Wow so many breakthroughs already. My space is filled with emotional clutter. My daughter only knows the present, not the past. She doesn't understand the pressure or current situation of my relationship with myself and with my husband. I am working on pausing, reflecting, and then responding. Even just saying we are going to pause helps calm my nervous system and she is my mirror.
Her bedroom with her table and her chair are a great space, I would like to create a little reading nook that she can sit in. Right now we sit on the rug in the middle of the room. Still working on how to we get her excited about her big girl bed.
The shop we own, that needs a drastic change both emotionally and physically. She needs a routine, which comes from me establishing what we are going to do there. She can still run and have fun but she thrives off structure like me. Also having a space for her, where she can go and process emotions.
My Generator child is thriving in their new bedtime routine with daily rhythms that include her having control over when she drinks milk and choosing what toys to play with or books to read. This prevents frustration, resistance, and bedtime battles and supports her strategy of responding and emotional authority by letting her reach her own “yes” before transitioning. She feels so much more seen and understood now! I can see how this connects to my parenting awakening story from Day 2 and the patterns I first noticed on Day 1.
She now tells me when shes ready for bed!!
