Conscious Communication and Parental Connection May Look Something Like This.
Conscious Communication may look something like this:
๐ธBe present!
๐ธBe present!
Put down your phone or whatever you're doing so you can focus.
๐ธBreathe slowly. Remain grounded and centred.
๐ธListen. Truly listen. Be interested. Seek clarification. Ask questions if appropriate.
๐ธLook for an unmet need, unheard feeling, or limiting belief beneath the behaviour. (behind your child's and your trigger)
๐ธSincerely care. Empathize and Validate. With yourself internally and your child externally.
๐ธIf you feel calm communicate your feeling, need, or request clearly without using threats, shame, blame, or criticism.
๐ธIf you don't feel calm, ask to have some time to think.

๐ธConnect to yourself. It’s good to feel all your emotions & validate them for yourself.
๐ธ When reconnected to yourself go and help your child do the same.
๐ธReconnect with your child. Find time to be and share together. (Play, read, walk, create a meal or artwork together....anything you will both enjoy)
✨Most of the time connection replaces the need for correction.✨
๐ธ When your child and you are both regulated you can problem-solve together.
(This may mean you change your mind now that you have a better understanding but it doesn't mean going against your core values or intuition. Hold your boundary empathetically.)
