Feeling overwhelmed? You’re in good company. As a parent, the emotional highs and lows of raising children while questioning whether you're causing more issues than you're resolve can be challenging to manage the emoting. We’re all born with different sensitivities to stress, and it’s crucial to identify and address these feelings before they spiral into something more. It's all about understanding ourselves better, practicing self-care, seeking support, and encouraging our children to do the sa

Although we are tempted (and told) to let our babies "cry it out," we shouldn't. It is our job, as mothers, to be the first line of emotional defense for our babies. If they are crying out, chances are they need us. | Erica Komisar, LCSW

There is still hope. Despite the significant social changes in the last four decades, our innate parental instincts remain intact. Our society has advocated for unrestricted freedom without considering the consequences. It is now imperative that we adopt a mindset focused on the betterment of society when it comes to parenting and our interactions. I discussed this and so much more with @pete_hunt_ during our conversation on @theprivilegedman. Listen here: https://www.theprivilegedman.com/captiv

Lately, it feels like we’ve been missing nuance in conversations about parenting. Just because a parent is really present in their kid's life, does that mean they’re crossing the line into being too involved? There's a clear distinction between being supportive and being overly protective. It appears that we've swung from the extremes of permissive parenting to overly controlling practices, and now we're retreating emotionally from our kids. In all aspects of life, finding equilibrium is essenti

As grown-ups, we acknowledge that demonstrating empathy is essential, even during disagreements. So, why does it become challenging to apply this in parenting? There are times when we may feel overwhelmed or lose our composure, and in such instances, resolving the situation becomes crucial with thoughtful repair. Yet, when we have the opportunity, the ideal approach is to acknowledge and honor our children's emotions — even when we must refuse their wants. This reflects emotionally-aware parenti

My book #BeingThere isn't about being constantly in your children's presence 100% of the time with no breaks. It emphasizes the importance of balance and being around to seize moments that foster emotional connection. Prioritizing self-care is not an act of selfishness; it’s crucial! We must ensure that our self-time aligns with a steady framework that maintains the solid foundation of the attachment security we’ve established. | Erica Komisar, LCSW
