Honor nap times

Honor nap times

Like crazy! 

Honor this like crazy.

It happens often that a huge frustration meltdown bursts just when I want to "do something"; "go somewhere"; "get something done"... Does it happen to you?  And have you asked yourself why? 

We get so busy with this need of "achieving" that we don't see the ones around us.

I forget to answer to my sons needs, I ignore his signs and postpone listening to him... 

And very simply - this can't be done. 

For me most of the "motherhood frustration" comes from this illusion that "after I get this done I will solve that". 

It does not work. 

And before you jump saying that "children are little dictators" and just "can't have it their way all the time", think, why is it that he or she might be so intransigent with his needs...?

Your child knows very little about what "self-restraint" is. To control a thought, a desire, a word... He doesn't know how to do it, and more than this - they do not understand WHY should they do such thing! Cause if you need something, please speak up, right? 

Right... Haven't you been yourself re-learning this...?

So listen to your master, look at him, connect, accept the limitations this little body has... Listen to his needs for cuddles, for food, for... Rest.

Honor time for rest.

Because with me, every time everything seams to fall apart, just a few seconds after, when I accept to have him with me, when I give in to doing what I know works best - connect - I just look at him and see a Tired being, that grabs my breast to just...

Fall

Asleep 

In a matter of seconds, it all makes sense again. Off we go - I need a nap myself.
