Everyday is a new learning !! Came across this powerful perspective for Moms of toddlers and preschoolers!!
There is no such thing as fake communication. Let's try to meet the child's communication with empathy and support them with attention and connection 💞💞

A truly insightful perspective on Whining.
💛🌻
▪▪▪
"Whining is universally considered one of the most irritating sounds in the world. This is not an accident! Research shows that whining is the perfect sound for eliciting a fast response from parents. It is almost impossible to ignore. Our children have developed to make a sound like this because their needs at that moment really are urgent. We’re not supposed to be ignoring them!

Whining is often a pre-schooler’s most efficient means of communication. It is an important milestone on the way to being able to communicate their needs entirely by speech.
When we bring home our newborn baby we understand that crying is their only means to communicate with us. Toddlers and pre-schoolers are well on their way to adding speech to their list of tools, but have not yet developed enough to use these tools in moments of feeling powerless or unheard. This is when we will hear them whine.

If we can hold on to that same understanding we had when they were babies – that they are communicating to the very best of their abilities – we will be far better equipped to take a measured approached when moving forwards to meet their needs.
For this reason we are best not to follow the often spouted advice of “tell them to use a big voice” or “let them know you can’t understand them”. Trust in your children that they are already speaking as well as they can in that moment, and that asking them to do better will only increase their feelings of powerlessness or being unheard.

Instead we can tell our children what we *do* understand from their message. We understand that they are having a hard time and need our help. Whining isn’t really about the ball or the cookie or wrong coloured plate. It is a representation of a deeper need. Meet their whining with empathy and try evaluate the need that lays buried underneath their requests for help. Is your child hungry, tired, bored or over-stimulated?
If they aren’t any of these it is likely they are needing nothing more than your full attention and the time taken to connect.

A common myth is that whining can be used as a means of manipulation or that our children can be “fake whining”. There really is no such thing as fake communication. A request for attention is a genuine need and offering our children that attention in difficult times lets them know that they will always have our support and helps build on healthy attachment.

If we are starting to feel like our children are whining all day long that is a perfect sign that we need to put aside some extra time for one on one connection and for making sure we have reached their emotional needs."

What an incredible journey!!! A big salute to the sheer determination and commitment of this strong momma of triplets and a toddler 💓💓💓

"I'm breastfeeding triplets exclusively. I breastfeed my first so knew I wanted to breastfeed again! People were sceptical about me breastfeeding triplets, and this drove my determination! My boys were born at 29+3 and therefore it was so important for them to have breastmilk!

After having an emergency c-section I knew there was no time to rest, so started hand expressing within the first hour. I set an alarm to ensure that I expressed every 2 hours during the day and every 3 hours overnight. Being separated from the boys was hard so having pictures/video links helped whilst I expressed! Seeing my teeny vulnerable babies in their little incubators drove my determination to provide them with my milk! I also rotated muslin squares between us so that I could smell them and vice versa. This also helped me whilst I expressed during the night away from my boys. Their smell on the swaddles kept me focused!

Twice during our NICU journey my boys were split between hospitals over an hour apart! This was the hardest time and meant I was separated from 2 of my boys for a couple of days. During this time I kept up with expressing and ensured that all three of my boys had enough milk to take with them until we were all reunited.

Looking back I feel it is my sheer determination that has really enabled me to successfully breastfeed my boys! Not once have they needed donor or formula milk. It required a massive commitment both physically and emotionally but I am so proud of my achievement!

My boys are now 8 months and are still breastfeeding." From

Let's try to break the stigma around mental health. It is as simple as how we think, feel and act. It is real and important and definitely not just the absence of mental disorder.

Let's rethink on this !! Time to acknowledge and support child's autonomy 🤗

"Babies come into this world completely dependent on their caregivers for safety, nurturing and care. They have very rudimentary nervous systems with a limited capacity to regulate their temperature, emotions and sensations.⠀
⠀
As children mature and develop, they become aware that they are separate beings. Their nervous system builds new connections and their capacity increases. Still, for many years, they are dependent on caregivers for major inputs around physical and emotional safety.⠀
⠀
Humans learn skills through observation and practice. As children begin to have a sense that they are separate (around 6 months with a huge shift around 18 months), they are practicing their boundaries. Looking away, crawling off alone, dancing on their own, engaging other strangers, not following the parent out of a room are all ways that children non verbally set a physical boundary. As language develops, saying no, crying or screaming in disagreement and refusing to move are other ways they set boundaries. ⠀
⠀
As part of parenting, we will always have to intrude on our child's boundaries: to keep them safe, to get somewhere important on time, to accommodate another person's physical boundaries—this is okay.⠀
⠀
What we want to bring awareness to is that we don't do it unnecessarily or too often. We want to nurture a child's practice of exploring their physical boundaries. Often times when we want to intrude on the child, we want to do it because we have an unmet need: for affection, contact, joy, fun, play etc.⠀
⠀
There's a way we can find that same joy, contact and affection through *observation* of our children. We can celebrate in their joy when they do something independently. We can revel in the pleasure they get from dancing or playing on their own. We can slow ourselves down and soothe ourselves enough that we don't interrupt their life; that we don't intrude on their self discovery and their self mastery.⠀
⠀
This is conscious parenting. This is reparenting.

Awareness is power. There is no shame here, just awareness."
