I know I have felt like, despite my valiant attempts to consciously speak with kindness, acknowledge needs, and validate feelings, sometimes - I STILL am left with a child who is emotionally resistant and tough to tolerate. In this moment, there is a fork in the road. I am faced with two choices - go control freak - or go zen mama. As I wonder WHAT to say next [careful: death trap ahead] - I apply the theoretical principles I know and realize that the best protection is to STOP THINKING and just be SILENT. Yep. Sometimes the best communication is non-verbal. And the question of what to say - becomes ʺHow do I feel [my way] through this moment?ʺ How can I tolerate these sensations arising in me? It becomes about waiting for the storm of emotions to pass, and being OK with not being OK. On the other hand, there ARE times, when you need to say MORE and if youve ever felt unsure of how to do it without the subtle shades of blame, shame, judgment and guilt undermining your influence - then make sure you check out my collection of MINDFUL MONDAY POSTS on Pinterest. bit.ly/1m1jAqs
