@elizabreaksthecycle: Reply to @mikahsmomma When I don't succeed in staying calm, the goal is to return to my "thinking brain" as quickly as I can and turn my attention to validating their feelings & making things right. Bonus if I succeed in not hating myself for the next 3 days. 🥺🫂❤️#CycleBreaker #IntergenerationalTrauma #StopHittingYourKids #ConnectionBeforeCorrection #ResponsiveParenting #AttachmentParenting #ConsciousParenting #RespectfulParenting #PeacefulParenting #GentleParenting
He’s going to remember you apologizing more than the incident itself 🥺🥺🥺 great job momma

And now he’s successfully gone to the victim making you forget that he just did a bad thing

Thank you for sharing. We’re not perfect but it’s up to us to reconnect with our children and apologize for our actions. ♥️

Why is mom sorry? He did something wrong it won’t happen again. We all deserve kindness but what was kind about him throwing that? Now everytime he thinks all I’ll be upset & she will be sorry cause I did something wrong and get away with it. He even tried to be how he should have & say sorry and you didn’t let him cut him off so you could be sorry. You didn’t whoop him what did you do wrong? I saw what he did and if you didn’t do anything played nice now him & the rest no they can do it all she is gonna do is “talk” to us.

he wasn't going to have a meltdown untill mom's guilt kicked in...I do not agree with this. parents are suppose to be firm and show right from wrong! her reaction was not going to ruin his life!

We’ve all been there. We’ve all felt absolutely helpless, broken and terribly for our behavior. You handled this beautifully. Love is all that matters in this life. You are doing great! God bless you and your precious family❤️

This is something I needed to see cuz the few times I do yell at my daughter when I see her start crying I feel so bad and apologize and giver hugs to make sure she knows I’m sorry and I love her. But the guilt eats me up inside. ❤️❤️

Where was the discipline though? He knew better than to throw a cup of water right ?

Serious question! How do we also teach them to not use their tears as exaggeration once they fully understand it changes our reaction ?

I literally get yelled at like that all the time . Even when I was young. He needs to learn not to be so sensitive

could you model the response you wish you would've had initially without yelling?

Thank you for sharing! It’s important to have an example like this. People are not perfect. Gentle parenting is not easy.

She starts apologizing because at that moment, her yelling at him was more harmful than him throwing the water.

this isn’t abuse this is accountability, you made a mistake and instead of doubling down u corrected it. thats what a good parent does 👍
