This this episode of our Slow Parenting Series we are talking about emotional regulation and how we can teach this to our children.To be able to teach emotional regulation to your kids you need to be able to self regulate your own emotions. It is not healthy for children to be in an environment that their caretakers lash out in ways that they can't expect. So you need to take a minute a look within! Where you are is where you are, where you are is not where you want to be and where you want to go. Slow living is about taking steps to get to where you want to go.How do you teach emotional regulation to your kids if your not emotionally regulated yourself?How to implement in your own family?Let's talk about how you can regulate your emotions so that you can be the best version of yourself to teach your own children.Want to know more about living a slowed down life?!Simple Shortcuts to Peace Course - https://stephanieodea.com/peaceNew Year, New You Mini Challenge - https://stephanieodea.com/newyouJoin me for my LIVE Masterclass - https://stephanieodea.com/masterclass/Website - https://stephanieodea.comBlog - https://stephanieodea.com/blog/Slow Living Podcast - https://stephanieodea.com/podcastSpeaking Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/speaking/Coaching Opportunities - https://stephanieodea.com/coaching/Courses - https://stephanieodea.com/courses/Contact - stephanieodea.com/contact/

As we continue through the Slow Parenting Series, let's take a pause and go back to the basics. The purpose of slow parenting is to slow down and thoughtfully and purposefully plan what is next. Today we are talking about school age readiness! Here are some key points that I want you to take away from this episode:You can go into things with a plan but also be prepared for those plans to changeSometimes what is best is to unplug from researching and just be presentKeep the end in sight, you are not raising children but you are raising adultsI have a degree in Early Childhood Education and child psychology and have spent my entire adult life working with children and families.In this episode I share some ideas on how to best prepare your child for the academic, social, emotional, and physical aspects of full day school.For more information on school age readiness, you may enjoy reading some ideas I have on "afterschool homeschooling," here.Want to hear more about slow parenting?
