“An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behaviour.”

“An abnormal reaction to an abnormal situation is normal behaviour.” - Viktor Frankl

The first time your kid fires back at you, is generally a surprising experience.

When you show them love and support, and it's pushed to one side.

It doesn't feel good.

It creates an abnormal situation.

So what do we do....?

We lose our cool.

Many of us become angry, annoyed, irritated...

That's when we need to bring calm to the situation.

When a new situation arises (which is basically everyday in a kid's life), we expect them to remain calm and in control.

But can we expect ourselves to take every situation in our stride without battering an eye-lid...

...absolutely not.

The antidote = self-compassion

Accept the situation, accept that we are allowed to feel (angry, annoyed, irritated) and learn for next time.

Keep at it team
