Someone just commented:
“What a brat. Who’s in control here?
I would have walked him right out of there for a serious time-out. I wonder what his full time caregiver, the nanny would have done in the situation?”

Have you ever been judged by your parenting? Feels great doesn’t it.

This can feel like a shameful nightmare for parents.

If you’re curious, here’s how I see it.
(And go ahead please — -make your own call. I’m ok with it)

I think SHE HANDLED IT LIKE A BOSS.
That must be hard.
Having the weight of the world judge your every fucking move.
How would YOU be doing, sister?
Also….
He’s a child. His behavior makes perfect sense if you understand the suppression and intergenerational trauma he’s exposed to every day.
Having to have his voice suppressed to “be who he’s supposed to be”.
That causes deep dysregulation in the system of a child.

Everyone wants a calm child but putting this boy in a “time out” where he’s disciplined as a means of “taking back the control” only further stunts the mental health of a monarch.

Look what it did to his poor grandmother.

Harry figured this out and got out and is working on individuating.

But Charles Junior didn’t.
He’s still in the matrix.

And this beautiful little boy is here to remind the monarchy that if they want to survive mentally and empirically — they’re gonna have to start taking down the facade and get real or suffer the consequences.

My heart goes out to this little boy who wants to finally break free from the lie and expose the “shadow” that’s been carefully concealed.

If we don’t stand up for him and show him he’s loved for exactly who he is, he will be another casualty.

Imagine how hard it will be living where everyone is judging you.
And you never asked for it.
You’re god damn right you’d be “acting out.”
If we don’t let our children “act out” our shame we’ve been concealing, we’d be forced to look at our part in creating children that don’t feel safe to be themselves around us, walking around dysregulated.

Here’s my take.
Throw it away if you don’t resonate.
I’m ok with that.
Our work is to break the cycle within ourselves first and stop judging others.
Look inside first.
Take responsibility.
Then take action towards love instead of judgment.
