When your child throws a tantrum, take a beat before reacting. Close your eyes and take three deep breaths. Recite the Yogena Chittasya mantra: "The mind can be trained through yoga practice." Feel yourself centering inward. Then, respond with empathy while still setting boundaries. Say, "I know you're angry. Let's take a break together." Validate their feelings, even when correcting behavior. Model healthy emotional expression for your children. If you’re stressed, admit it out loud. Say, "Mommy is feeling worried right now. Can you give me a hug?" If you make a mistake, apologize sincerely. Explain when you need alone time. As one mother shared: “I started telling my kids how I was actually feeling instead of always saying ‘I’m fine.’ They began opening up so much more, and I didn’t feel like I had to hide my humanity.” This week, reflect on one emotion you tend to conceal from your kids. Try voicing it calmly and constructively. Know that your openness and honesty foster their emotional intelligence. And reduces your own inner burden. You are human, after all. And your humanity is beautiful.
