“How you speak to your children becomes their inner voice.” I couldn’t breathe when I read it. I have to make sure that their inner voice is one that says: I am loveable. I am wanted. I am smart and kind. I am heard. I am special. This is a challenge as the mother of one child with a rare genetic disorder and autism, and another child with ADHD and a mood disorder. It’s a major battle sometimes to remember to breathe, and sometimes, just to conquer minute by minute of the day. I have not been the most gracious mom over the last six months. I am depleted in every possible definition of the word. I have had more than my fair share of ugly mom moments, last night being one of them. I was yelling and pounding my fists, scaring even myself. Watching myself as if I were in a movie, looking at my little one stare at me as if I was a monster. Those moments pass and we are fine, but what is the ripple that I have created inside his voice pool? Rachel, your words become their inner voice. ~ Rachel Pastiloff Health Coach. *My sisters essay!
