Let's go gently on this one okay!

We all can fall under pressure wanting to do the “right thing” as a parent. We are also so relieved when we find that other parents are having a simular experience to us. We tend to fall into mother choirs that meet our needs to belong and be seen.

The sleep aspect is one I see play out time and time again.
I’m writing lets be gentle, but I’m also going to frank about my experience of mother sleep choirs.

We have the sleep choir that proclaim sleep training is amazing and share results of perfect full night sleepers from a week after implementing. Not realising that this may increase the chances of their child learning repression mechanisms, resulting in teenagers withdrawing from them, taking drugs and unable to handle big life challenges. (I have done this personally with my first - so no judgement)

Then we have the sleep choir that says that it’s all hard, frequent night waking is normal and just a challenging part of life you need to surrender to and focus on your child knowing that you are there for them 100%. This also can lead to children that repress their feelings or don’t get listened to because we are being so attentive to their needs and trying to stop the big feelings. These children can take on their parents overwhelm of how challenging it is to be available 24/7 (I did this with my 2nd - again no judgement)

In both these realities are we just passing our collective trauma around uncomfortable feelings and stress?

When we listen to our babies /children they tend to express exactly what’s going on. What they need in that moment is someone to love and listen.
This world is stressful, busy and can be scary for young children.
When we learn to listen to their reality they naturally heal.

Then they naturally sleep.

We will be exploring more in my Understanding Tears & Tantrums Workshop starting 14th of Feb

Listening to big feelings is challenging!
For many of us we didn't have this experience in childhood. Emotions and big feelings were ignored, distracted or repressed. We tend to still unconsciously deal with our big feelings the same ways we learnt as a baby and child.

Exploring our childhood and how we handle our emotions is vital to support us in listening authentically to our babies & children.

In Understanding Tears & Tantrums with Angela we will explore how our own control patterns (how we suppress or deal with stress/ trauma) may be effecting our ability to support big feelings.

One of my biggest questions when parents start following Aware Parenting is about crying and the amount of crying.

Here are my two big points I share around crying.

We need to remember that the objective isn’t to have children that don’t cry.. rather that they cry when needed and heal.

Life is stressful and full of challenges. May we be okay with our natural and normal response to cry when stressed or healing from past trauma ♥️

If you are struggling please feel free to message me. We can explore options to make sure you’re getting the support you need.

Also contact PANDA 1300 726 306 for support if you are feeling overwhelmed 🍃

Please share if this video has helped further your understanding of listen to crying.
