How to accept and love your own child that stresses you out?
What can parents do if they are having a hard time accepting the weird and stressful behaiviour of their own child? I try so hard to love my child unconditionally but i feel like i can not. Why?
@sarahvanbaarsen Because your child or children are always a mirror of your inner self. They show you what to heal inside (or in a former life) and we can be grateful for that. Give Unconditional Love to them and to yourself .

@lighthealer_arkie i can see what you mean. It resonates with me as well. But still, i have another child that is so much more balanced, my daughter is so different and very very active, (like lots of other kids) this is so stressful to handle for the parents and it makes so much with my feelings...i wondered if there is any advice how to handle those kids in these times.
and i am doing the inner work since quite some time and still on it...
@sarahvanbaarsen Sarah as I'm gifted with three very different children, i know exactly what you're going through. One is in the middle of puberty. And I'm also gifted with a partner who is very 3D. So, I was also forced to do the inner shadow works and a lot of cord cutting rituals and daily aura cleaning, and house cleansing. It could be a daily job whenever a tiny bit of tension was felt by me! And i learned to react as a neutral observer, because emotions are so easily invoked. All this learned thanks to EA ❤
Next to that i do believe in mens sana in corpore sanum. So the food pattern matters! A good gut works wonders for mental health. Try to reduce the candy, but do not forbid anything! Offer lots of fruit and vegetables.
Another advice: do something together with your daughter what she likes. That made me boxing with my son weekly, although i would never have done this on my own, as i totally dislike fighting sports. It creates a bond. And she feels seen and respected by you for her choices.
@lighthealer_arkie thank you. This sounds very similar to what i experience. Yes i will try my best... i am on the journey and still a looong way to go:)
