This week, Dr. Tracy is celebrating 100 episodes of the podcast! Kicking off the show with a moment of gratitude, she reflects on the show’s incredible journey towards nearly one million downloads and expresses her appreciation for the supportive community we’ve created together.
The episode then dives into the essential topic of emotion regulation with the guest of honour, Dr. Cindy Hovington, a mom of three with a doctorate in neuroscience, podcast host, founder of Curious Neuron, and the Wondergrade app. Together, they explore the shift from impulsive reactions to deliberate responses in parenting, highlighting the formative role of past experiences in shaping our emotional reactions as parents and individuals. The conversation touches on the importance of giving children the space to express their anger in a safe way and the invaluable practice of modelling emotional awareness as parents. Additionally, the episode underscores the significance of identifying emotional regulation zones and addresses the sensitive issue of physical abuse in parenting. Dr. Cindy's profound insights offer invaluable guidance to parents navigating the intricate landscape of emotions, both at home and beyond.
Today’s topics include:
- Responding vs. reacting when parenting
- Managing dysregulation of the nervous system and Dr. Cindy’s 3-zone self-assessment
- Why revisiting your own upbringing and history with emotional regulation will benefit your children
- How to best approach anger when it comes to our children and creating a safe space for them
- The importance of practicing self-awareness in moments of tension and difficulty
- Why physical abuse is never an acceptable or productive response
