There was a time when I thought I was a complete failure as a mother. My four-year-old son, Leo, and I were caught in a constant downward spiral of \u201eNo,\u201c \u201eDon\u2019t do that,\u201c and mutual frustration. Every morning was a struggle, and every evening ended in exhaustion. All I could see was what wasn\u2019t working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then I came across the Marte Meo method. At first, the phrase \u201edevelopment through one\u2019s own efforts\u201c sounded like a beautiful dream to me, but putting it into practice changed everything. I learned to radically shift my perspective. Instead of constantly correcting Leo, I began to observe him closely: When does he cooperate? When does he seek my gaze?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I started to point out and acknowledge these tiny, positive moments. When he put on his shoes by himself\u2014even if it took forever\u2014I would calmly say, \u201eYou\u2019re putting on your shoes all by yourself.\u201c No grand praise, just being seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The change was magical. By stopping trying to fight his weaknesses and starting to build on his existing strengths, our entire relationship became more relaxed. Of course, we still have stressful days today\u2014but we\u2019ve rediscovered our connection. Marte Meo has not only helped me understand my child better, but also helped me regain confidence in myself as a mother.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
