Memorable Moments:

\u201dChildren have challenging behaviors all the time,\xa0 even if you\u2019re not dealing with neurodivergence or ADHD. There are things that set us off as parents, and it goes back to how we view the situation.\u201d

\u201dAs moms, everyone is so hard on ourselves. We are constantly berating ourselves.\u201d

\u201dAll these things we say to ourselves, we would not accept anyone else saying to us.\u201d

\u201dThis constant flow of insults really affects our mood and really brings us down, so the first thing I would suggest is to start looking to see, \u2018What am I saying to myself?\u2019\u201d

\u201dIf we give ourselves that self-compassion\u2026that is such a big help against that guilt that we feel every day.\u201d

\u201dA lot of the guilt also comes from trying to do it all.\u201d

\u201dWe have issues asking for help\u2026so much so that we would rather do it ourselves than ask for the help when doing it.\u201d

\u201dIf you have another adult in the home in addition to yourself, there is no reason you should be doing all the work.\u201d

\u201dIt\u2019s never going to fix the situation if you don\u2019t let people experience the natural consequences.\u201d

\u201dAm I going to be resentful and angry if I do this right now? If the answer is yes, then I don\u2019t do it, and I let natural consequences take its course.\u201d

\u201dGuilt never goes away; you just get better at handling it.\u201d
