I often lecture about life vibes and death vibes. When communicating with our children, it’s important to present a life vibe. A life vibe allows space and opportunity for healing, love, and expression—what our children need. A death vibe restricts, judges, and stifles their ability to grow stronger and better. When you’re with your child, what vibe are you giving off? . . . #stressfree #stressfreeparenting #stressrelief #bryanpost #parentingtips #parenting101 #momlife #dadlife #familyfirst #raisethemright #emotionalintelligence #mindfulparenting #teachingresponsibility #positiveparenting #parentingjourney #learningeveryday

Love and discipline often get mixed up. Discipline isn’t about punishment; it’s about teaching. To truly guide your children, focus on teaching with love and understanding. ‘Discipline means to teach, not to punish.’ Ensure your child’s mind is clear and stress-free for effective learning. . . . #stressfree #stressfreeparenting #stressrelief #bryanpost #parentingtips #parenting101 #momlife #dadlife #familyfirst #raisethemright #emotionalintelligence #mindfulparenting #teachingresponsibility #positiveparenting #parentingjourney #learningeveryday

When children act out, they often feel stressed and overwhelmed, seeking the attention and regulation they need from their parents. Remember to approach these moments with empathy and understanding.

Don’t avoid the behavior. Just get into it! ALL behavior arises from a state of stress. In between the behavior and the stress is the presence of a primary emotion. There are only two primary emotions: love and fear. It is only through the expressing, processing and understanding of the fear that we calm the stress and diminish behavior. ❤️ . . . #trauma #traumainformed #regulation #bryanpost #transformativeparenting #parentingjourney #parentingwithlove #empathyinparenting #childdevelopment #positiveparenting #secureattachment #growthmindset #curiosityandconfidence #psychologyinparenting #parentingtips #parentinginspiration

Your body knows a surviving energy and your body knows a thriving energy. The way those translate into emotions is your body knows fear and your body knows love.

Children’s anger is more than just an outburst—it’s an invitation for parents to heal and grow. 🌱 When kids express their anger, they’re processing their feelings and building strength.

The behavior is NOT the problem. Pay attention to the child, ignore the behavior. To eliminate negative behavior you must strive to trigger the oxytocin response in your child.

The difference between a lifelong traumatic event and a short-term stressful event lies in our ability to express, process, and understand.

In any given moment, we can stop and take 5 to 10 deep breaths. This simple act can help us reset our nervous system, calm our mind, and bring us back to a state of balance and regulation. Here are some tips to help you incorporate deep breathing into your daily routine: Morning Routine: Start your day with 5-10 deep breaths before getting out of bed. This can help set a calm tone for the day. Scheduled Breaks: Set reminders on your phone to take a few deep breaths every couple of hours. This can help you stay centered and reduce stress throughout the day. Before Meals: Take a moment to breathe deeply before eating. This can aid digestion and help you eat more mindfully. During Stressful Moments: Whenever you feel stressed or overwhelmed, pause and take 5-10 deep breaths. This can help you regain control and calm your mind. Bedtime Routine: End your day with deep breathing exercises to help you relax and prepare for a good night’s sleep. . . #breathe #pause #mindfulness #trauma #traumainformed #regulation #bryanpost #transformativeparenting #parentingjourney #parentingwithlove #empathyinparenting #childdevelopment #positiveparenting #secureattachment #growthmindset #curiosityandconfidence #psychologyinparenting #parentingtips #parentinginspiration

All behavior arises from a state of stress, and between the behavior and the stress is the presence of a primary emotion. There are only two primary emotions: Love and Fear. So, when we respond to stress, it’s through our behavior. Recognizing fear being demonstrated by your child is crucial, as trauma creates fear and stress sensitive in children. The breakthrough is when we focus LESS on the behavior and MORE on the stress! Why? Because when we regulate the stress the behavior diminishes. Always remember, an acting out child is a stressed out child! Ignore the behavior. NOT the child. . . . #trauma #traumainformed #regulation #bryanpost #transformativeparenting #parentingjourney #parentingwithlove #empathyinparenting #childdevelopment #positiveparenting #secureattachment #growthmindset #curiosityandconfidence #psychologyinparenting #parentingtips #parentinginspiration

Rather than sending the stressed and scared child away to think about their behavior, bring them close to you and help them feel safe and secure.

Affirming your child is one of many ways you can show them you love them. Building confidence starts at home. ❤️

Emotions color our childhood, while wisdom paints our adulthood. But sometimes, even the most rational minds carry a palette of feelings.

Embrace the journey of co-regulation with your child. Remember, co-regulation is all about fostering emotional growth and building strong connections with our children. By understanding their feelings and encouraging healthy expression, we empower them to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and resilience. ✨ . . . #trauma #traumainformed #regulation #bryanpost #transformativeparenting #parentingjourney #parentingwithlove #empathyinparenting #childdevelopment #positiveparenting #secureattachment #growthmindset #curiosityandconfidence #psychologyinparenting #parentingtips #parentinginspiration

When you take responsibility for your own feelings rather than blaming or threatening your child, you set up the mechanisms for self reflection and internal growth to take place in the child. Lead by example. . . . #trauma #traumainformed #regulation #bryanpost #transformativeparenting #parentingjourney #parentingwithlove #empathyinparenting #childdevelopment #positiveparenting #secureattachment #growthmindset #curiosityandconfidence #psychologyinparenting #parentingtips #parentinginspiration

In understanding and healing, compassion speaks louder than punishment. ❤️

Rose Baker ❤️ Through storms and sunshine, you’ve been an unwavering anchor. Grateful for your friendship, always.

‘I love you’—three small words, infinite impact. When we affirm our children, we nurture their hearts and build their confidence. Let’s keep spreading love, one hug and affirmation at a time! ❤️ . . .

Amid life’s chaos, we all carry hidden burdens. Stress and trauma shape our behavior, even in the tiniest moments. Remember, when someone seems fearful or sensitive, they might be navigating their own silent storms. Let compassion be our compass. ❤️ #EmbraceEmpathy #InnerJourneys #love #fear #stress #blueprints #trauma

Children’s actions often stem from emotions rather than rational thinking. Carry this with you through your day. Let’s nurture empathy and understanding. ✨ . . . #trauma #traumainformed #regulation #bryanpost #transformativeparenting #parentingjourney #parentingwithlove #empathyinparenting #childdevelopment #positiveparenting #secureattachment #growthmindset #curiosityandconfidence #psychologyinparenting #parentingtips #parentinginspiration
