Still Dog Tired?
Aug 23, 2020
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 three short ideas to keep you in the therapeutic parenting game while school is upstarting:
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, instead of insisting your child use self-regulation coping skills. Your child can't use those when dysregulated; they need you to do with, show, 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.
Remember, your love matters,
❤️Ce
