6yo: Mummy, I've been a boy since I was 2 ½.

Does this feel like a bit of a curveball? It's ok if it does. As humans we want to protect our kid(s) from anything that may cause them pain, suffering, discrimination, etc. We want them to feel loved, supported, and free to be who they are! But how do we create this environment for them if we're in a state of panic, fear, and uncertainty? Can we create this environment for them? The simple answer is yes. The solution however, is not as easy. Our community and our pillars were created for this exact reason; because it's not easy. We must put in the work to have deeper connections with our kids. And that requires support. Community. Because the work sometimes looks like: managing our emotions rewiring our brains learning new tools & techniques educating ourselves releasing our conditioning and creating new ways of being None of which are easy, but with the support of a community of parents who are on a similar journey the road is less lonely. So in this week's episode we dive into some of this work. We learn how to show up for our kid as a courageous, kind, & compassionate parent. One who reminds our kid that they have full permission to be who they are. One that models to our kid what self-regulation looks like. One that creates a safe-space of deep connection for an evolved communicating family. If you're here, the likelihood is that you're a courageous yet tongue-tied parent. And if so, you're on the right podcast. Have a listen to this week's episode of Sitting in a Car to get support on how to answer your 6yo who says they've been a boy since they were 2 ½.
