An extremely important part of living life with a sensory child (or any child!) is emotions.  Theirs and ours!
It is most often the one thing that prevents us from dealing with a situation the way we really want to and
know we should.  I, like many of you, would watch my children sleeping after an especially difficult day
and cry, silently telling them how sorry I was for not being more gentle with them, for not taking the time to
listen and help them through a particular struggle the way I knew I should.  I would vow to do better
tomorrow.  And yet, the screaming power struggles continued as I attempted to "control" my wonderfully
willful children.  I had read all the right books regarding discipline, attended parenting classes, and had
months of counseling with my son, but when push came to shove, in the heat of the moment I often was not
emotionally equipped to deal with the intensity of the situation and was unable to make good choices or be
a good emotional role model for my kids.  

Then I came across a course that freed me.  I listened to the tape series daily even if only for 5-10 minutes
a day until I had finished all 10 tapes.  The relief that I felt from just the first 20 minutes of the first tape was
incredible.  I was able to release negativity that I had been holding for many years and I walked around on
a cloud for a week.  Then I attended the live 3-day course and was truly exhilarated.  For me, this was the
emotional guidance that I needed to help me let go of wanting to control my children, of wanting to change
them, and of wanting approval from other parents and peers.  Check it out for yourself and find some peace
at The Abundance Course.  

After that initial breakthrough, I discovered many other options and really began looking into how my
behavior was affecting each situation with my children.  I began to take responsibility where I needed to
and to not blame myself when it wasn't something I could control.  I began to enjoy my children in the way
that I had when they were young and first learning to roll over, walk, and talk.  I learned to be in the "now"
with them and to not over-react. I began to simplify my life, both our activities and our "stuff" and our family
felt more calm and centered. We spent more time outdoors in nature doing things together. My children
began to see the difference between needs and wants.

Your children know how you are feeling.  They "feel" your anger and frustration, as well as your
acceptance and love.  Which is more productive and healthy for you and them?  Which will achieve better
and more harmonious results?  See our Books page for lots of inspirational guidance and spiritual
parenting books.  There are a variety of ways to relax and to get centered.  We expect our children to be
focused and not to lose control, yet many times, we ourselves are lacking in this area.  To be a good role
model for your children, you need to show them how to deal with their emotions and frustrations by doing
a good job of it yourself.  Whether you choose yoga, meditation, exercise, or releasing, give your kids an
emotionally stable parent and a healthy role model.  See our Spiritual Parenting page and Attachment
Parenting pages for more tips.  Also, social networks are a great resource for connecting with other moms.  
Sometimes just being heard can help and being able to help someone else makes us feel more peaceful.

Often emotional and behavioral problems are passed down.  If your child is exhibiting emotional problems,
try Therapeutic Resources for educational products to assist in life skills and personal development. Also,
