The Therapist Parent 💕

I spend most of my time as a Psychologist teaching kids about feelings. It never stops amazing me how a lot of adults struggle at doing this. Feelings are there for a reason, we need to recognise them so we can manage them

When kids are little, sticking to Happy, Sad, Angry, Scared and Worried are fine. They are the building blocks for understanding emotions. However, as children get older we need to expand their emotional vocabulary. For example, there is a difference between feeling angry and disappointed or confused and frustrated. The way would would manage anger and disappointment are probably going to be different to.

The other day, I blurted out something in a TONE I recognized all too well. “Ohh, that’s where she gets it from,” I said - a bit surprised (but not really).

Yes, the snarky comeback I usually notice in my daughter was coming from me. 😬

👋🏻 Hi, it’s me. I’m the problem. It’s me.

It's not enough to say we want kids who are regulated and able to manage themselves.

👉 We have to be the model we want them to emulate.

But remember, . We all had a good laugh, and I got to take responsibility for my actions.
