Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My kid is full of wild physical energy and I tend to shut down the wrestling and chasing because I’m afraid it’ll spin out of control
- I want to start this forceful breathing but I have a health thing going on and I’m honestly not sure it’s safe for me
- I keep working on teaching my child to self-regulate, but the same things tip them over every time
- Even when I sit down to play with my kid I catch myself steering it
- My kid won’t put on the coat, won’t pack the lunch, and every fiber of me wants to swoop in and save them from the small fallout
