We've not practiced coping enough.
We've not figured out this regulate first, think second equation in a way that we can then operate in the world and to your question within the context of parenting so that we can also be regulated enough to figure out what's the most helpful thing I could do.
Because if we don't, we tend to match our kids' intensity in those moments.
Like they're screaming loud, we scream louder.
They're yelling, I'm yelling instructions over them and no one's winning in that equation.
I would say sometimes that absolutely can be the case.
And I think to Sissy's story, the sense is I don't feel like that's a direction that I'm capable of moving because the world's sending me all these messages about how it's bad to be doing that and absorbing too much information.
Can I tell you another great example of that?
So...
We commonly in this day and time will have parents ask us questions like, is it an okay thing to send my kids to preschool?
Because I worry that that's going to interrupt attachment in some ways.
Is it an okay thing to drop them off at Sunday school if they're falling apart in those moments?
And 30 years ago when we were on the front side of our work, no one ever asked that question.
And I think it's an example of we're talking a lot about attachment.
And there's some great things that come from that.
But over focus on attachment and attunement and not focusing at all on the balance of support and consequences and boundaries and all those things that help kids thrive means we're going to be a part of that swing to extremes part two that then kids aren't getting half of the equation that's so necessary to their growth and development.
Ride a bike.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
He didn't know how to ride bikes?
No.
