My children’s moods greatly affect me and it bothers me terribly. Especially in their negative state, I should be their happy place, their rock. Not feeding into their negativity. But the only way I manage to avoid joining their negativity is by completely tuning out. I don’t necessarily mean when they’re sad or disappointed. But when they’re hyperactive, annoyed, cranky, overall negative etc.

I need strategies to help me remain unaffected by their negative vibes, but still connected to them as a calm mother.

Any tips?
