OMG Diandra - I came here this morning just to get a shot of synchronicity to help me through some rough spots and I found it in your post.

the love not fear bit.

I just posted about the results of a love not fear parenting concept that I found last night that has helped generate a shift for me. I'm waiting for the fallout of that shift and your post helps me bridge that gap.

Here's what I read last night:
The absolute essence of parenting is being able 2 step outside of your own emotional discomfort in order to meet your child at his level of emotional discomfort.

EFT helps. Also knowing that there is no good or bad about the situation, it just *is*. And there is *nothing* you have 'to do' except just be present for them until they 'regulate themselves'. It takes practice...But I am so much more successful at this ideal that I used to be

When you seek to change your child, look within yourself first to see what it is in you that needs to be changed.

Stepping out of my emotional discomfort allows me to parent out of love rather than out of fear. It also allows me to parent that little inner child out of love rather than fear.

Thanks for the synchronicity guys!!!
