"My kids have truly become my teachers"
My WHY was to never use violence with my kids anymore when I feel totally overwhelmed (I happened to push them, or close their mouth when they cry, or even shake them a couple of times). I was always an empathic, understanding and supportive parent, but my issue WAS Reactivity. At the end of this Quest, I can say that I no longer even get upset when my kids cry, while it used to drive me crazy. I hear them, I feel them, I empathize, I understand, I provide support, without trying to fix anything or find a solution. I trust the natural learning process and my role has shifted from finding solutions for them to just holding their hands. As I feel them, I learn from their amazing ability to entirely feel their feelings. Then it goes by magic, just as it came, just by acknowledging and being in the present moment. While I used to rush my kids and get impatient, I now admire their ability to live in the present moment and not get stressed out. My kids have truly become my teachers. And My intention is to embody Water, go with the flow and the path of less resistance. So thank you Dr Shefali Tsabary this has been a truly transformative journey.
