Emotions are windows into your and your kids hearts. Joy. Laughter. Happiness. What parent doesnt want to experience tons of moments filled with laughter and fun, yet life, especially family life, isnt all grins and parties. Your life is hard. It is an ever changing stage whose backdrop constantly changes. In one act there is laughter, another, sadness, and before you know it, a new backdrop falls and then another, and another and keeping up takes patience and time--two things that are hard to come by at the end of a busy day. In those moments, Breathe. Nurture. Listen. Act. After you catch your breath, find out if the sadness you or your child is feeling is fleeting or a symptom to something more profound. Listen to your kids share what is creating their emotions. What is creating yours? Listen to how they feel. Dont say, Youll get over it, or think , Ive got to snap out of it, too quickly. Sadness, anger, anxiety or whatever you feel may require expert help and support to help ease and manage the pain. Dont be afraid of feeling or letting your child feel. Emotions are windows into your and your kids hearts. Dont rush them. Listen and surround yourself with people who care and will help lead the way to a happier, healthier, and more joyful life--for yourself and your kids. You can absolutely do this. Life is too short.
