Hey There, Mama-Friend!
Did you know that we all have an emotional bank account?! You might be like, Say What?! Yes, it’s true!
We all have emotional bank accounts, where we experience withdrawals and deposits, leaving our bank accounts full or empty. When we invest in our kids’ emotional bank accounts, and take the time to deposit into them, our relationships strengthen. That’s why depositing into them is so important.
Think about how we feel when we know how much someone loves us, or how an act of kindness can make us feel…or even when someone takes the time to understand our point of view. We feel respected, we feel valued, we feel invested in.
That’s how our kids want to feel, as well, but, sometimes, when we slip into the habit of telling them, “Don’t be afraid of…,” or, “Just try it, it won’t be that bad!” we aren’t taking the time to invest in their emotional bank accounts. When we take the time to understand their perspective, and think about things from their points of view, that’s when their opinions are heard and that’s when deposits are being made into their emotional piggy banks.
The more we deposit into our kids’ emotional bank accounts, the more our kids will still feel valued when a withdrawal, AKA a negative moment, happens.
So, let’s dive in and learn one way we can invest in our kids’ emotional bank accounts, so they are left feeling valued and our relationships with them remain strong!
Be blessed, my friend!
Michelle
