109. How to Decrease Your Disappointment and Frustration in Motherhood


Listen Later

Do you ever feel stuck in a cycle of frustration and disappointment as a parent? 

In this short episode of our weekly podcast, I’ll share one key tool that can help you shift your perspective and bring more calm and ease to your parenting—even if your kids don’t change right away.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

  • Why children’s behavior isn’t a sign of parental failure—and how understanding this can ease anxiety & emotions
  • Why testing rules and boundaries is actually a healthy part of development—and how to respond with kind and firm parenting instead of frustration
  • How lowering expectations doesn’t mean lowering your standards—and how gentle discipline can keep respect and connection strong

These calm parenting tips and positive parenting strategies are designed to reduce power struggles, strengthen your parent-child connection, and leave you feeling more confident and less overwhelmed.
