Life hurts. It hurts so much sometimes it can feel unbearable and lonely and hopeless. But life heals, too. And pain softens. And new friends are out there just waiting to be found. And hope. Hope is waiting; a soft place to land; a warm place to rest; a gentle voice whispering that staying here is an act of faith in your own worth and that walking gently here is an act of love for this good, green earth and that reaching out here is an act of courage that can bring rebirth. Hold on, my friend.

When little people are overwhelmed by BIG emotions, it’s our job to share our calm, not join their chaos. -L.R.Knost As parents, we are not just guiding our children - we are helping them learn how to handle their emotions. But when your child is screaming, throwing things, or melting down in front of you, staying calm can feel impossible. Sometimes, everything in you wants to yell or walk away. And that is normal. Staying calm does not mean you will not feel angry or overwhelmed. It means notic

New parents are often told that once they’ve fed, burped, and changed their baby they should leave their baby alone to self-soothe if they cry because all of their needs have been met. One day I hope all new parents will smile confidently and say, “We have a baby, not just a digestive system. Our baby has a brain that needs to learn trust and a heart that needs love. We will meet all of our baby’s needs, emotional, mental, and physical, and respond to every cry because crying is communication, n

Sometimes, the best way to help someone isn't by fixing their problems, but by simply listening. In ‘Inside Out,’ Sadness teaches us the power of emotional validation. By listening with empathy, we can offer comfort, understanding, and connection. This lesson isn't just for kids - it's a reminder for all of us that sometimes, what we need most is someone who truly hears us. @sierrathompson_Ipca ________________________ 📚Peaceful Parenting Resources: http://t.co/T8goym3P6Z 📚 ___________________

The ability to think about why we are doing something or having an emotional reaction is called “reflective function”. The higher a parent’s reflective functioning the more likely that their children have a secure attachment with them and therefore the more likely that the child is to develop a capacity for high reflective functioning. That’s a lot of scientific meow meow that tells us this: When we take the time to reflect on the WHY behind behavior or emotions (both our reactions and our child

When kids get physical during a meltdown, it’s not “bad behavior” - it’s their brain doing what it’s wired to do. The emotional part of the brain is fully online from birth, but the thinking part that helps with self-control is still under construction ( even into adulthood!😱) A few extra things to keep in mind: ✔️ Redirection: If they refuse your safe option (“stomp here” or “hit this pillow”), stay near by but don’t be a punching bag (protect yourself), repeat the limit once, and model the ac

We’re leaving footprints in the sands of tomorrow. We are the fossils of the future. What will time reveal in our bones? What will archeologists dig up in our ruins? What will anthropologists discover in the scraps of newspapers and fragments of computer files left as records of a time long past? Will our great-great-great grandchildr

She said yessss!!! I decided I wanted to propose to tee! I wanted her to have the same feeling that I had when she proposed to me! I feel like a lot of people have this view that fems can’t propose to a dominant woman! She’s still a girl af the end of the day and I wanted her to feel so special. Every girl she have that feeling no matter if it’s a stem, fem, stud. I spent a month planning this. Everyone that helped me bring my vision together! I’m so thankful. Teira is the love of my life.

Just as rain doesn’t create drought, feasts don’t create hunger, and generosity doesn’t create poverty, meeting a child’s needs for attachment, attention, and affection in childhood doesn’t create needy adults. Just the opposite, in fact. A child whose emotional needs are nourished tends to grow into an emotionally healthy adult in the same way a child whose physical needs are nourished tends to grow into a physically healthy adult. It is unmet needs that create need, not met needs. -L.R.Knost F

10/10 Habits that will make you ACTUALLY unrecognizable 💅 I didn’t grow up knowing how to build businesses. I wasn’t born into wealth, and I definitely didn’t have a roadmap handed to me. I started this whole journey with zero clue what I was doing just a laptop, a big vision, and the decision that my family’s story would look different because of me. I was tired of watching other people live the life I knew I was capable of having. So I stopped waiting for the “right time,” and I started learn
