Why do we expect kids to do things we don’t or can’t do?
In the same way that I can not expect my kids to have control of their phone usage if I don’t have control of my phone usage. I can’t expect my kids to process their emotions if I can’t process mine.
In the same way that I can’t expect my kids to choose food that is healthy for their bodies if I don’t choose healthy foods for my body. I can not teach my kids how to regulate their emotions if I don’t know how to regulate mine.
In order for our kids to be able to process their emotions from a strong, empowered place, we parents have to know how to do that. Yet whoa, if you’re anything like me, I did not know how to manage my own emotions in effective, healthy ways. I certainly knew how to manage my emotions in ineffective, unhealthy ways: over eating, drinking, blaming others, procrastinating, etc. But how to process them in helpful ways?

I move forward into the 48th year of my life excited for it all and share 48 things: 10 things I do to stay mentally strong, 10 things I don’t do; 10 things I do to get out of a funk, 8 things I don’t do, and 10 life lessons.
In many ways, I could write a blog post on any one of these (and I have on many of them). Don’t miss this week’s Warrior Women discussion (Thursday at 10:30 AM Est) as I can elaborate on any of these. Remember warriors, growing older is a great thing! Raise your head up, pull your shoulders back, and go out there and live the life YOU want to be living. facebook.com/groups/smbwell

If you have a kid leaving for college (or even heading to kindergarten or preschool), you are going to be full of big and often conflicting emotions. Your logical mind can tell you that everything is “fine”; that your child is supposed to be going to college or kindergarten; that this is actually a magnificent opportunity. Yet, your emotional mind will probably be in a completely different place full of fear, sadness, regret, guilt, worry, you name it. This inner conflict leaves us feeling like we’re losing our mind. Crying with joy in one moment and crying in angst in the next. I’m here to tell you that you’re not losing your mind and offer a path out of this inner turmoil.
