Below are some of the ways flower essences can help you to get through those times:
- Loneliness. You have worked up until now and all of a sudden it’s just you and the children, all day. No adult company, all day. It’s a real struggle. Use Honeysuckle when you feel you would rather be back in your job, it just seems somehow more appealing. Or Buttercup when it feels there is just no worth in the domestic role, you just feel you were meant for more than this.
- Jealousy. Your children are constantly fighting about how unfair it is, how the other always has more/better. They just can’t get on at all. It worries you, doesn’t it? For the children use Holly to support them through the sibling rivalry or jealousy of each other. For you, some Red Chestnut will help you to have positive thoughts and release the worry and concern you feel about the jealousy.
- Anxiety. It’s the first day of daycare/school/off to a first sleepover. It should be an exciting time for your young one but they are so worried. Goldenrod is for if your child is worried about not being liked or approved of, or perhaps they struggle to be themselves in a group.
- Grief. Someone close has passed away – a grandparent, family friend or a pet. Someone in the family is feeling weighed down by it, they just feel so sad. What do you do? Borage will help with the heavy hearted feeling and allow the return to joy.
- Sleep. No one is happy if they are missing out on a good sleep. It’s so important isn’t it? Two fantastic options are Chamomile to calm the emotional upset (this is great to relax children at bedtime), and White Chestnut to quiet those repetitive thoughts (those things that go around and around in your mind).
- Shyness. Don’t you wish you could help your shy child? The one that stands behind you and won’t speak to anyone? Mallow will support them in being able to share their thoughts, ideas and trust others in a social situation.
