-My Story-
If you are new here, my name is Alexis! I'm a mama of two little girls and a parenting coach. After hitting rock bottom with postpartum rage, I was able to find the joy in parenthood again. It's become my mission to help parents show up with peace even in the most challenging moments with their children.
On my channel you will find gentle parenting tips, everything about parenting toddlers, slow living with kids, how to deal with overwhelm + burnout as a parent, overcoming postpartum rage, quieting anxiety + mom guilt, regulating your nervous system, and a little bit of (real life) motherhood inspiration in between.
In this video I share about: How to Raise Kids You Actually Like, How to Raise Good Kids, How to Raise Free Thinking Children, Tips for Raising Resiliant kids, and How to Raise Emotionally Intelligent Children.

    Great video, but you keep saying authoritative when talking about authoritarian style. I know it's just a slip of the tongue (the words are so similar lol).

    • @slowishparenting
      @slowishparenting Před 22 dny

      This is interesting! I didn’t even realize that authoritative and authoritarian were different. Thanks for bringing this to my attention!!! Although after a little bit of research, I see authoritative parenting still missing many of the important factors that kiddos need to feel loved, seen, understood, and cared about! As I’ve said before, I don’t want people to get stuck in a parenting style. It’s important that we parent using our strengths and values to help us navigate “unwanted” behaviors. Thanks again for bringing this up!! I’m glad you enjoyed it otherwise 😊

    In the midst of a child hitting you and throwing books at you, how would you sit there and stay calm. I don't want to walk away but also need to keep myself safe.

    • @slowishparenting
      @slowishparenting Před 24 dny

      This is a great question!! Yes, keeping yourself safe is really important. Staying calm during the tantrum starts long before. It’s about noticing when you as the parent are first feeling triggered (this is often hours before the child begins a tantrum) and finding regulation in this moment… so when your child does throw a tantrum…. You are able to be fully present, calm and regulated. This is something that takes a lot of inner work, self-discovery, and understanding of your upbringing. It’s definitely okay to take a few steps back when your toddler is trying to hit you or throw things… this is when I say “I need to keep my body safe. But I’m here to help you feel this safely.” I hope this helps in some way.. I could write full books on this 😂

    why are people not honest with younger women who are in the child bearing years? I wonder if I would have listened if someone would have said how hard it was going to be. It’s almost like sink or swim!

    • @slowishparenting

      I often wonder the same thing. Was I just naive and excited to be a mother? But I do not recall anyone talking about postpartum… all I knew was what I saw on social media!!! I just wish someone had told me realistic things to expect once I brought my daughter home. Thanks for you comment ❤️

    I agree so much with what you speak on! and I am a christian who doesn’t believe in authoritarian parenting too! I enjoy the love and logic approach. My husband and I have different views on this which has been a struggle. He is coming around. I love what you are saying here! I have thought the same thing! I try to talk to my kids how I would talk to anyone with gentleness and kindness. I don’t see why others don’t see this. ❤️‍🩹 I say to my daughter, when someone speaks to her and she doesn’t respond “what would be a kind thing to say when someone says thank you?” i prompt her. She is nervous around people. I am learning how to be a mother and bond because I didn’t get this growing up. It’s definitely as journey & I do feel like a lot of people don’t see things like we do, which makes it hard to not feel alone.

    @calamitypip1066 Před 2 měsíci

    Just thinking it did become a thing in the UK maybe 15 years ago to say please and thank you to children, and it sounded very odd and novel to be hearing people in public suddenly being so polite in the way they spoke to children, as this had been unheard of before !! I remember once hearing a mother scream, GET HERE! to her child and then mildly adding, please. 🤣 It does seem to have become cultural ingrained here, which is a wonderful, wonderful thing.

    • @slowishparenting
      @slowishparenting Před 2 měsíci

      I love that this has become a cultural norm in the UK! I did laugh at your story… because I’m imagining myself trying to remember the please 🤣 When I first started implementing this..

    Hey I love your story about how you managed the situation of your daughter feeling too shy to thank the cashier! That's so perfect. Thank you so much for raising this subject. The traditional way of teaching does feel so uncomfortable. I'll tell you my memory of being prompted by my mother that I found excruciating as a child was when we met people we knew in the street and in the midst of loud adult greetings and chat going on, she would turn to me and tell me to say hello. I would be thinking, "But I already did." it's just that I was too quiet and it got lost in the adult noise. This experience did nothing to help me feel less shy and awkward, and yes, you are so right, it does actually from the child's perspective feel that the parent is being a bit rude drawing attention to the child's supposed social faux pas. And how does an adult being rude teach a child to be polite? Nope. Teaching politeness by instruction has always grated on me. I've seen this done by parents who model extraordinary rudeness to others in front of their children, making me think, hmmm.

    • @slowishparenting

      I appreciate your concern! I did not ask her to do this. I record these style videos every now and again… on this day I had actually planned on baking myself and she decided to hop in. None of these shots were staged or encouraged… I set up the cameras in a few different spots as we baked. I encourage you to watch the rest of my content.. as you will hear my heart and understand I would NEVER make my child do anything….. I wouldn’t even force them to clean their room 😉

  • @FortifiedEarth
    @FortifiedEarth Před 2 měsíci

    Do you also suggest exploiting your children on the internet for money? Because that is what you are doing. Your children can’t consent to being in videos that you post online for strangers to see. Children are not props. You seem to think it’s alright to have your children half dressed in a video that you, seemingly, are hoping to make money from.

    • @slowishparenting
      @slowishparenting Před 2 měsíci

      I’m so sad that is is what you see. I can see your hurt inner child.. and gosh do I want to give you a hug. I do not make these videos for money… I only have a 1k subs… I’m no where near making money from these. These clips were taken in a season where I wanted more videos/photos of myself with my girls. I ended up putting together a few videos in this style back to back.. because I wanted to help moms to become the mother their children need!!! I am not and have no intention of exploiting my sweet girls. If you couldn’t tell from listening to my videos.. I love them dearly and just want to be the best mom I can for them. As for all my thumbnails, they are candids that my husband has taken.. as we both enjoy photography and videography. I’ve never staged one… except for the ones of just me.. I do stage those of course 😉 Anyhow, I am praying for you. For the sweet inner child that is hurting. I pray that you find the help you need to work through these things. That your body, heart, and soul will find safety. If my content is triggering for you, I understand. But PLEASE, think before commenting… before you know the whole story. God Bless ❤️

    The part about recognizing change in yourself and at the same time taking several steps backwards is SO HARD. When I first set out seeking self awareness and identifying my triggers, it was so frustrating that I began recognizing these things but I STILL felt out of control. I didn’t understand why i could recognize what I needed in the moment and what was about to happen but I still couldn’t keep my self under control. It is HARD WORK. I think I lose it on my 1 year old at least a couple times a day, and I’ve been doing this since he was born. Right now I’m working on repairing and speaking my needs. My husband getting frustrated is a trigger for me so I’m not only battling my kids behavior’s that trigger me but also my husband’s. (He is also working on this as well).

    • @slowishparenting
      @slowishparenting Před 2 měsíci

      I know!! The frustration and guilt that I've felt when I take several steps backwards... often is what holds me back from moving forward. Understanding the root of what is triggering me was a huge part of being able to stop mom rage. I began healing myself.. focusing on finding safety in my body.. so I could feel grounded vs like I was all over the place. Keep going mama. It sounds like you are doing so much hard work... and your family is truly blessed by that. Thanks so much for commenting!! ❤️

    Absolutely you can be a minimalist with children and it benefits them tremendously too and sets a great example for them.

      I absolutely agree!! Did you enjoy the podcast?? Like I shared in the video, we’ve been practicing minimalism for 7 years.. lived in a 5th wheel for over a year. It’s given me so much freedom. When we declutterred our kids toys.. and only kept things that inspired opened ended play.. we loved how much they played together! Thanks for sharing ❤️
