Many of us with PTSD struggle with how to love our children. Here are some important reminders of how to show our love:

Love

• Find the positves in our kids when they act poorly and point these qualities out first
• Hug them before we ask them about their homework
• Set limits without anger, lectures, or threats
• Hold them accountable for their poor decisions by providing empathy first and consequences second

Logic

When we us this type of loving behaviours this is the logic we teach them:

• When I make poor decisions, it makes my life pretty sad. I wonder how my next decision will affect my life?

What a wonderful way to teach our children a better way of thinking!!!
