#062 The three things I ask myself when I lose it with my kids

I remember a parent asking me a while back how he could take responsibility for the times he lost his temper with his kid. He felt apologising wasn’t enough if he was going to keep going back and making the same mistake again and again. That felt to him like an abusive relationship where the abuser keeps asking for forgiveness only to repeat the same pattern over and over again.

So this week I am talking about how we can take responsibility for the times we get triggered and why simply apologising when we lose it isn’t enough.

I’m going to share with you the three things I ask myself when I lose it with my kids to make sure I am taking responsibility, learning and growing in the process.

I have taken all my learnings, all my tools and strategies for managing my triggers and moving away from regularly losing my temper with my kids into a new Masterclass “Calm the Chaos in Six Simple Steps”. I would love for you to join me, you can sign up here.
