From "meltdown" to Self and Body Awareness

Meeting MySelf in Parenting - Episode 3Last year, I had a few experiences with my daughter after she had been playing over an extended period of time (mostly reaching 2 hours) - either in the pool or when we'd play in a obstacle course. Aftewards - for up to an hour, she wouldn't completely be herself, becoming (as per my experience/interpretation at the time) "moody"/challenging. At first, I first checked in with myself - made sure I wasn't emotionally reacting to her experience/change; and then after it happened about the 4th time (knowing I was clear, sound and stable and no matter how I approached her or tried to support her - nothing changed) I investigated, did some research and had discussions, through which I came to realise and understand Areah's experience so much better, that it wasn't "personal" towards herself or me - but it had all to do with her body/nervous system's experience during and after play for an extended period of time.I am grateful for this experience, because it inspired how I am also checking in with my physical experience during the day and also supporting her of becoming more aware of not only her relationship with her emotions, but also her body and its experience with her.Thank you xx
