What I Learned From My COVID-19 Journey

On September 20, 2021, I tested positive for Covid. News nobody would like to hear and  scared to deal with. But in spite of that, I choose to take it in a positive approach. 

 

Here I am quarantined in my room for the fifth day, eating, reading, sleeping, and working in one space. As I reflected a couple days ago, I chose to not feel negative about my situation, but instead to use this time to be more productive, be positive, and focus on what’s really important in life.

 

Being a mom doesn’t have a pause button, even when you’re quarantined. And so what this time has taught me are two things. First, is my connection with my children. And second is taking care of my mind.

 

In this episode, I will share with you what I learned from my Covid journey.

Why Does My Child Not Listen To Me?

Recently, we found out my mom was Covid positive. And we’re all quarantining together in one house. And as we spend a lot of time together, there are moments we clash, especially around my four year old. 

 

Dealing with a young child is not easy, when they go through tantrums especially during a stressful situation like now, I can’t help but ask myself - Why is my child not listening to me?

What Is Your Child Trying To Tell You?

As parents, it is our duty to keep our children safe, feel loved, accepted, and worthy. Raising them with these core goals will potentially make them good adults and most importantly good parents in the future. 

 

But what if they’re behaving badly? How can you practice conscious parenting when they’re being aggressive or screaming at you?

 

For the longest time, parents have practiced traditional parenting. A parenting style that is mostly influenced by what the society dictates. It’s all about  strict rules, punishment, and authority.

 

However, if we want to have a meaningful life and a healthy relationship with our kids, we need to shift to a different parenting style. A parenting style that is focused on building and maintaining a good relationship with our kids, that is conscious parenting.

 

In this episode, we will look into how we can practice conscious parenting through dealing with our children’s behaviors. And to identify why they are showing these behaviors and what they’re trying to communicate with us.

Understanding Your Child’s Behavior Through Managing Your Triggers

Understanding a child’s behavior can help us become aware of our own emotional triggers and reactions. 

Children are an extension of ourselves. We pass on traits to our children, and  how we model influence them growing up. And so what we experienced as children is likely what we pass on or show our kids. As a result, a child can mirror back even the unresolved issues we had as a child. 

With this in mind, healing and managing our child’s behavior, helps in healing our own emotional triggers as well. Once we become aware of these feelings, we start responding instead of reacting. We resolve to empathize with our child’s needs and emotions in chaotic situations.

Finding calm in chaos is one of the most stressful and biggest challenges in parenting. When our emotions take over, we lose self control. We forget how to be mindful of our actions in front of our children and we lose our ability to self regulate.

 

But guess what? There is a way for us to control our emotions. There is a solution to the problem. That is to learn how to catch the triggers before we even spiral out of control.
