💢My emotional technique doesn't explode on you.💢

💢 my emotional technique, not blowing up on you. 💢

Mom, everyone has a boiling point!! Understand.

But this thing that helps a lot is that "stop 5 seconds" time will come off emotionally.

Just breathe in 1... 2... 3... 4....5...Then answer the child

Because when we're angry, our rational brain is really closed.

But when you stop for a second, the mood falls and we can handle it a lot better.

Don't be a perfect mother. Just win yourself one day at a time. "

P.S. It's hard to win yourself. 🤣🤣

🌈 any mother or anyone who has a way to calm down when they are about to break on their child to share it. 🌈

... Read moreหลายคนที่เป็นแม่มักเจอความท้าทายในการควบคุมอารมณ์ โดยเฉพาะเวลาลูกดื้อหรือทำให้รู้สึกหงุดหงิดจนอยากระเบิดอารมณ์ เทคนิคคุมอารมณ์แม่ที่แนะนำคือการ 'หยุด 5 วินาที' ก่อนตอบสนองลูก เพื่อหยุดความโมโหและเปิดพื้นที่สำหรับสมองส่วนเหตุผลได้ทำงานอย่างเต็มที่ เทคนิคนี้ใช้ง่ายมาก เพียงแค่หยุดและหายใจเข้า-ออกลึกๆ ช้าๆ นับ 1 ถึง 5 ก่อนจะพูดหรือทำอะไรต่อไป เหตุผลคือเวลาที่เราโกรธ สมองเหตุผลในสมองจะหยุดทำงาน ส่งผลให้เราตอบสนองด้วยอารมณ์มากกว่าความคิด การหยุดเพียงเล็กน้อยนี้ ช่วยให้คุณได้เวลาผ่อนคลายอารมณ์ ลดความตึงเครียด และทำให้การสื่อสารกับลูกมีคุณภาพมากขึ้น นอกจากนี้ คุณแม่ไม่ควรวางคาดหวังว่าจะต้องเป็นแม่เพอร์เฟ็กต์ เพราะการควบคุมอารมณ์เป็นทักษะที่ต้องฝึกฝนอย่างต่อเนื่อง และการยอมรับว่าตัวเองมีจุดอ่อนบ้างนั้นเป็นเรื่องปกติ การชนะตัวเองทีละวัน คือการดูแลสุขภาพจิตใจอย่างแท้จริง ในชีวิตประจำวันยังมีวิธีอื่นๆ ที่ช่วยให้ควบคุมอารมณ์ได้ดี เช่น การหาเวลาผ่อนคลายด้วยกิจกรรมที่ชอบ หรือลองเขียนบันทึกความรู้สึกเพื่อคลายความกดดัน และอย่าลังเลที่จะขอความช่วยเหลือจากคนรอบข้างหากรู้สึกว่าสถานการณ์ตึงเครียดเกินไป สุดท้าย การแบ่งปันประสบการณ์และเทคนิคของแต่ละคนในกลุ่มแม่มือใหม่หรือกลุ่มเลี้ยงลูก จะช่วยสร้างแรงสนับสนุนที่ดีและมุมมองใหม่ๆ เพื่อให้ทุกคนรู้สึกไม่โดดเดี่ยวและสามารถใช้เทคนิดคุมอารมณ์แม่ให้ผ่านช่วงเวลาที่ยากลำบากไปได้
