Episode 305

When we’re raising kids with big feelings, it can be hard to stay emotionally regulated all of the time. How can we be the parent we want to be when it’s hard not to lose our cool? How can we teach our kids how to stay calm when we’re struggling with staying calm ourselves?

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why we get stuck in a “cycle of Yuck” (and feel guilty and ashamed)
• How your ability to regulate yourself impacts your influence with your child 
• A simple tool you can use in the moment to get unstuck – even when your children are complaining or melting down
