Bc a lot of people are confused about this and I totally understand why! Parents are looking for a gentle approach that is unlike the ways they were raised (punitive, harsh) but are unintentionally swinging the pendulum too far in the other direction with a parenting approach that is overly permissive and enabling. You can be empowering without enablingāyou can teach self awareness and emotional regulation without sacrificing resilience and *healthy stress*. #parentingtips #momsoftiktok #Inverted
Replying to @š¤š¤ disclaimerāthis example obviously lacks context but for the purpose of demonstrating my point, empowering acknowledges and validates without implying that emotions are facts and without serving as a mechanism for avoiding things that feels hard, while enabling does the opposite. We validate but donāt reinforce maladaptive coping skills. Now Iām not saying you canāt āonce in a whileāsay āk. Youāre struggling letās have a mental health day.ā Of course you can. Like with everything the details and context matter greatly in figuring out how to respond. #parentingtips
The thing isāhyperactivity isnāt just for our kids, right? Itās when concentration is broken that itās so easy to become overstimulatedā-I Canāt FOCUS! But we never allow ourselves to be truly present in the moment becauseā-physical and cognitive hyperactivity prevent us from being grounded.

Anxiety in toddlers? Yep. Itās real. š§ Anxiety in kids can be tricky to spot! š§ We tend to look at behaviour patterns and assess things like frequency, intensity and degree of impact. š§ While behaviours may be ādevelopmentally appropriateā there are messages behind everything our kids doābehaviour tells a story. š§ If youāre thinking about anxiety, challenging behaviour or stress management for you child reach out to a licensed professional in your area. Asking for help is always an options š«¶ #anxiety #childhoodanxiety #neurodivergent #adhd #momsoftiktok #mentalhealthawareness #kidsmentalhealth
Sensory issues are like that. Sure, habituation happensābut itās not quick, itās not universal and itās not appropriate for every context or situation. Fight the urge to suggest that another person ājust get over itā. Sensory input can trigger a fight or flight response and while we can learn to manage that, itās not as a simple as just āmoving onā. #asd #neurodivergent #adhdtiktok #misophoniaawareness #sensoryissues #therapists
