I love how young children often skip wherever they go! Why do we stop as we grow older? In my experience, its impossible to feel angry when we skip so.... the next time you begin to notice you are losing patience your child, try skipping instead of reacting from a place of frustration. Sound crazy you say? (Your kids might think youve lost your mind but an unexpected response on your part can shift the negative pattern you might have acted upon otherwise!) In fact, after telling your child youre feeling frustrated, see if its possible to model emotional self-responsibility by changing your outward physical movement. By doing this you change your state of mind and your internal physiology, not to mention turning a moment of disconnect into a beautiful moment of connection! Happy skipping! Elise/Mama Says Om! And heres a song to remind us of the importance of connecting with our children... (even for you papas out there!)
