We know it’s better to stay calm when our children have big feelings, but it seems like some days, we can only hold on for so long when they are complaining, crying, or melting down. How can we help our kids handle their discomfort when their behavior triggers our own Yuck?
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why we need to set realistic expectations for our children
What it looks like when we’re using willpower to stay calm (and why willpower never seems to last long enough)
How to shift from artificial calm to genuine emotional regulation
