Just Add Water for Any Situation
My favorite piece of parenting advice has always been, "just add water." It can be applied in so many ways. Little ones are fussy? Play in the bath. Summer time boredom? Set up a sprinkler. Big emotions taking over? Have a drink of cold water.
I love the advice because it helps us to look beneath a child's behavior and focus on an underlying need (like play and connection) or help a child access a sensory calming tool in a state of upset.
I received this advice when my first child was born and I've seen my parenting style follow a similar essence. When a challenge pops up in my family, I make every effort to get curious before jumping into solution or punishment mode.
It makes a world of difference. Oh! And the same principles can be applied to us as adults. A drink of water, a bubble bath, or hot shower helps us feel better too!
