Have you ever noticed how much better you feel on a sunny day? You’re more motivated, uplifted, and everything seems to flow more easily. Compare that to a grey, miserable day when you feel sluggish, unmotivated, and just want to hibernate.
This same energetic shift happens in parenting.
Your Energy Sets the Tone
Children don’t just hear what we say—they feel what we feel. Our emotions and energetic state shape their world, influencing their sense of security, confidence, and behaviour.
✨ When you show up in a high vibrational state—calm, confident, loving—your child feels safe, connected, and reassured. They absorb this energy, learning to navigate life with resilience and joy.
☁️ When you show up anxious, fearful, or stressed, they absorb that too. They may become withdrawn, act out, or feel unsettled, mirroring the energy they receive from you.
And if you’re feeling low but try to mask it by smiling and putting on a brave face, your child still senses the inconsistency. They may not understand why they feel off, but they’ll pick up on the mixed signals, which can be unsettling and confusing for them.
Babies Feel Energy Before They Understand Words
From the moment we’re born, we feel energy before we understand facial expressions, words, or tone of voice. Love, warmth, and happiness reassure us, making us feel safe. Over time, we start to associate these feelings with facial expressions, body language, and spoken words.
As we grow, experiences get linked to emotions. The way we feel in certain situations influences how we perceive and react to similar experiences in the future. This is why your energy matters more than your words.
Emotions Are Just Energy in Motion
Think of emotions as energy in motion—when you’re in a high vibrational state, you naturally radiate warmth and security, joy and happiness. When you’re in a low vibrational state, that energy carries through as well.
The good news? You can shift your energy.
- If you’re feeling overwhelmed, take a moment to pause and reset before engaging with your child.
- Acknowledge your feelings rather than masking them—this teaches children that all emotions are okay.
- Bring moments of joy, presence, and calm into your daily interactions.
Be sure to fill yourself up with things that bring you joy. Like a walk, coffee with a friend as you can't give from an empty cup.
The energy you bring into your parenting not only shapes your child’s emotional world but also teaches them how to regulate and process their own emotions.
