Spitting Mad

Dec 09, 2020

Dear Parent,

You've heard the terms spitting mad, fighting mad, biting mad, right? How often do you feel this way in the face of your attachment challenged (or not) child's persistent behavior that causes you to repeat yourself? If it is often, then you have to do something different! It won't just go away.

Up the empathy for the hard places from which your child comes by mantras and affirmations:

Even though I feel this rage, I love and accept my child.
Even though I have to repeat myself until I explode, I love and accept my child.
Even though I feel this rage and shame about it, I love and accept myself.

What are you waiting for? Do something different. If you take the time to say any one or all of those mantras before you speak to your child, you will be making the change you want to see in yourself. That's the only person you can change.

Gandhi said it best, Be the change you want to see in the world…in your world.

Love matters,
