    615: Your Child Is A GIFT. How Big? HUGE...

    I think it safe to say that all parents see their child as a gift, however, just how big a gift they really see them as, might be a tad underestimated. If you have a strong-willed or controlling child, a child who doesn't listen, one who procrastinates or forgets things, one who is sensitive or anxious perhaps, in fact, any make up at all, the gift in this, for us having to deal with it, is HUGE. But only if we are brave, courageous and bold enough to see it for what it really is. If you want to understand this more, and raise your parenting bar as a result of it, then tune in because the gift goes way beyond what you think... In this episode, I read the poem, The Gift by Dr Shefali Tsabary - found in her amazing book The Awakened Family, page 175 and 176 FOLLOW ME ONLINE HERE: Website: https://yourparentingpartner.com/ Book: Parenting The Modern Teen: https://go.yourparentingpartner.com/parenting-the-modern-teen Parenting In The Thick Of It Family Organizer: https://parentinginthethickofit.com/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/louiseclarke.ypp Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/yourparentingpartner/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqdQ1_fC72bKutwr5EfavQA Twitter: https://twitter.com/YPPartner Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ca/louiseclarkeyourparentingpartn/ Medium: https://medium.com/@mlouiseclarke iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/parenting-in-the-thick-of-it-with-louise-clarke/id1358492950 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3pZfkJuOlQNohr4EqA0ivR

    We spend so much time worrying about the fact our kids don't listen to us, yet rarely do we stop and ask ourselves, “How good am I at listening”?

If you are a regular listener of the show you'll know that I don't believe it's your kids who trigger you! Their behavior in the moment ignites a previous emotional experience within you (the actual trigger) from when you were a child where you were not seen, heard, understood, made to feel you were good enough or matter or a combination thereof. LONG story... so what do you do? In this episode I talk about the behavior and what you can do in the moment. In part 2, next week, I will talk about what you can do to prepare for these moments.

    For this generation, social media is HUGE and I feel it has got to the point where they can't live without it but at the same time, are struggling to live with it. It hooks them in and creates anxiety for them when they are in it, chasing perfection and constantly comparing themselves to others. And at the same time, they are anxious when they are off it for the fear it creates of missing out. FOMO is rampant. So how do we manage it? We have to understand it. And then there's the video games and everything that comes with that, including gambling. Having read The Tech Diet, I confess to being ignorant regarding online gambling and the amount of it. It's not to be sniffed at and be blissfully unaware of. You must know about this stuff if you want to be able to help your kids navigate it. Curious?

    I felt called to record this episode today off the back of THE Oscar performance last Sunday night. What an unfortunate chain of events... However, more disturbing to me is the outpour of criticism, shame, judgment and righteousness off the back of it. Where is compassion and empathy in all of this and what is this "reaction" to it all teaching our kids? Whether either of their behaviours were right or wrong, the backlash is, in my books, even worse. Are we all so perfect that we never get triggered and say or do something we, with hindsight, wish we hadn't? And seriously, is taking away his Oscar going to make it all better? I discuss all of this and how we can help our kids not dial into this human drama and instead turn to curiosity, compassion and empathy. We have to role model this and lead the way and right now, I don't think that, collectively, enough of us are doing this. Do tune in...
