Distress Tolerance for Regenerative Living, Effective Parenting

"Auspices is a real word?!" "Yeah, it is. I think I've failed you as a parent." I am DYING over here.

I think you are so right about the authoritarian parenting! People want to control others. Like Leguin’s Tao Te Ching says : “The good the truly good do has no end in view. The right the very righteous do has an end in view. And those who act in true obedience to law roll up their sleeves and make the disobedient obey” . We didn’t spank and we listened to our kids but we did have too many consequences.

Angela! This is right on time. My toddler was on a new level this morning and I lashed out. It's been a super tough week and we've been sick and not getting any sleep and I couldn't deal. I rarely lose it but when I go 3 days on no sleep and and feeling the stress of needing to get to work on time becomes so overwhelming. Thank you ♥️

Lashing out is human. You're a human, not a robot, nor a monster. In fact, I think not showing your kid it is distressing you BEFORE you break probably contributed to the issue.

I wish I had known about this when I was young.

Very valuable information that can benefit people from all walks of life experiencing all types of stressors. I can see how identifying & using these skills would be great for parenting as well as just dealing with stressful life situations in general. Thanks much for the insight. ❤

DBT was transformative for my family. DO IT.
