As many of you know, there are forces in this world and in our country that thrive on creating division, fear, and chaos.
We are all feeling it and our children are feeling it as well.
This is not the same world as many of us grew up in and as a result, our children are facing more threats, stresses, worries and uncertainties than we ever did.
This is why many of us go into over protection mode, wanting to rescue our children from the same or new traumas that we experienced as children and that they now face in the increasingly divisive and disconnected world that they are growing up in.
While we cannot rescue or save our children from whatever they may face or experience in today's macro world, we can connect with our children and create safety within our own microcosms, homes, and within our relationships with our children.
The number one reason why children misbehave, as well as experience worry, fear, and anxiety is because they feel disconnected from us, from their hearts, and feel extremely unsafe in their bodies and in the world.
Studies and research show that in order to feel safe, regulated, and connected, children need to have a connected, emotionally regulated, and loving relationship with at least one of their primary caregivers.
Remember that we are raising the future generation of leaders, and change makers that the world needs to see.
No matter how busy we are, as we head into this Holiday Season, let connected and radical change begin with you and me and the ways in which we raise, parent, educate and care for our children.
Watch this Vlog to see 3 ways that you can create more connection, safety, and calm in your child's world starting today!
