Peaceful Parenting Challenge: Self Compassion with Dr. Laura Markham

Our Challenge today is a topic that's essential for parents - the neurobiology of self-compassion. It's not just some silly, artificial thing about being nice to ourselves; it's about reparenting ourselves by showing up as the inner parent we all need. Self compassion supports us to be our best selves by nurturing our well-being, our resilience, and our ability to self-regulate - all of which creates a healing, nurturing environment for our children. But what's the science behind it?

wise advice, it sounds basic, but it is not so easy to do. I have learned to stop and acknowledge and talk to myself as my best friend would...the only way the judging stops

This is among the best advice I've heard on parenting and life in general. Thank you Dr. Markham. I appreciate you providing both insights on the mechanisms of what happens in stressful situations, as well as ways to self regulate in this moments.
