This is such a good and necessary post. Thank you for the reminder to breathe. I love what you said: This is hard, and I need a pause. Just like people send children to time out, we as adults need time outs sometimes as well. Those pauses are a chance to regroup and recalibrate. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely! Giving ourselves permission to pause is wisdom. I often find clarity, calm, and strength to keep going in those adult time-outs. Thank you for reflecting it so beautifully. 💛✨
Oh I really love this. Your whole substack clicks with me. Parenting is such a huge, monumentally huge job and reading this brings clarity to approaching kids and making sure they have the tools necessary — for when we are regulated they can be too! 💙
Monumentally huge is the perfect way to describe parenting. I usually say that parenting is both a responsibility and a privilege we should embrace wholeheartedly. Hence, we must look out for ourselves as much as possible because the ripple effect is so powerful. I’m really glad you’re here. 💛
