, to return to what truly matters. Love
I am here to listen
Only Love
