More memes because with my day off from homeschooling, my son’s playing PlayStation, my husband’s reading rather than talking to me, and my dog is sleeping.

It’s easy to feel like your kids are out to get you when they’re not listening to you. It can feel like they’re purposely pushing your buttons. And the truth is they are trying to get your attention, but not because they are trying to drive you over the edge. It’s because they are trying to tell you they need some thing. Maybe it’s food, maybe it’s sleep, maybe it’s help with boundaries, maybe it’s just a supportive place to let emotions go. • In my house, I often find myself asking: “why can’t he leave her alone?” “Why isn’t he listening to me suggesting he give her some space?” And that’s when it clicks. He needs my help leaving her alone; he needs my help controlling his impulses. And then I can see alternatives - I engage him in another activity, I set some designated alone time where there is an understanding that nobody’s interacting with anybody else for a bit and physically separate them into different rooms. • Maybe your toddler can’t leave something alone in the living room and you don’t understand why they can’t stop fiddling with it? It’s probably time to move the thing in the living room to more a inaccessible place. Maybe they can’t leave the dog alone while they’ve been cooped up inside? It’s probably time to put the dog outside and sit on the couch for some special one on one time. • More than ever before, our children need our help regulating. So let’s see their stumbles for what they are and offer them a hand. • • • • #simplicityparenting #parenting #parentingtips #gentleparenting_memes #parentingmemes #parentingquotes #unconditionalparenting #attachmentparenting #honestmotherhood #intentionalparenting #gentleparenting #perfectlyimperfect #consciousparenting #consciousmama #parentingtruth #firewife #motherhood #rawmotherhood #motherhoodrising #motherhoodunplugged #peacefulparenting #crunchymama #momtoteens #momtomany #preservechildhood #mommemes #motherhoodjourney #reframe
