Our Children Are Our Greatest Cosmic Teachers
My dear friend Ilka Oster from The Awakened Parent community sent me an IG reel and it embodies the most amazing truth.

As you start your journey into The Unschooling Lifestyle know that the triggers will happen because they are there to not-so gently guide us into the areas of our life that we need the most work on. Most of us have buried and re-packaged some of our memories from childhood and as the years go on they have been coated by other memories from adulthood. THEN, the children come along and THEY SEE US.
LIKE REALLY SEE US.
Our children realize what we need and they get to work. They begin to ask questions, to remind us how movement of the body is freedom and with their tiny hands they begin to heal our souls. They whisper "I love you" and they embody authenticity and life in alignment so well that it becomes threatening to our survival because we have never been able to do the same.
So, we do what was done to us.
We put up barriers so our ecosystem of fight or flight response doesn't get meddle with. The busyness of life and the world's incessant need for productivity is the perfect system to keep us out of alignment with ourselves and to live a life that responds to external validation. To live a life that ignores our own intuition.
Yet, our children see right through that and if we are open to their wisdom we can start the process I like to call "Inwards and Backwards." This process is about taking the wisdom and questions from our children and going back to ourselves and our childhood. Our answers lie in the unmet needs we have carried into adulthood and into our parenthood.
So, the next time you get triggered by your children I recommend the following:
Feel the emotions that come with it.
Find a space for you to feel those emotions but by yourself and away from other energies.
And turn the volume on self-reflection for the physical sensation and the memories that are coming up for you. (the memories may be about a month ago or something that just happened but if you remember the feeling and later dig a little deeper into the past you can find the root).
Keep reflecting on it by way of journaling or sharing it with someone and see what happens.
Repeat when triggered again.
I'm not a medical professional and my process of "Inwards & Backwards" should not be treated as a substitute for diagnosis or treatment.
