Ep. 212 Coming Along Side Your Child to Self-Regulate
01/14/24 • 7 min
Are you struggling with limiting your children's computer use? Here's a Purejoy take on the matter. Rather than being the enforcer of limits, how about empowering your child to discover their own boundaries?
As a parent, I realized that my own experience of being constantly limited as a child led to resistance and a lack of self-awareness. Deciding to break that cycle with my own child, instead of imposing restrictions, I focused on supporting her self-regulation and helping her understand her own limits.
It wasn't easy, especially with concerns about the impact of excessive screen time. But I learned to work through my triggers and approach it differently.
By shifting my perspective, I recognized that her computer use wasn't about me. It was an opportunity for her to learn and grow.
As an adult, I could guide her in self-regulation, rather than imposing my own fears and limits.
Listen, now.
