22. Raising Whole (Not Just Happy) Kids

On today’s episode, Mikki explores that to create happy kids we have to teach, encourage, and model how to feel ALL of our feelings, not just the happy.

She looks at how we can learn to look behind any behavior or negative moment to what is needed. Why? So that we can help our children and ourselves navigate the tough times.

What if our jobs as moms is just to be clear and present to where our kids are at any moment? To be able to guide them through it without resisting, running and hiding?

When we learn to regulate ourselves then we are able to show up as the moms we want to be. Not driven by guilt or a need to “fix” everyone so we can feel better. We can let our kids be unhappy without making it mean we are a bad mom.
