This is a BIG struggle of mine.

I stumbled upon an old article that felt almost confrontational to read (in the best way).

I’m a fixer. I want everyone around me to be happy (I’m working on it 🥴). When my children aren’t happy, I often struggle with internalizing THEIR emotional response as my own personal failure.

At some point between babyhood and preschool, I started to recognize this specific anxiety in myself- this sensation of needing to fix my child’s emotional response or their situation to always maintain “happy”: the need to make sad into silly, to give into all their requests, to avoid upset reactions in my children.

What I’m realizing now, and what I’m working towards, is to allow more room for my kids to hold their own emotional experiences without interrupting or correcting them. My job isn’t always to eliminate what they’re responding negatively to, and many times I won’t be able to. My job is to hold them through it.

Your baby’s colic isn’t a reflection of you.

Your toddler’s screaming isn’t a personal failure.

It’s okay if your child is upset that you won’t give them a fourth piece of bread and are offering strawberries instead.

Success isn’t fixing everything. We can’t always make our kids happy, but we can be there for them no matter how they feel.
