Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive

177: Three ways to be a good parent, even on bad days


Listen Later

In this episode I take a look at the main reasons why we have these hard days - from our child's temperament to our temperament to attachment relationships, trauma, and neurodivergences - all of these intersect especially tightly on the hard days.
 
Then we look at three ways to get through these days with a little more grace - and maybe even without having to apologize to your child at the end of it.
 
Ready to break free from the cycle of triggered reactions and conflict in your parenting journey?
If you want to:
😟 Be triggered less often by your child’s behavior,
😐 React from a place of compassion and empathy instead of anger and frustration,
😊 Respond to your child from a place that’s aligned with your values rather than reacting in the heat of the moment,
 
the Why You're So Angry with  Your Child's (Age 1- 10) Age-Appropriate Behavior - And What to Do About It masterclass will help you make this shift.
 
Join us to transform conflict into connection and reclaim peace in your parenting journey.
