Self Compassion is something we do not always give ourselves as parents. It is constantly up against business, feelings of guilt, feelings of not doing enough-or having to do too much.
Peaceful Parent Happy kids says, "I know. It can sound self-indulgent. But the research is clear: when we criticize ourselves, we put our nervous system into threat mode. And you cannot parent well from threat mode. When you treat yourself with kindness, stress hormones drop, oxytocin rises, and you become more emotionally generous — to your kids, your partner, everyone."
- Get the Self compassion Toolkit if this speaks to you. There is a small cost, but it looks like a wonderful resource. https://www.peacefulparenthappykids.com/product/Self-Compassion
