Do you ever find yourself yelling and snapping at your kids and feel like it's a never ending cycle? This is a conversation that many mamas shy away from.

Do you ever find yourself yelling and snapping at your kids and feel like it's a never ending cycle?

This is a conversation that many mamas shy away from. We don't really like to admit that we sometimes lose it, and these meltdowns can often leave us feeling resentful towards our kids and like a complete failure as a mom.

In today's episode, I am going to be teaching you my 5 step system for how to recover after a meltdown.

• Recognize your responsibility + release any guilt
• Reflect on the situation
• Get to the root of the anger
• Reconcile + reconnect
• Recharge

Often the anger we express on the surface is only a part of the story. Typically we are masking a deeper emotion such as stress, frustration, embarrassment, pride, etc. I've included a graphic I created to show this anger iceberg analogy by the Gottman Institute. This is going to be extremely when you're working through step 3.

It is so important to be self-aware and walk through each of these steps. Once you've had a chance to implement this strategy a few times, teach it to your children and your spouse and empower them to recover from their own meltdowns and prevent them in future.
