Wanda Zen Mama

I was not good with nighttime parenting.

Especially during toddlerhood.

I often felt triggered by nighttime and early morning waking. I snapped at my firstborn son a few times over this.

𝙄𝙩 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙜𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙.

My parents also weren't nighttime parents.

Can you relate?

Or can you relate to struggling not to yell at your kids?

Or do you wish you could stop threatening your kids with punishments?

Maybe you don't know what to do instead but you just don't like the negative spiral that your relationship is taking?

Because if these are cycles that have been continuing generation after generation this makes you a cycle breaker.

You can:

comfort your children at night as I do now.

learn to stay calm when they are having big emotions.

Find a way to validate your children's feelings instead of jumping quickly to threats.

People think that acceptance is being passive.

But it isn't.

Acceptance starts with actively leaning into your resistance.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙?

Are you resisting their big emotions?

Their sensitivity?

Their anxiety?

What thoughts get in the way of your acceptance of your child or yourself as their mother?

The energy you spent fighting reality.

Once you are focussed on what's really in front of you it's easier to take the practical steps to support your child.

Drop a heart if you agree.

Having to suddenly share your parents 100 percent of the time is hard!

And as a mom it's really triggering if your child is taking it out on the baby.

Fortunately, you can ease this transition by supporting your older child by helping them set boundaries, validating their feelings, and creating family connections.

The good news is that having a sibling prepares your child for healthy social relationships for the rest of their life.

Do you have any tips that work for you?

I was standing at the sink doing dishes and listening to an Oprah podcast.

I clearly remember the message that came through became the start of many tiny shifts.

"You just have to decide."

𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚.

Every day was full of anxiety and overwhelm and I had ENOUGH.

I also knew that my life really wasn't bad.

There was so much to be thankful for.

✅Two beautiful children

✅A loving husband

✅Our first house to call our very own.

✅Supportive family members nearby

𝘽𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙢𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙩. 𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣?

⚠️ I couldn't say no to people.

⚠️ I couldn't express my needs to my husband and therefore blamed him.

⚠️ I didn't understand why my child seemed so unhappy and blamed myself.

What Oprah said made sense to me.

𝙄𝙛 𝙞𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣'𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙤𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙄 𝙣𝙚𝙚𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙.

I just needed to decide that I was going to do what it took to get healthy.

This was the start of me accepting myself as I am and learning that I didn't need the approval of others.

It affected my parenting because I became happy and unattached to the happiness of others, even my own children. This allowed them to take responsibility for their own happiness.

Is it time for you to decide?

Drop a heart if you are ready.

Wanda on the left has chin-length brown hair, glasses, and a blue shirt and is lying back on the sofa with her one-year-old son. Her son is wearing a green long-sleeved shirt under a black and white striped sleep sack. Present-day Wanda is in her kitchen smiling and looking radiant. She has long brown hair, glasses, and is wearing a purple sweater.

It wasn't until I started working with autistic kids that I really found a role that suited me.

I LOVED my job for the first time.

I loved the challenge of finding a way to connect with children that often had trouble connecting.

These kids laid the ground for my experience as a parent.

Here are the top five things they taught me:

1. Join their activity rather than expecting them to join into yours. This is why I make an effort to play video games with my boys when I have other things I could be getting done.

2. There is much more value in the world than the world sees as valuable. Dandylion fluff, the feel of sunshine on your face, getting lost in a puzzle. Enough said!

3. Never try to problem solve during a meltdown. One of the first things I learned! Wait for the big emotions to pass.

4. Let it go, it's not worth stressing over. There are situations that need to be handled immediately and there are the ones to just let go. You will be much happier when you can recognize which ones to let go of!

5. Accept people for who they are. Everyone brings something unique and valuable to the table. Everyone.

What about you? Have you been touched by a spirited child?

What did you learn?

Let me tell you about the time my car ended up in the ditch.

I was a young, new driver and got caught on some loose gravel.

I skidded and turned the wheel in the other direction to correct myself, the car swerved hard in the opposite direction.

This happened a few times until I found myself in the ditch.

Getting used to conscious parenting is kind of like this!

You go so far in the direction away from how you were parenting that it becomes permissive parenting.

That doesn’t feel right and you lose patience and you go back in the other direction.

And back and forth until you are stuck in the ditch of overwhelm!🚨

Fortunately, another teen who went to my school and probably lived near the country road where I was driving, came along.

He understood that if I just put my car into gear and went for it I could drive myself out of the ditch.

I didn’t know what those gears were for on my parent's automatic Dodge, but it worked!🚗

I can be that person to get you out of the ditch of overwhelm.

I know that you can get yourself out because I know this territory well.

I can give you the tools🛠️ you need to do that.

After I get parents out of the ditch I help them to drive more mindfully so that they can stay on the road. (yes I’m taking this analogy as far as it will go. 😜

If you want to finally figure out this conscious parenting stuff and get back your time, energy, and connection with your children type ME in the comments and we can chat.

It's not the public behavior that's the hardest part of having a spirited child.

It's not how you suddenly don't see eye to eye with your partner anymore.

It's when the disconnection happens.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨.

As Moms, we aren't 'supposed' to feel this way.

We have so much shame and guilt that comes with this feeling.

But you don't always like your partner, do you?

You don't always feel connected to your friends.

Occasionally there might be a rift or a misunderstanding that causes some disconnection.

There are three things you need to master to reconnect with your child:

You have a sponge living with you.

Absorbing everything all around them.

This came up for me this week.

I started to notice the difference between my older son and my younger son.

My younger son often tunes me out while my older son is easy to engage.

I began to realize that because he is the younger child I've thought of him as "the baby." I don't put as much importance on what he has to say.

𝙄𝙩 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙙𝙢𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙮𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙜𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙤 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙚𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

I am modeling how to listen and communicate with every interaction.

So if I am not listening then he isn't going to learn how to listen.

𝙒𝙚 𝙘𝙖𝙣'𝙩 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙯𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙫𝙚𝙨.

This is what hiring a parent coach can do for you.

It offers a fresh perspective

New awareness.

𝘼 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙝 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙗𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙨.

It's often hard to see these things when we are deep in it, especially if you aren't practiced at observing your thoughts and feeling your feelings.

I have 5 free Melt the Meltdown calls available this week for you to get some perspective on your child and their behavior.

[Image description: Brown text in a white box reads When you think your child isn't listening, ask yourself "Are you listening to your child?" In the bottom right is a sea green logo that reads WANDA ZEN MAMA with a line drawing of a green, grey, and brown lotus flower to the right of the text.]

You don't get it. Why won't they just listen!!?

It's like what you say goes in one ear and out the other. ALL. THE. TIME.

Like you are talking to the walls.

You are starting to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and helpless.

But what if you could take a step back, Way back.

How do you think they see your child when they're not listening?

You would see that your kiddo is just doing what they do!

Your child is on their own unique path, separate from you and your needs.

They are experimenting with the world.

Maybe you are thinking "great, thanks for perspective but what am I supposed to DO?! Just surrender to the fact that they aren't listening?"

Next, try asking yourself how does God/Source/Spirit see YOU when you are feeling overwhelmed and telling yourself you are a bad mom?

I think that they would see you with so much compassion.

So first give yourself some compassion and then let the universe show you how to respond to your child next.

[Image description: Brown text in a white box reads It's not the doing but the UNDOING that makes the biggest impact. In the bottom right is a sea green logo that reads WANDA ZEN MAMA with a line drawing of a green, grey, and brown lotus flower to the right of the text.]

- "Can we talk about this when I'm done working? Let me set a timer so you know when I'll be done."

- "I'm just finishing up __________ and then I will get your snack."

- "Are you hungry or just bored? If you are just bored how about I get your snack for you at ________ time."

These are a few ideas for setting boundaries with your children.

As moms we get used to giving and giving.

We forget it's ok to set boundaries with your kids.
