  I&apos;ve had so many times where my daughter yelled at me, &quot;I HATE YOU MOM!&quot; I just look at her and tell her, &quot;That&apos;s fine. You&apos;re not obligated to like me or love me. I still love you.&quot; 5 - 10 minutes later, she&apos;ll run back to me crying and telling me she didn’t mean it, and that she loves me. I tell her, &quot;You&apos;re still not obligated to love or like me. But no matter what, I still love you.&quot; Her teachers and counselors always tell me how much she talks about how much she loves mommy.<br><br>She&apos;s got ADHD (combined), so it&apos;s hard for her to regulate her emotions, or understand them. Giving her space, compassion, skills, and medication is doing wonders for her.

  Bruh, I grew up hearing &quot;spare the rod...&quot; I got backhanded slapped, sent to bed without dinner, and forced to admit to things I didn&apos;t do. As an adult, I struggle with Anxiety and depression. The first thing I learned through therapy was SELF-COMPASSION.

  There is nothing you can teach with violence that you cannot teach with love

  It’s crazy to me that so many people will only follow dogmatic religious parenting advice instead of evidence-based psychological help like this. This video is extremely helpful and insightful

  It seems like all evidenced based parenting advice is basically “children are human beings just like us!”

  This must be a mandatory for parenting 101 or even in workplace. This will definitely do a lot of good to humankind.

  She genuinely healed something in me when she talked about deeply feeling kids. I was one, exactly as she described &amp; now, as an adult, I struggle still with these thoughts &amp; to emotionally regulate. I still tell myself “you’re just too much. Everyone else has a hold on themselves- get it together!”. Hearing her….label it….Im in tears.

  Anwen Reid’s anxiety quiz showed up on my feed again today. I ignored it the first two times, but now the algorithm is making it feel personal 😂 Fine, I’m going to see what everyone keeps talking about.

  This brings back memories for being accused of dropping a bottle of soda on purpose, as a child, which I actually dropped by accident. I was reminded of this a few weeks ago at Christmas family dinner. I&apos;m 39.
