Dear @Gina Valentina You are such an angel to me 💗. I love this community and your content, especially the parenting lounge. I am learning so much. Do you have any tips on how to handle a toddler that hates diaper changes and fights it so hard like he screams and cries and it has become so stressful. Same with changing clothes I offer him options on what to wear but he just screams. I appreciate your help.

Mindful Mama Tip of the Day 🌿 The more we feel, the more we heal. Feeling = Healing!!!! ❤️‍🩹 The only way to GROW through it, is to GO through it! Our bodies are always communicating with us. In When the Body Says No (Gabor Maté) and The Body Keeps the Score (Bessel van der Kolk), we learn that unexpressed emotions don’t disappear, they get stored in the body. Healing doesn’t come from bypassing pain, but from safely allowing ourselves to feel it. When we model this for our children, naming emotions, allowing tears, showing self-compassion, in these precious moments we teach them emotional intelligence and safety. We show them that feelings aren’t dangerous and that regulation doesn’t come from suppression, but from presence. Suppression = depression. Instead of distracting, avoiding, or running from discomfort, what if we celebrated the moments we notice our feelings? These are often just signals like in your vehicle saying “pay attention to _____. Even when we “fall from grace” by let’s say, binge eating, numbing, scrolling, overworking etc. we can reframe these behaviors as the body’s heroic attempt to keep us safe and regulated. Celebrate these moments to, your body is working FOR YOU not AGAINST YOU!!! There is no shame here. You are no longer available for shame & guilt! We can gently reflect: - What was I needing in that moment? - What would I like to try next time? No judgment. Just curiosity, compassion, and mental rehearsal for next time.. how can you show up differently next time? Script on this, meditate on this, mentally rehearse the preferred outcome…come up with an action plan before crisis… and the same goes for your kiddos! If we cannot extend grace to ourselves, how can we truly offer it to our children or anyone else? We fill our cup first, not by judging how full or empty it is…but by observing it with honesty and kindness. Growing up, I never saw my mom cry. I was punished and shamed for crying, so allowing myself to cry as an adult has been real work. Sometimes it literally hurts to cry…I mean literal pain…because of the conditioning and generational shame stored in my body. So even now, shame or guilt can arise and I have to gently navigate through these feelings with so much self love and compassion. Giving myself permission to show up, authentically as me and loving myself unconditionally.
