R12 D9 parenting
I thought my gift was going to be that I emailed a couple friends I haven't heard from in a while but what I found yesterday was myself really working towards mindfulness in my parenting.
I had noticed a pattern that I want to stop in my parenting. I recognize my motivation for the behavior the mistaken idea it will help/make the situation/feelings ease. I cut myself some slack for not being perfect like http://babeecovee.com/blog/category/positive-parenting/ and I just let it go yesterday. I didn't do it even once. There were some situations where it could have come up for me. I just experienced my feelings with mindfulness and listened to my kiddo, asked questions, and went on being me without the behavior. It was work but I feel so much better!

Nobody who knew what they were talking about ever said parenting is easy. Good for you for finding ways to make things go smoother and easier in your life and the lives of your children.
