When was the last time you cried in front of your kiddos? For the longest time, I thought I was protecting my children by hiding my tears from them and pretending I was “fine.”
But the more I learn about the nervous system and emotional regulation, the more I realize that as long as I do so in an appropriate way, being vulnerable with my kids and allowing them to witness all my emotions is such a gift to them.
So, how can we allow our children to see us crying or angry, without it being too much for them?
In today’s episode, you’ll learn 3 important things to remember when we allow our children to see us in our feelings, scripts for how we can talk with them about it, and ways to use these parenting opportunities to model healthy self-expression.
