Listen Later

Let's face it - The pressure on us parents is endless and we're often stressed, which makes it hard to stay calm.

Though I know, becoming a calmer parent is often what we want MOST. So why is it so easy to feel triggered and angry at our kids even when we don't *want* to be?

In parenting, anger is used to defend against our sense of self.  Anger makes us feel powerful and it makes us feel like we're DOING something to change our circumstance (And help our kids learn better).  But oftentimes, our anger backfires because it escalates the situation and leaves us feeling guilty and ashamed.

So in this week's episode, I share 3 common reasons why you're so angry with your kids (with examples and thoughts many parents have).

Understanding the WHY is the first best step to becoming a calmer parent.

Hope you enjoy!
