Attachment and Authenticity - The Child's Two Great Needs

Attachment and Authenticity - The Child's Two Great Needs
Attachment is...
Attachment is the connection the child forms with her Mum – or whoever stands in for her if it can't be the the Mum – immediately after birth. From the emotional safety of this connection, the child begins to get to know others AND themselves over the next weeks, months and years.
Authenticity is...
Authenticity is the child's connection with their true self, with their inner self. If your child has to put your needs before hers to 'keep you happy' she automatically - but not consciously - makes the decision to suppress her own gut feelings, and then she loses authentic self. - unknown

Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory. - Dr. Seuss

We meditate to awaken to the laws of life.

The moment you realise that nights spent with a baby are about so much more than sleep is he moment you invite joy, wonder, magic, peace, and rest into your motherhood. - Tracy Gillett

Our culture is conditioned to convenience. To quick fixes. To speeding up difficult processes in life, like heartbreak or grief. To distracting ourselves. To solving problems. To taking away our kids hurts. To making others feel better...maybe making ourselves feel better, so we don't need to sit alongside the hurt and heartbreak, so we can be the hero who saved the day.
I get it. I'm conditioned that way too. I'm a helper - I try to make everything ok for everyone in my life and I've only recently realised that's often not healthy. Because there is purpose in the journey and when we focus on the destination we miss out on the growth the universe has in store for us. Nighttime parenting is all about growth - growing as a parent, expanding your patience, strengthening your resilience, finding the ability to be present, coming back to your breath, committing to being...and not doing.
In those wee small hours of the morning when your baby, your toddler or your four-year-old needs you...they need you. It's that simple. And as my friend Carly from @beyond_sleep_training_project reminds us, it's that hard.
Parenting is hard. This is not about being a martyr - this is about being a realist. And the moment we realise that nighttime - for babies and new parents - is about so much more than sleep is the moment we free ourselves of unrealistic expectations and lean into the magic of connection, affection, bonding, gratitude, wonder and peace. That's the moment falling back to sleep alongside our babies just got a whole lot easier. That's the moment we stop checking the clock. That's the moment we stop comparing. And that's the moment we start to get more rest as we accept reality and look for realistic ways to care for ourselves and ask for support. When we can do this en masse things start to shift. And in years to come, what you'll remember about those wakeups is the smell of your baby, the sweet whisper of your toddler, and the rhythm of your two hearts beating together as one. - Raised Good

Not everyone is born to partner...

Not everyone is born to oartner. And those who aren't , shoudl never be shamed or shunned because they have made a different choice. In fact, our world would be much worse off without them. Many are here with a more individuated calling. Some are born to explore the interior realms, independent or relational challenges. Others, to create brilliant and beautiful things, with littel to distract them. And others have been so wounded by relationship tha they feel safer and happier on their own. Whatever it is, the assumption that partnership is the measure of an actualized life is misguided. Every soul has a unique path to walk. The measure of a life well - lived is whether we walk it. - Jeff Brown

Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself, it was always about embracing th person you were becoming. One day, you will udnerstand. That happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that happiness was never in the hands of other people. It was always about you. It was always about you. - unknown

I asked an elderly man once what it was like to be old and to know the majority of his life was behind him. He told me that he has been the same age his entire life. He said the voice inside of his head had never aged. He has always just been the same boy. His mother's son. He had always wondered when he would grow up and be an old man. He said he watched his body age and his faculties dull but the person he is inside never got tired. Never aged. Never changed. Our spirits are eternal. Our souls are forever. The next time you encounter an elderly person, look at them and know they are still a child, just as you are still a child and children will always need love, attention and purpose. — Unknown
