Ask yourself, “What emotion am I feeling?” Sometimes the feeling just wants to be seen.
Christine Dixon, MindBody Coach at the Ordinary Sacred
Christine Dixon’s advice for homeschool parents:
- When your child has a lot of emotions, get curious about what their need is underneath.
- Turn self-compassion toward yourself first, before you address your child’s intense emotions.
- Befriend the internal protectors of your emotions and learn from how they enable coping but disable thriving.
- Drop into curiosity when you see your child getting intense in their emotions.
- Give yourself grace: do a little bit of this emotional regulation/internal work at a time.
- Practice seeing your emotions in a moment each day when you’re not in the triggered moments.
When we become our own primary caregiver, we set other people free. We begin to take care of ourselves in a responsible way so we’re not so needy and depenedent on other people.
