These strategies you mentioned are definitely things I do on a normal bases with my children. I’ve learned that talking and guiding them through tough times is so important. Validation is really important and I know my kiddos always look for this from me and their father.
Are you aware there is a Motherhood Community? The things you are writing about would be just right for that community of mothers. You’ll find many there whom share their stories and experiences and I think you would enjoy connecting there.
The OCD Community are for post topics that do not fit in any of the other listed communities.
