You Don’t Need The Right Words
I remember in the middle of what seemed like an endless struggle with teeth cleaning, it was the end of the day, I was tired, I had run out of energy and words. Then something wonderful happened.... I just stopped, I surrendered to the situation, I opened my heart and let it explode the way it does when I really "see" my son through that unfiltered lens. In my softening, I could feel the tension in my body melt away and I knew the battle was over (just going to show the battle was all in my head to start with!). I decided that teeth time would be connection time, no matter how long it took. Strange thing was, it took less time after that day and became something far more special. #MotherNatureMotherNurture#PositiveCommunication #PositiveParenting#Parenting #Motherhood #ConnectedParenting#NVC #Cleaningchildrensteeth
