3 Ways to Hold Space
3 Ways to Hold Space
Picture this --
You walk into the kitchen to find your child sobbing, soaking wet with milk. An empty jug and a completely dry bowl of cereal sit at their feet. What emotions is she projecting? Hysteria. Frustration. Impending Doom.
Entering the situation, you can either choose to:
A. sync to the emotion in the room and begin yelling and rushing to clean up the milk and the child.
OR
B. take a few seconds to close your eyes and see this for what it is. A mess that can be cleaned up. A child in need of love and comfort. You come into the room with your calm confidence and let her synchronize with you.
Can you sense in your body how different those two outcomes feel?
In this printable we have included a resource with concrete examples of exactly how to hold space for your child and what to say. AND we've even included a visual reminder that you can hang on the wall or fridge.
