あらすじ・解説
Hey there, welcome to Mindful Parenting. I'm so glad you're here today, taking this moment just for yourself. I know mornings can feel like a whirlwind - lunches to pack, kids to dress, schedules to manage - and sometimes it can feel like you're spinning multiple plates while walking a tightrope.
Today, I want to talk about something many parents struggle with: staying calm when your children are experiencing big emotions. Let's take a deep breath together and create a small sanctuary of peace right here, right now.
Close your eyes if you feel comfortable. Imagine your breath as a gentle wave, rolling in and out, soft and steady. Notice how your body feels - maybe there's tension in your shoulders, or a tightness in your chest. That's okay. Just observe without judgment.
Picture yourself as a strong, flexible tree. Your roots are deep and grounded, your branches swaying but not breaking when the wind of emotions - your child's or your own - blows through. When your child is upset, you can be that steady presence. Not rigid, not reactive, but responsive and calm.
Here's a practical technique I love: the CALM breath. C - Check in with yourself. A - Acknowledge the emotion without getting swept away. L - Listen deeply to what's underneath the feeling. M - Meet the moment with compassion.
So next time your child is having a challenging moment - maybe a tantrum, or sudden tears - pause. Take a CALM breath. Feel your feet on the ground. Remember you're not trying to fix everything, just be present.
Parenting isn't about perfection. It's about connection. About showing up, again and again, with an open heart and a gentle spirit. Some days will feel easier, some harder. And that's absolutely okay.
Before we close, take one more deep breath. Imagine sending that calm, centered energy out to yourself, to your children, to everyone listening.
