Daily Parenting Reminders When Dealing with Toddlers

Life goes by so quickly, especially life with kids! Morgen and
Trisha discuss some daily parenting reminders they try to be
mindful of as they navigate toddlerhood. Charlie and Remi can
seem wise beyond their three years, and Morgen and Trisha can
forget how young they are. They try to remain open and understand
how Charlie and Remi feel and aid the girls in expressing their
emotions. Staying calm when the girls have BIG feelings tests
both Morgen and Trisha. Setting limits as parents has allowed
them to respect their own needs. They try their best to model
what calming their own body looks like. How to respectfully stick
up for themselves is easier said than done with the toddlers
testing their boundaries. Listen in for some of Morgen’s ideas
about the peace corner and how useful a pinwheel can be. Trisha
has a list of daily reminders she looks over before starting her
day. 


All we can expect of ourselves is what we expect of our children:
to show up every day and learn right along with them. Be kind to
yourself!
