@Andrew Nelson let's plan it for March in that case. Let me know how you're placed as per CET Rome time and we'll try and freeze it.
Relationships
Oooo. That is a big word for me, not just in length but in importance. Holding relationships in a respectful and helpful manner is really difficult for me. I made the mistake (many moons ago, and honestly, still do occasionally) to see people as conduits for results (my results), rather than just people to be understood. Not because I was nasty and selfish, but because I didn't know I could achieve way more WITH them and focusing on them. Now I am challenged to connect with the circle beyond my immediate family. EG. brothers and sisters in law and old friends and cousins I have drifted away from. Getting people to "open up" seems to be the issue I am struggling with, and while I have a couple of ideas, I am interested to hear what others think. What has worked for you? PS. If I can crack this nut, it will help my kids to crack the same nut in the future because they will have seen how it is done first hand.

I've been mulling over your last response - “Meet people where they are at” is not a moral duty. It is a strategic choice, first and foremost protecting your peace and energy. Do it only when the context and outcome justify the cost. This is my lived experience after overwhelm trying to be the nice girl I was brought up to be! Instead of becoming less than who I was, because that's the only way I could meet them, I began to actively decide who I actually wanted to meet with. Priorities and Boundaries. Also, we sometimes really feel called to help people out because we've been there. We've done that, and we've come out of the hole, as we say. We also know that people have to make the first step towards us. Offering advice doesn't help. If they don't want it, we can scream till we are blue in the face, and it won't sit with anybody! Without any expectation of who should listen to what I'm saying, I just speak it out and let it go. And whoever wants to listen will come to me. It's turned from wanting towards giving out and attracting the right people.
Children are NOT difficult, circumstances are
We often label children as being difficult. We forget that we too can be really difficult! What's actually difficult is growing up in a world that is full of exhausted, busy, impatient, nervous, and especially today digitally overstimulated adults. We were not taught how to deal with the current scenario of digital advancement. If we don't have time for the child, how can we expect the child to learn how to manage their emotions when we haven't learned how to manage ours? It's time to PAUSE and ask ourselves what WE are doing to help our children cope with their emotions and become less difficult. Have we learned to cope with ours? Thoughts anyone?

@Andrew Nelson 🤷🏼‍♀️ Now we know better, we do better 😎
The best thing for kids?
'A child learns to self-regulate by borrowing your calm, not by sitting alone with their overwhelm.' - Niki Green I came across this today, and it makes so much sense as compared to sending the child off alone as punishment or making them face the wall, stuff that was normally done when we were kids. I guess our parents simply didn't know any better. How do you deal with your children acting up?

@Andrew Nelson less compassionate or more tough love? As a parent you know what works and asa self-aware parent, you are able to observe yourself as well. You're doing great!
Giving Grace to ourselves
What a revelation this was when I learned this. Among others, @Tina Saxena (one of our learned members) was responsible for this MASSIVE STEP FORWARD for me. We are not perfect. We will do our best and we will make mistakes. We can castigate ourselves or we can give ourselves "grace". Grace is NOT an EXCUSE. No, grace is the recognition that we all make mistakes, and as long as we do our best and LEARN from our mistakes and move forward 1 cm or more, we are doing well. The next time you make a mistake, mistreat someone or think something less than pure. Realize you are human. Realize you can do better, but realize, as long as you are doing your best in THIS MOMENT, you deserve a little bit of grace. What are the benefits when you give yourself some grace?

So beautiful @Andrew Nelson I remember that conversation. We are conditioned to beat ourselves up, and it takes some doing to learn that. It is a beautiful way to live, giving grace to ourselves and to others!
