“In a world where perfectionism, pleasing, and proving are used as armor to protect our egos and our feelings, it takes a lot of courage to show up and be all in when we can’t control the outcome. It also takes discipline and self-awareness to understand what to share and with whom.”

Sometimes the thing that tips a child over can seem so small.

Shoes on.
Turn the screen off.
Time to leave.
A sibling says the wrong thing.

And we can find ourselves thinking, “Why has THAT caused such a big reaction?”

But that moment may only be the final drop.
They may have already been carrying sensory overload, tiredness, anxiety, demands, frustration, hunger or a need for connection. By the time we see the behaviour, their capacity may already be stretched to its limit.

Instead of focusing only on the final trigger, get curious about what has been filling their cup.
Because when we understand what led to the behaviour, we have a much better chance of knowing what they need from us.

And sometimes, the most helpful response isn't another consequence or another demand. It's helping to reduce the load.

Grateful for a mother who warned her daughters about the price she paid for trying to conform to nice girl culture in the 1950’s. We didn’t know all of the details of her wounds, but we fully understood the depth of her pain.

When she died she had framed pictures of Gloria Steinem and Angela Davis over her desk.

Quote: Gloria Steinem’s remarks at the National Organization for Women’s March for the Equal Rights Amendment, Washington, D.C., July 9, 1978, as reported in James Lardner and Neil Henry, “Over 40,000 ERA Backers March,” Washington Post, July 10, 1978

“that good friends aren’t afraid of your light. They never blow out your flame and you don’t blow out theirs—even when it’s really bright and it makes you worry about your own flame. When something good happens to you, they celebrate your flame. When something good happens to them, you celebrate their flame.”
