Blessing Mistakes
This connection-creating, stress-dissolving strategy can be done by a five year old. Since a mistake is already done, giving ourselves and others grace instead of grief when a mistake is made is good for everyone’s well being. It’s not only effective with mistakes, but also with any negative state because those are mistakes, too. Any time your child makes a mistake: knocks over their drink, has a tantrum, or displays any negative behavior, you can use this strategy for your own relief, and theirs. The insights offered, along with several good ideas for when to use the strategy will help you implement this today—one big step towards peaceful and positive parenting.
