Thank You and Dr. Porges. 🙏🏼 What kind of strategies did you have to create in order to “feel” safe? What kind of space are we creating for our kids to truly feel a sense of felt safety? 🤔

I love this simple question. This question: 1.) supports autonomy in your kids as well as the ever important 2.) develops the Executive Functioning skill of problem solving and figuring out a solution. Try it and see what your problem solvers come up with.

Hi Friends- Let’s peel back the fear, shame and the lack (not strong enough, not enoughness) around having big feelings. Can we sit in the love? Can we create the safety that our brains need to feel, process and heal? We must do this for ourselves first and then we can create this space for our kids. For example: I feel scared. When I feel scared my belly flutters and my brain feels foggy. Name it to Tame it..

Chronic activation of our survival responses impairs our health. Understanding the stress responses and understanding what our systems need to stay regulated, stay connected, and engaged for learning is of the utmost importance. There are times we may feel dysregulated, annoyed, agitated, uncomfortable, flushed, snappy, tired, etc. Step 1- pour into the Nervous System. (Ideas are above) Step 2- Meet other basic needs 🍲🥞🥗🥤🍵🛏.

Attachment is essential for the development of a secure sense of Self AND the ability to regulate emotions. Sure we can slide from a regulated 😊🥰 to a dysregulated 😡🤯parent. There is no perfection in parenting - the important piece is how long are our children living in insecure attachment? No blame or shame around our caregivers but WE can choose now how we show up in the world with ourselves and our children.
