“Do our kids feel seen by us? Do they feel truly seen- not for who we’d like them to be, and not filtered through our own fears or desires?”

New article from Siegel & Payne Bryson, authors of “The Power of Showing Up”.

Do You Really ‘See’ Your Child? Helicopter parenting has become the American norm, but it may not be the best way to connect with our kids.

The power of Perspective in parenting!

How might a shift in perspective impact this parent’s response and this child’s experience in this moment?

“I will not teach or love or show you anything perfectly, but I will let you see me, and will always hold sacred the gift of seeing you. Truly, deeply, seeing you.”

Parenting Manifesto by Brené Brown

"Above all else, I want you to know that you are loved and lovable. You will learn this from my words and actions—the lessons on love are in how I treat you and how I treat myself.

I want you to engage with the world from a place of worthiness. You will learn that you are worthy of love, belonging, and joy every time you see me practice self-compassion and embrace my own imperfections.

We will practice courage in our family by showing up, letting ourselves be seen, and honoring vulnerability. We will share our stories of struggle and strength. There will always be room in our home for both.

We will teach you compassion by practicing compassion with ourselves first; then with each other. We will set and respect boundaries; we will honor hard work, hope, and perseverance. Rest and play will be family values, as well as family practices.
You will learn accountability and respect by watching me make mistakes and make amends, and by watching how I ask for what I need and talk about how I feel.

I want you to know joy, so together we will practice gratitude. I want you to feel joy, so together we will learn how to be vulnerable.

When uncertainty and scarcity visit, you will be able to draw from the spirit that is a part of our everyday life.
Together we will cry and face fear and grief. I will want to take away your pain, but instead I will sit with you and teach you how to feel it.

We will laugh and sing and dance and create. We will always have permission to be ourselves with each other. No matter what, you will always belong here.

As you begin your Wholehearted journey, the greatest gift that I can give to you is to live and love with my whole heart and to dare greatly.

I will not teach or love or show you anything perfectly, but I will let you see me, and I will always hold sacred the gift of seeing you. Truly, deeply, seeing you."

Brené Brown, Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead (Avery: 2012), 244-245. Visit brenebrown.com for a copy of the manifesto and other resources.

Children are not seeking attention; They are seeking CONNECTION.
When we change our perspective, a shift in our response to their needs will naturally occur.

“Parents who show up are the ones who have made sense of their own life experiences, creating a ‘coherent narrative’ and being able to offer parental presence so that they show up inside and out.”

Dr. Siegel’s new book is my next read- it seems to complement Circle of Security Parenting perfectly!

What is “Parental Presence” and Why Is It Important? “Kids are most likely to become resilient, caring, and strong when parents show up.”
