Kate Silverton Instagram – Mulled wine at the ready 😩😂 wishing you all the most restful and happy of days … remember – it doesn’t have to be PERFECT – you just need to be PRESENT !
Go with any of the big feelings your children may express … disappointment is one of the biggies .. so just let them express and remember to SOOTHE … SAS style ‘wow you are so excited / sad right now … mummy / daddy gets it …come let me help ‘
It can feel hard to soothe our children if they express upset on a day that we’re all expected to be ‘unconditionally happy’
But remember
1) your child has a brain that’s much less mature than your own .. it’s still developing … so their behaviour is ‘still developing’
2) tomorrow does not need to be ‘perfect’ … and actually, it’s so often the little ruptures that afford us the greatest repair
Go well, hold fast, get a good night’s sleep if you can and here’s up and ‘at em’ tomorrow .. I’ll see you on the other side !
