As parents, we do so much for our little ones but yet, they get upset or cry for the smallest and silliest things. For Peace, these little things could be the paper she’s drawing on was folded or I gave her the blue color bib but she wanted the green one, or just like in this video, the binoculars are too heavy. 😳 From an adult perspective, it can make you feel underappreciated and frustrated. One key observation that has helped me is that our little ones aren't adults, these little things to us might be really important to them so their reactions can be explained. Having this perspective allows me to channel my energy toward empathy. To handle these situations, here’s a 4 step approach that I’d like to share 🔅Understand it might be a “little thing” for you, but for them, it can be a big deal 🔅Get down to the child level (or as low as you can) 🔅Ask them how they feel and hug them if needed 🔅Help them communicate their thoughts and involve them in the problem-solving process I hope this little perspective will lead to less frustration for some of the amazing parents out there and allow all of us to express empathy toward our little ones in these situations. 💭⬇️Please comment below with your thoughts, any discussion is always welcome. 💫Follow for more positive discipline + gentle parenting tips. . . #montessori #montessoritoddler #montessorikids #affirmationoftheday #mindflparenting #parentingquotes #parentingtip #parenting101 #parentingskills #parentinggoals #respectfulparenting #childdevelopment #motherhoodquotes #lifewithlittles #asianmama #positiveparenting #positiveparentingsolutions #motherhoodunited #gentleparenting #consciousparenting #parentsupport #childhoodunplugged #teachermom #homeeducator #parenteducator #asianpareting #asiaparent — TikTok @mom.ma.gi
