Are You Dog-Tired This Holiday Season?
Dec 19, 2024
Hey there,
I know you are dog-paddling like mad to keep your head above water while holding your children up over the waterline.
I know you are dog-tired.
Here are four short ideas to keep you in the therapeutic parenting game through the holiday madness:
1. Be safe.
Act like Snoopy and keep your Joe Cool. Your cool makes you the most safe person in the room, right?
2. Co-regulate.
Co-regulate instead of insisting your child use self-regulation coping skills. Your child can't use those when dysregulated; they need you to do it with, show them, be actively regulating around them. Mirror neurons rock, and regulate.
3. Be PACE-ful.
Playful, Accepting, Curious, and Empathic. You catch more bees with honey, than you do with vinegar. You know what I mean.
4. When all else fails...
Stop, Drop Your Agenda, Breathe.
