If you think you have parenting all figured out, try reasoning with a toddler mid-tantrum and get back to me!

🤯👶 Parenting Wisdom: The Toddler Tantrum Reality Check 🔄🤔

If you ever find yourself thinking you've got parenting all figured out, here's a humble suggestion: try reasoning with a toddler mid-tantrum and then get back to me. 🤷‍♂️👶

In the grand tapestry of parenting, toddlers are the true masters of unpredictability. Just when you think you've deciphered the parenting code, they throw in a tantrum curveball that leaves even the most seasoned parents contemplating life's mysteries.

Attempting to reason with a toddler mid-tantrum is like trying to negotiate with a tiny tornado of emotions. Logic takes a backseat, and any attempts at rationale become akin to explaining advanced calculus to someone who speaks only in emojis.

So, here's to the parents who embrace the beautiful chaos of parenting, understanding that the toddler-tantrum dance is a reminder that, in this journey, humility is the best guide. 🌪️🤣 🤯👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💫

Making small shifts towards regulating your nervous system can produce huge wins.

We can’t always avoid the stimuli but we can support our brain and body through it.

This is an ongoing practice that requires self-reflection, self-compassion, and a commitment to personal growth.

It takes time and effort, but the rewards are significant in fostering a healthy relationships and promoting the well-being of yourself and your family. If you want that, the first place too start is with awareness. And where do you obtain that awareness? Within my Battling Burnout Course.

At a family gathering

Nephew 1: *crying because he's tired but doesn't want to sleep*

Nephew 2: *crying because he fell from the stairs*

Niece: *crying for reasons unknown*

Nephew 3: *crying because of all the noise*

Me: (to my uterus) you know, you can stop your monthly ritual. I don't intend to reproduce.

“Heading into the toddler years, children often become more resistant but more able to sleep for longer periods. This means if bedtime is not a battle, you’re more likely to get longer sleeps and less wake ups.” J. Milburn Toddler priorities 1. Seeking autonomy. 2. Discovering and exploring uncharted territories. 3. Using every bit of energy and joy I can muster to pour into playing 4. Checking in with my attachment figure 5. Grazing on snacks . . . . . . 100. Sleeping on a schedule that works for my family (Or any number of other priorities) Unfortunately, the egocentric mind of a toddler doesn’t care about your reasons why they need to go to bed. So while we’re gently reasoning with them they’re realizing that we REALLY want this sleep thing to happen, and the need for resistance is triggered. ⭐️Want to know more about supporting the unique sleep needs of your toddler?

Coloring after lunch. Roran had a picture of Nehemiah building the wall around Jerusalem from church on Sunday, and he's working on that before nap time. . . . . #coloring #creativity #biblestudy #prekindergartenathome #nehemiah #building #wall #crayons #crayola #colorful #momlife #momblog #blogging #lifewithtoddlers https://www.instagram.com/p/Byk1iisHlMX/?igshid=1r1tig90yrgid

I have been working (slowly, when I can) on commissions. It’s hard to do with a very busy toddler, and a very busy husband, but slowly things are taking shape which is nice. So this is a bit sketchy but actually I kind of like it. This is a common occurrence and something I assume most parents experience. I love this curiosity. I hope that we can find a good school that fosters creativity and curiosity in K-Chan. She has so much fun role playing these days, having tea time with her Duplo or dance parties with her cow and horse from Sarah. Luckily Saitama winters are pretty mild, especially this one, with lots of sun. So this isn’t so bad... just a minor test of patience the rare occasion I have somewhere to be. I’ll miss it when I start working (someday soon maybe?). When possible I leave with at least twenty extra minutes before going anywhere with a specific arrival time in mind. . . . . . . . . . #drawing#sketch#quicksketch#doodle#doodles#momandtoddler#patience#toddlerlife#toddler#toddlers#busybaby#curiousgirl#artpractice#drawingpractice#momblog#momdiary#momthoughts#lifewithtoddlers#stayathomemom#sahm#cute#whatsthat#sillysongs https://www.instagram.com/p/Btb5lzBHfif/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n4zm8w9utj4h

Poop Happens

Just don’t step in it please

[drbrookeweinstein]

Bilateral music is music that gently shifts from one ear to the ear.

We are designed to orient towards sounds.

Because of this, the two hemispheres of the brain begin to interact.

This gentle activation of the body’s vestibular system causes non-invasive calming of the limbic brain.

Therefore, music can be calming for your nervous system—specifically called 8D, which you can find playlists on Spotify or YouTube.

This type of strategy and so many other techniques are possible. But we need to be able to find specific regulation strategies that work for YOU.

But first, you must understand your sensory triggers, so we can support them in real-time when they happen, or even before…

Me trying to get something out of my 1 y/o nephew's mouth

Me: open up. What's inside? Open your mouth little shit. I won't buy candies anymore. No. You can't eat a wrapper.

*puts my hand inside his mouth*

*demonic screeches because he sank his Fruit Ninja blades into my finger*

*finally takes it out*

Him: *starts screeching*
