Hey Mama!

Parents fighting in front or even “behind closed doors” is so normal. It is hard adjusting to the parent life and figuring out how to work as a team to balance out all the tasks. Or maybe there are some other issues you are dealing with but we want you to know you are not alone.

We also want to remind you that our little ones are sponges and are absorbing everything so if we can learn how to manage our emotions and effectively communicate we will be modeling important tools for our kids to learn.

In this episode we will discuss
1. How fighting in front or behind close doors is harmful to our littles
2. The two different kinds of conflicts( constructive vs. destructive)
3. What can we do to aim for constructive conflict

You’d be surprised to know that we WANT to model conflict because it is normal but we will show you the healthy ways to do this.

Here are some of the many effects destructive conflict has on our kids 
-decreased self-esteem
-increased anxiety/anger
-behavioral problems
-emotionally reactive in all relationships
-increase in cortisol which causes inflammation and increased illnesses
-decrease in focus/learning difficulties

We didn’t realize parenting starts with healing ourselves. But now that we know better we can do better. So we encourage you to put these constructive forms of conflict into practice at home so that our kids don’t have to heal like we do.
