historically, what was the thing that most triggered you coming from your kids?

how has your relationship with that evolved over time?

My 4yo is quite difficult (IMO) and I need to sort of rethink/reset my relationship with her every 3 to 6 months.

Some sort of power dynamic generally develops and it needs to be unwound. I need to rediscover and replenish my well of patience.

The only thing I really find truly triggering is when one of my children hurts another and when I feel in that in some sense the offending child could have known better

our daughter (3 yo) has been biting other kids on the kinder and it makes me feel sad and triggered also. and i think to myself: “how can’t she realize that that is not right?”

but she is learning. evolving. and some things are just out of my control

repeated offense is triggering. makes me wonder if the feedback towards offending behaviors can be rethought

How do you deal with that? What can you as a parent do about this?
