I never thought about just relaxing and saying "I love you." What a novel idea!! <BR/><BR/>Seriously, it's so obvious, but not, ya know? How old is your daughter, anyway? Mine is 5, and I've just been wondering how to help her in times of stress and I think this might be my answer! <BR/><BR/>PS, I just found you via technorati search for other blogs tagged with "unconditional parenting".Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889912470553026169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294192932287033992.post-56675035906032841762008-11-06T14:17:00.000+11:002008-11-06T14:17:00.000+11:00Ah, my little sister...

I will remember this next time he lashes out.

It really is difficult to remain calm when your child is lashing out at you (or their siblings) and tempers are high. We can't always be perfect, especially when every instinct tells you to lash out in return, but the fact that we're trying to control it is a way of teaching our kids that they too. They can see us struggling to go against our instincts and that shows them that it's not easy for us either. With time they will learn to control those feelings bit by bit and know that it's because they are loved that this is possible as our love for them stopped us from behaving in that way many times before.hippymummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06232856105139634921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294192932287033992.post-19085266531068599342008-10-30T20:57:00.000+11:002008-10-30T20:57:00.000+11:00I love you too!I love you too!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294192932287033992.post-4709381349088247102008-10-30T19:47:00.000+11:002008-10-30T19:47:00.000+11:00That's so inspiring.

I am an advocate of gentle discipline but ideals and reality don't always mesh as well as we would like. I have never hit my children but I have wanted to-I've had the impulse. Like you, I have pushed back the learned behaviors of my childhood and offered something different:love. Its funny because offering love at time like that, does not always come from a loving state. Sometimes you offer love from anger, knowing that love will come back around.<BR/><BR/>I'm rambling now, but anyways, thanks for sharing!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14382149442777459462noreply@blogger.com
