As a trauma informed and trauma focused therapist, it's only right that I try my best to make sure I raise happy and healthy children; especially if they've already had a traumatic start in life during or throughout the fostercare process. For them, spanking is not effective. It does nothing but add to the aggression and intensified outburst. For overall mental, emotional, and physical health of my children, it's imperative that I redirect their unwanted or undesirable behaviors into age appropriate tasks that gives them an opportunity to calm down, clear their minds, and make better choices. ❤ . #discipline #choices #traumahealing #therapist #therapistmom #toddlermom #laundry #helper #boosie #calmingtechniques #threenager #chores #redirect #adoption #fostertoadopt #lovewins
