Nothing says "I love you" quite like doing something for your spouse without being prompted.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The connection doesn't really stem from the actual doing of the task... but from the idea that you are paying attention to small things.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you feel your needs aren't being met in this area, don't be afraid to ask for what you want. You didn’t marry a mind reader.😘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There’s definitely a more effective way to make your requests, and I'd LOVE to teach and practice with you as a couple.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Us Elevated workshops featuring the Gottman 7 Principles for Making Marriage work are available in multiple locations. And in the coming week we have a special deal on our Caribbean cruise!

It’s taken a few years, but we can now paddle a two person kayak in unison.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of the time.🥴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you find it easy to work on projects with your partner? Or do you prefer to work separately toward a common goal?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I think either style is fine, as long as the goal is clear, both are appreciated, and there is plenty of fun along the way.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who’s coming to a Gottman 7 Principles workshop with me this Fall or Winter? Lots of options! Let’s make one work for you!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not if you use reason, emotion or tough love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There's only one thing that makes someone change; Their own realization that they want to. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And there's only one time it will happen; When they decide they're ready.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-Unknown ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Letting go of our agenda to change or fix our partner (or child) allows for more love and joy in our homes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Join me at "Us Elevated" to learn how to solve unsolvable problems & be more connected to your spouse than ever in the process. Available in multiple amazing locations!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When it comes to parenting, do you know anyone that seems like they handle "it all" better than others? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Someone you watch with their kids (who are acting like normal kids) and don't seem flustered or annoyed... like maybe they're even ENJOYING parenting? 🤯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When I am observe these parents, here’s what stands out to me: they don't sweat the small stuff. The whining, the constant displacement of socks, the repetitive questions... they don't let it get to them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't mean to say they don't address issues or create boundaries. They see the severity of each situation AS IT IS instead of letting their stress level sky-rocket.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I challenge you to observe yourself this week, and ask, “Is this an emergency?”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Let’s talk about enmeshment with special needs.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you know how mom @michelefitt for this beautiful explanation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“It all depends on your child’s ability to comprehend responsibility. We gave our daughter the opportunity to be independent in small areas. As she progressed and could handle the responsibility, we turned that task totally over to her. And it remained with her from then on, even though we monitored her progress. Then we moved on to the next level of tasks.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The hard thing about special needs kids is, they sometimes get special treatment. In public it is sometimes hard to have a “special “ child face natural consequences for not doing what they are capable of doing. Many parents find it easier to do it themselves.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With kids with disabilities , you have to walk them through the process of thinking things out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And you do it again and again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whether it is an emotional or a physical thing they are trying to conquer, the struggle takes longer.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But the joy they experience by being independent and accomplishing something new is monumental. And they need those victories. And so do the parents.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These kids come with a long list of things they need help with. The challenge as a parent is to find out which things can be accomplished by the child given their certain limitations.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you @michelefitt. Your family is an inspiration!🧡🧡🧡
