How is this happening?
Yana AGARUNOVA,Head of the Parent Academy
Probably, there is no parent who would not feel irritation associated with children at least a couple of times a day. For the participants of the seminar “How to stop being annoyed with children and in front of children” (course “The Art of Being a Parent”), we first suggest thinking and making two lists, ten items each. The first will include those specific actions of your children that are guaranteed to cause you a fit of irritation. In the second - those of your actions and qualities that, as you think, irritate your children, husband, loved ones. Now look at your lists: surely there is something in common between the items. Then we will discuss the possible reasons for your irritation. There are many of them: it happens that the matter is in physiology - PMS, fatigue, frustration due to a quarrel with her husband. Maybe you (like many parents) lack the skill of identifying your own emotions - am I just getting annoyed or is everything already pissing me off? And often, the behavior of others simply does not match your expectations, and therefore you get angry. We may be hindered by our own childhood traumatic experience or fear of being a “bad mom” - since my child is naughty, I raised him badly!
A common reason is a violation of boundaries: both yours - a child, and you - children's. But the skill of awareness will help to cope with irritation - understanding what is happening to me, with what intensity. Games that "legalize" your feelings and their expression through the body, voice will also help: jump with your child, shout!
Study, practice - and everything will work out.
