Happy Wednesday! Today, we conclude the 3 Vital Parenting Decisions Series. If you haven’t listened to the episodes from Monday and Tuesday, check those out first because they lay the groundwork for today’s discussion.

Today's Focus: Practicing extreme self-compassion. It’s essential. My coach emphasized the importance of being gentle and loving towards myself, even when I felt I had failed. This approach transformed my ability to connect deeply with my children.

Self-compassion prevents us from slipping into survival mode, which can lead to negative reactions and disconnection. By practicing self-compassion, we foster a peaceful, connected family environment.

Key Points from the Workshop:

• Day 1: Stop energizing off-track behavior with punishments and rewards.
• Day 2: Proactively connect with your kids to create lasting bonds.
• Day 3: Practice extreme self-compassion to support personal growth and deeper connections.

Practical Steps:

1. Redefine mistakes as growth opportunities.
2. Welcome all emotions as part of the human experience.
3. Practice the "SOS" method:
   • Stop: Be present and aware of your thoughts and feelings.
   • Open: Approach your thoughts with curiosity and compassion.
   • Stay: Stay with your emotions long enough to process them.
