39. 4 buckets to fill in Ourselves

In this episode I take the lessons we learned in episode 34 about how to engage our children differently so they are more ready, willing and able to collaborate with us, and I share how we as parents need to have these essential buckets filled as well.

I dive into the 4 buckets:
Power / Control
Connection / Attention
Regulation
Play

I share how we as parents can shift our mindset even if we cannot shift the structure of our days. I share how we can tune in and really show up for ourselves in a way that leads to more inner safety, less inner chaos and critique, which ultimately expands our tolerance. And when we have this expansion we can ultimately handle a lot more from our children.

When we attune to these 4 buckets regularly for ourselves we begin to embody this practice of responsive parenting.
