I often struggle with how to set boundaries with my little girl. At the same time I have become so aware that most of the time her behaviours come from a very real need to both connect and be seen.
So I am practicing more and more lately to pause and to show myself compassion before reacting to her behaviours. The pause allows me to breathe, to come back to what I need and what my daughter needs, and to know that no matter what, even at my worst or her worst, I am enough. She is enough. We are enough.
