Ep. 71 Developing Emotional Maturity
from Parenting Paused Hosted by Leslie Potter
It's an emotional skill to be present with your child as they experience their emotional waves without trying to rescue them. The waves are the content of what is happening within the context of discovering who they are in their life, the ocean. The way emotional waves work is they first arise as sensation and feeling, then as story, and then finally behavior. Likely, you weren't taught the art of riding your emotional waves so it is challenging to ride your child's. Most of us were taught to control them, especially when they manifested in "acting out" behavior. In parenting, we generally concentrate our energy on the "acting out" part. www.purejoyparenting.com
